’s top priorities.The measure would provide a massive injection of federal money for a range of public works programs, from roads and bridges to broadband internet access, drinking water and more.

#4 If your goal is to loot what is left of the treasury to enrich your friends in the near term, and impoverish your enemies while you can still exercise the stolen power of public office, and the end-state you seek is open rebellion so you can crush what is left of middle class, whom you know will be the core of resistence in the new workers paradise, what better way than instituting Venezuela style fiscal policies. The preposterous story of an insurrection is to create the contrived pretext of rebellious white supremacy that will explain the coming civil unrest by those whose future you have destroyed.
