CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY DECEMBER 23, 2020
HAVE YOU READ THE $900 BILLION COVID RELIEF BILL JUST PASSED BY CONGRESS AFTER SIX MONTHS OF POLITICAL HAGGLING? I DOUBT IT. MOST MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVEN’T. IT’S MORE THAN 5500 PAGES. IN ADDITION TO WHAT YOU MIGHT EXPECT IN UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE, PAYCHECK PROTECTION, AID TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES, FOOD AND FARM AID – THERE IS ALSO MORE PORK THAN ONE WOULD FIND ON A PIG FARM.
WHAT DOES HORSE RACE DOPING HAVE TO DO WITH THE VIRUS? THIS IS A PET PROJECT OF SENATE MAJORITY LEADER MITCH MCCONNELL OF KENTUCKY, WHICH IS HORSE COUNTRY. WHY IS MONEY FOR NEW SMITHSONIAM MUSEUMS IN THE BILL? $10 MILLION FOR “GENDER RESEARCH” IN PAKISTAN? THANK NANCY PELOSI FOR THAT ONE. THERE IS NOTHING FOR RESTAURANTS.
GOVERNMENT GROWS AND GROWS AND NEITHER PARTY WILL STOP IT. WE CAN’T AFFORD THIS. AS I ARGUE IN MY BOOK “AMERICA’S EXPIRATION DATE.” MASSIVE NATIONAL DEBT IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF THE DECLINE OF SUPERPOWERS. ADD TO THIS OUR MORAL COLLAPSE AND WE ARE WELL ON OUR WAY TO EXTINCTION, OR AT LEAST A SHADOW OF OUR FORMER SELVES.
ONLY WHEN PEOPLE TELL THEIR LEADERS “ENOUGH” WILL IT STOP. BUT WILL THEY? I’M CAL THOMAS.
