FEDS: Don’t forget funding strings attached

Regarding Geri Douglas’ letter published Feb. 25 “Biden — Gratitude for Essential Funding.” $1.9 trillion — wow.

I invited people to read the act’s components which are spelled out pretty well on Wikipedia. Hundreds, if not thousands of giveaways for just about everything and everyone. You ever wonder why everything under the sun costs so much? The government pumping huge amounts of money into the economy. 

Sure, nice to get some money for the jail, etc., but it’s not free just because it came from the feds. I applaud those leaders who chose not to rubber stamp every item in this bill.

And let’s not get into the hundreds of billions spend on the Inflation Reduction Act (all green new deal stuff) the following year.
