But that didn't stop me from noticing a few things back in Wisconsin, including this gem from the Number 2 GOP in tye Assembly.
The concern is valid. The US economy is on a sugar high from all of the stimulus dollars, but as with all sugar highs, the crash is inevitable. Congress should immediately cancel the proposed payments to families with kids. https://t.co/XcXmJS5PVQ

Not helping families with children doesnt' seem like a winning strategy to ne, but it seem like WisGOPs are so drunk with power and gerrymandering that they think they can get away with it. But it is quite a "tell" from Shrimpy, because he is admitting that 1. The economy is bouncing back strongly right now. 2. Direct payments and other Biden stimulus are the main reason why (along with vaccinations to restore consumer confidence). But this really shouldn't surprise you, because modern Republicans really dont believe in less govt spending as much as they care about DIRECTING WHO GETS THAT SPENDING. They dont care if they give tax dollars to "economic development" projects like the Fox-con, or in resirecting funding so that it goes to schools and roads in their rural districts. They just dont want it to go to THOSE PEOPLE that aren't part of their tribe. And I don't recall Shrimpy Jim Steineke saying anything about a deficit-funded "sugar high" when the $1.9 trillion GOP Tax Scam was handes out to the rich and corporate. A Scam that at best gave crumbs to 95% of us while the well-connected used the money to buy back stock vs actually making something or paying their employees. Funny about that, isn't it? And now Shrimpy and the rest of the WisGOPs are going to try their best to make sure things aren't better for most of us a year from now.
