OUTRAGEOUS SPENDING

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 26, 2022

    JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS THE SENATE, WITH THE HELP OF EIGHTEEN REPUBLICANS, PASSED AN OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL THAT CONTAINS MORE PORK THAN PORKY PIG CARRIES AROUND.

    AMONG THE PROVISIONS IN THE BILL WERE A BUNCH OF EARMARKS SUPPORTING THE LGBTQ AGENDA. THERE’S $1.2 MILLION FOR “PRIDE CENTERS” AT SAN DIEGO COMMUNITY COLLEGE. $1 MILLION FOR “WOMEN AND GENDER-EXPANSIVE PEOPLE OF COLOR AT AN OHIO LOCATION. $3 MILLION FOR THE AMERICAN LGBTQ MUSEUM IN NEW YORK CITY. $250 THOUSAND FOR “OUR LIVES MATTER,” A GAY RIGHTS LAW ARCHIVE IN WISCONSIN. $750 THOUSAND FOR THE TRANS@COALITION TO PROVIDE “WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES FOR TRANSGENDER AND GENDER NONCONFORMING AND INTERSEX IMMIGRANT WOMEN IN LOS ANGELES.”

    NO MONEY TO BUILD A BORDER WALL. NO MONEY TO CURB THE INFLUX OF DEADLY FENTANYL DRUG. NO MONEY ARE THE KEY WORDS. WE HAVE A $32 TRILLION DEBT, BUT REPUBLICANS FEAR THEY WILL BE BLAMED FOR SHUTTING DOWN THE GOVERNMENT IF THEY DON’T GO ALONG. WHAT GOOD IS HAVING A REPUBLICAN PARTY IF THEY CONSTANTLY CAVE TO DEMOCRATS? I’M CAL THOMAS.
