Free money
I know we have debated who’s to blame for the economic downturn, and there are fingers pointing in all directions. But the story that was in the center of today’s TFP by David Floyd is a gross example of the willy-nilly, free-wheeling check-writing incompetence of Joe Biden.
The American Rescue Plan Act, passed by the Democrat-controlled Congress in 2021, was used all over Hamilton County on Wednesday, and it was hardly about rescues and nothing close to American.
Sure, it was passed under the good intentions of helping people during the pandemic. But, you know what they say, no good deed goes unpunished, because if the Hamilton County commission did not spend the more than $71 million allowed to our county, that money would have been lost.
Yeah, the spend it or lose it philosophy always leads to frivolous decisions.
