Biden Will Ask Congress For $32 Billion To Fund The Police
2022-03-29
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] President Joe Biden will propose a $5.8 trillion Fiscal Year 2023 budget Monday

  • It will include $32 billion in funding for law enforcement and crime prevention

  • Comes despite years-long calls from progressives to defund the police

  • Biden has distanced himself from this rhetoric going into the 2022 midterms

  • 'We should all agree – the answer is not to defund the police, it's to fund the police,' the president said during his State of the Union address this month

  • Crime has been on the rise, especially in cities, over the last two years and Americans have expressed they don't feel safe in their communities

  • The FY2023 budget proposal will also include a 20% minimum tax on households worth more than $100 million

Based on what I see on TV-News, maybe a deduction NOT TO have kids is a better idea. I feel assured the LSD crowd would likely account for 90% to 95% in line for the $$$$. ☻☺

If you want to promote the next generation, you might want to include a child deduction.

#10  "The FY2023 budget proposal will also include a 20% minimum tax on households worth more than $100 million"

Notes:
* In 2021, the USA generated $6.6T in purchases/sales
* Had $19.5T GDP,
* and collected roughly $4.05T Tax revenue.

BTW: In 2021, the United States give $38B for foreign aid spending. With about 154M registered US voters that works out to about $246.75 for each voter. How much did you have to work to cover that donation?

OBTW: An average US Taxpayer gets hit with about 28.3% in total Federal Taxes. Or about $18,368 of an “average wage earner’s” salary. (according to OECD calculations)

The average annual wage in 2019 in the US was $51,916.27.
How about a 10% Flat Tax for EVERYONE with no deductions and political economy steering?

Because $5,196.00 sure sounds a lot better than $18,368.

There are 17,985 U.S. police agencies/dept. in the United States, which include about 654,900 sworn officers.

$32B divided by 654,900 = 48,862.42 each, divided by 12 months = $4,071.86 more per month.

Of course, it is more than likely the LEO's will only see a small raise.
It is more likely 90% of it will make its way into Local and State Politician's hands for "creative" Social Justice and Police re-training.

Either way, it sure sounds like a $$$ Around About BRIBE $$$ with hopes to get Police support in 2022 and 2024.

#8  Local policing is a local matter not federal. Maybe like Germany, they should spend less on virtue signaling and more on primary responsibilities of government like security.

"As you all know, crime has been riding ever since I was elected. Parts of thus country look like motherfcuking Libya sometimes!"

[minder nudges elbow, points to cue card]

"Uhh... So... Yes. We need stronger policing! And the police, well they need money, those lousy pot bellied bast..."

[minder nudges firmly, hands next cue card]

"Ha ha... the lousy criminals err... lousing up the cities. We need cops to put them in their place right? Why some o' those beanie wearing..."

[minder whacks him upside the head]

"I mean ... Look. We need 32 billion dollars. I mean America needs to spend the exact figure of 32 billion dollars to..."
