In the middle of the night (again)

"Next up - the huge bill, now rebranded as Biden's 'Build, Back Better' pile of goo. Even though over a dozen House Republicans voted for the Infrastructure Bill, we are hoping against hope that none of them get weak knees and round heels on this one."

It is Saturday morning. A good time to get in the "way back machine", and and take a journey into the past. November 7, 2009. ObamaCare passed the House with some trickery of Ms. Nancy. Nobody really knew what was in the bill, as the puts and takes continued right up until the vote. Remember the famous line? "We need to pass the bill so we know what is in it?" Blah, blah, blah. Once the Senate passed the House version (thank you Al Franken), Obama signed it early in 2010, and we were stuck with ObamaCare forever.

Then there was Obama's version of the infrastructure bill. His famous (now infamous) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, better known as the "Stimulus Bill". Another huge bill passed in the middle of the night. This bill, which was sold as a "shovel ready" work bill, did nothing. It was a bloated pile of special interest goo. Even Obama admitted in later years, "I guess some of the shovel ready projects were not ready for the shovel." Very funny Barry. That bill, plus ObamaCare, started the big spending spree of your Administration.

Last night, the Biden version of an expensive boondoggle passed the House. Did I say it passed in the middle of the night? It had already passed the Senate, so it is ready for Slo Joe to sign. What is it? The long awaited "Infrastructure Bill". Okay - so there is not much infrastructure in it - so what? The point is, it gave Brandon a huge win. Win? Why? For the symbolism. Most who have been paying attention, know this bill is really the Green New Deal bill, all dressed up, to look like infrastructure.

I said this when the American Recover and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed. I will say it again now. The most critical piece of infrastructure we have, which is in desperate need of updating - is our power grid. Just yesterday, a headline flashed across one of my news feeds. Jenifer Granholm, our "energy guru", admitted something shocking on a news show the other day. She said hackers, are now able to take down our frail electric grid. What does that mean? While we get all green and cuddly with ourselves, basking in the afterglow of the Infrastructure Bill, we continue to live on the edge of disaster.

Next up - the huge bill, now rebranded as Biden's Build, Back Better pile of goo. Even though over a dozen House Republicans voted for the Infrastructure Bill, we are hoping against hope that none of them get weak knees and round heels on this one. And the Senate is critical. ALL Republicans must vote "no", as well as Manchin and Sinema. If somehow that bill passes, we are all cooked. Not cooked by the climate - cooked by drowning in a sea of debt. Debt which bought us NOTHING.
