The Democratic Party: A Robbery in Progress


21 May 2020 ~~ By J.B. Shurk
I want to report a robbery in progress. Be on the lookout for the governors of California, Illinois, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. They are attempting to steal from the federal treasury in order to make up for decades of unfunded liabilities. Known associates include Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. They should be considered manipulative and dangerous and likely to stab innocent Americans from behind. Caution is advised.
I only partially jest. Right now, most Americans think the biggest story in the country is a virus from Wuhan, China that has shut down their places of business and forced their families into house arrest. That's only part of the story. There's another part being actively gamed out by shady political operatives in the smoke-filled back rooms of every "dark blue" statehouse, city hall, and precinct captain pool hall around the country: how they can turn this once-in-multiple-generations "black swan" economic catastrophe into a goldmine that gets them out of hock with their many creditors. The Democratic Party is attempting to cash in on the nation's current pandemic fears so that they may finally dig themselves out from the mountains of debt they've created through vote-buying schemes and interest group bribes that have kept them in continuous power of their state and city governments while creating the most financially insolvent treasuries in the nation.
The truth is that our present pandemic nightmare has set in motion an event that has been fermenting for over fifty years. Corrupt Democrat politicos have been fraudulently using the tax-and-spend powers of their offices to keep their natural constituencies financially beholden to their electoral success for generations and generations with no immediate plan for solving their growing financial albatross except the ephemeral hope that one day, somehow, they'd be able to offload the cost of all that graft and corruption onto the federal government's tab for the national taxpayers from faraway states to pay.
~~Snip~~
Along the way, those same "ballot-harvesters" let each generation in on a dirty little secret: the outrageously generous pension plans and health benefits and other financial perks they handed out over the years had grown so big that they could never be paid down without the federal government's help.
~~Snip~~
There is simply no way the Democrats can afford to let this crisis go to waste. It has been built into the pricing of their political calculus for too many years. They may never have another chance to so masterfully settle all their accounts in one fell swoop. So when Senator McConnell publicly suggested a couple weeks back that states in financial distress should consider utilizing the nation's bankruptcy laws, Senator Schumer's fire-and-brimstone reaction came not from some deep legislative wariness that doing so might open up a Pandora's box of unintended consequences for the United States, but rather from an understanding that the creditworthiness of blue states would be so effectively destroyed that their tradition of using the treasury as a piggy bank for buying votes would come to a sudden and unavoidable end.
~~Snip~~
In plain sight and in broad daylight, the Democratic Party is right now extorting the president and attempting to rob the country blind. Except quite a few Americans refuse to look the other way and become their accomplices. Let's not swap temporary peace today for the Democrats' promise to make future generations their new economic hostages down the road. The blue state model of graft and political cronyism must finally die.


Comment:
The simple solution is to break the cycle of misappropriation of taxpayer dollars by making collective bargaining by government (public) employees illegal again. As for the existing pension and benefit debt, it should be reduced to no more than the average retirement and benefits earned by taxpayers.
With regards to the legions of government workers that would have their pensions eliminated and the jobs lost. The fact is that these workers hitched themselves to the breast of government years ago and have been drinking from it for years. It is time to wean them from that largess.
States like California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania are like a spouse addicted to, shopping or gambling. In over their heads, they beg their spouses to pay off their debts, promising to never over drink or spend again. Then they go out and and repeat their bad behavior again.
Cut them off and tell 'em.
Bailing them out is over and the time for " Hard Love" they've got to live on what they have. Unless they can restructure those states will be in the exact same condition for a few years. Meanwhile they can increase their income by allowing more manufacturing and start ups of small businesses within their states.

If the Republicans want to withhold money from states; they can do that. Perhaps we can do the same when SC, GA, FL, MS, AL, LA, TX are hit with hurricanes in the future. They allow people to build right on the coast.
