Congress enacted nearly $6 trillion in extra money through multiple COVID-19 relief packages and the Democrats’ $1.9 trillion non-COVID spending bill in March.
Given the magnitude of spending and the various programs included in these packages, there are differences in what is considered “COVID” money and it’s hard to track where the money is going in real time but no matter how you slice it, both the U.S. government and the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget find that about $1.5 trillion has not been spent yet.
$1.5 trillion is not a small chunk of change. The entire federal government spent $4.4 trillion the year before the pandemic began so just the unspent “COVID” money would represent 34 percent of all government spending in a normal year. For example, it could cover the entire cost of Medicare and Medicaid for an entire year with plenty of money left over.
With all of this unspent “COVID” money, a federal deficit that’s triple what it used to be and $28 trillion in national debt, it’s truly unbelievable that Democrats are currently seeking to commit taxpayers to another $4 trillion in new spending this year. They’re being reckless with taxpayers’ money, plain and simple.

It all boils down to the vote in 2022. Please people . . . don’t think your vote doesn’t count. That’s exactly what they ( Democrats , the left, communists, marxists ) want you to think. Besides this senseless spending, we’re seeing wide spread violence in our cities. C.R.T. taught in our public schools, China, Iran, North Korea taking advantage of our weak administration . China threatening our country, and military, if we get involved with ending democracy in Hong Kong, and Taiwan. This white supremacy bullshit , and white privilege that they’re trying to ram down the Americans throats. Small businesses closing because our administration is handing out more money to people to stay home. The list goes on and on. Do you think Biden is calling all the shots? Who is in charge in the White House? It’s scary to say the least . If we don’t take the house back, and gain majority in the Senate in 22, we’re doomed. VOTE IN 2022 !
What he said.
Do not understand why the Justice Department isn’t arresting this criminal Democrats.
All I wanna know is, who’s in charge of the Southern Border? Kamala was given the responsibility just before she put her head in the sand. Anybody realize that 300 million people are being led around by idiots wearing masks. We should unmask Joe immediately!! FOR WHAT HE IS or isn’t??
The leftist democrats are spending the country out of existence by design! I believe that they actually want to bankrupt the country and then welcome their communist Chinese friends in here to take over! I really believe that!!
