Ben Shapiro: Relief checks are not necessary because the pandemic is over -- WAP is still Myth.

.


BEN SHAPIRO (HOST): OK, this is very consequential legislation. It sets up brand new entitlement programs that quote, unquote only last a year but are designed to last far longer.

It creates, essentially, incentives, the old welfare incentives, to have kids out of wedlock because, again, you get paid by the government to have kids. Not only do you get paid by the government to have kids, there are no restrictions with regard to having a job or not having a job. There are no work requirements. There's nothing that encourages marriage anywhere in there. Not only that, again, this is a giant bailout for states that have blown out their own pocketbooks. It is a bonanza used car sales lemon. That's all this thing is. Here's Nancy Pelosi calling it the most consequential legislation of our lifetime.

...

SHAPIRO: By the way, help should've been on the way in, I don't know, August. OK, the reality is there were COVID relief packages passed all the way up -- in a bipartisan fashion during the Trump administration.

This thing was passed along pure party lines. Why? Because the pandemic is basically over, ok? The pandemic is done. Ok, now we're spending $1.9 trillion, more money than has ever been seen by God or man, spending money that has not yet been created, we are spending all of that money to do what? To do what? We are now actively encouraging people not to go back to work. We are providing enhanced unemployment incentives that go all of the way to September. September. Are you insane? September?


More stoopid at the jump:

Also, I'm not letting this one die, because it's classic Ben Shapiro.

that this is going to lead to a Summer of fun and partying and lack of motivation to find a job.

BTW, is there anything that Shapiro doesn't get his shorts in a bunch over?
He's a crabby old man already, and he's, like, 18 years old!
