My neck is getting a lot of exercise recently through shaking my head back and forth. Does anyone (including major media outlets – our “entertainment news”) – realize what is happening?

The headlines are all saying – the stock market is dropped even though Biden announced his “economic stimulus” – Really? – Who’s Economy? Other than online retail being boosted due to more money in the hands of people who will spend it – I’m not sure what economy this is really helping? (Goods producing countries like China maybe?)

Take a look at the “Major Points” of Biden’s money distribution plan. *Money for people making less than $100,000 per year (or about 125 Million people getting checks up to $2000, plus additional for having children!)

*Money for States who have spent their budgets- mainly California which is $50billion in debt! (They have a law that won’t allow them to reduce their budget and require a 15% increase annually – of course they are broke – when they won’t allow their number one industries to be open – THE – Tourism, Hospitality, Entertainment!

*Money for those unemployed – basically replacing full income for millions of people who are working in low paying jobs (wonder why unemployment claims have gone up this week? – DUH!)

*Tax credits for companies who provide time off for employees – (That means don’t produce and we give you money!)How about – force companies to pay employees more (especially part time employees with no skills or education) by raising minimum wage. (Where does this improve economic productivity?)There are a few items seemingly necessary – such as:

*Aid for small businesses – we need these economic engines – BUT – they must be viable businesses – if banks won’t lend to them – why should tax payers lend to them?

*Money going to help with getting the Vaccine for Sars-2 (the actual virus that causes Covid-19) – but once vaccines are delivered – these temporary location should be shut down!!

*Preventing foreclosures – basically – this will help the property owner industry as they will continue to receive their rental income. So – if you are part of the, up to 50 million people who live on government subsistence of any kind – you will continue and receive more.

If you were working in the THE industries – you will receive some income (For a while, hopefully the vaccine is successful and you can all go back to work!) If you are working, but have less than $100,000 income (proven by what you send to the IRS) then you will get a check – (Which personally will help me economically because I own stock in Amazon.)Just think – the United States will be making the largest re-distribution of funds – since the Gaul’s Sacked Rome and took off with their wealth! (That would have started around July 18, 387 BC.)

So it has been a while. Note: If anyone thinks the new Social Democracy (who recently came out ahead in the 2020 election) is a boon for the people – haven’t learned from history. Take a look at South Africa – when apartheid (philosophy of operational segregation) was removed by elections in 1994 – there have been some infrastructure improvements (which may have happened anyway) – but separation of economic prosperity became worse! – 86% of South Africa wealth is controlled by about 3500 people. This makes the 1% in the US seem like a vary large number!

I don’t propose segregation – equality is for everyone. But the process in which governments force equality on their society is the question. Does giving money away help in the long term? Or, does real economic development (Spend the money on US Infrastructure for future jobs and future business?) make better sense for the future?

Just think – if the past 20 years – the US debt (money spent more than income) has grown from $5.674 trillion in 2000 – to just about $20 Trillion today. (And this is both Republican and Democratic leadership- both spent what they don’t have)Now let me ask – if the $14 Trillion were spent on real economics – real infrastructure – would the US be worried about any other country? (And how much of the debt left the US – given to other countries and their own economic development??)

How our Congress spends our tax money makes a big difference in the future of the country. Do they spend for today (buy votes?) – or do they spend for real economic growth??
