I've been hearing a lot more about inflation concerns and how inflation would benefit those with a lot of debt. Of course, that benefit would depend on whether their earnings would match the rate of inflation, which means it would really only benefit those with flexible revenue streams and not those with fixed yearly incomes, so this really only leaves those who have become incredibly wealthy through debt and large businesses.
Democrats are really trying to spend as much money as they can it seems with more and more trillion dollar plans on top of the yearly budget, so it seems increasingly likely that this plan not only tries to appeal to those easily persuaded by freebies, but is also intentionally destroying the economy in the interest of the wealthy elites, which most likely includes many of the politicians currently in office, so that they can pay off the exorbitant amounts of debt that they have used to get that wealth.
It's just astounding how reckless the silent generation/boomers have been in destroying everything their predecessors built. They will never own up to their mistakes and instead would rather take the whole system down to stay afloat for 5 minutes longer than the rest of us.
The point is to secure public support so that they minimize the backlash when they eliminate the filibuster, expand the SCOTUS, and create 2-4 secure Democrat Senate seats through statehood. By the time the monetary crisis really sets in, they're gambling that they will have permanently secured power. It's a sacrifice they're willing to make.
I think it will end poorly for them.
They think they will be dead by the time their plans backfire... And sadly they are probably right...
Is there any way to stop them from expending the SCOTUS?
A lot depends on Manchin. If the current media blitz pressures him to cave, the sky is the limit for Dems.
