It just dawned on me.
Ending the wars in the Middle East is the answer to the question "How are we going to pay for the infrastructure bills?"

4. Oh, don't worry, they will do just fine
grifting off the infrastructure money. These leeches come out of the woodwork anytime the government releases large amounts of money.
I have always said if they ever gave out school vouchers to everyone, just imagine what will pop up and call itself a school. Especially now that we have learned how to do school online. |

5. Exactly. The parasites always find a host with lots of cash.
The vultures will descend.
But I think the war scam is very lucrative. Military friends used to talk about the backpacks full of US cash everywhere in Iraq and Afghanistan. |

Protectionism their mainstay since 1939
