Congress passed another wasteful spending bill that will fuel higher prices.
They did it right before the new Congress was sworn in in January.
The $1.7 trillion gives millions to political pro-Democrat socialist groups.
And the over 4,000 pages—no Senator or Congressman read before the vote—were filled with pork, wasteful spending, and political favors.
Here are 5 things you should know…
1) Millions went to pro-socialist political groups to register and mobilize new voters and politicize Americans.
Your tax money will give millions to pro-socialist groups. Let me give you some examples:
- $1.2 million for LGBTQ and pride centers
- $500,000 for anti-racism training for Rhode Island teachers
- $3 million for an LGBTQ museum in New York
2) Pork: Wasteful taxpayer giveaways
Here are some examples of your taxes going to pet projects:
- $1.5 million to help illegal immigrants get legal status
- $410 million to secure the borders of foreign countries like Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Tunisia, and Oman—but nothing to protect our borders
- $65 million for Pacific Costal Salmon “recovery”
- $3 million for bee-friendly highways
- $3.6 million for Michelle Obama hiking trails in GA.
- $5 billion for low-income Home Energy Assistance
- $200 million for “gender and equity” funding
- $575 million for family planning for areas where population growth threatens endangered species
- $1 million for Zora’s House, a coworking and community space for women and gender-expansive people of color, in Ohio
- $3 million for the American LGBTQ+ Museum in New York City
- $750,000 for LGBT and gender non-conforming housing
- $2 million for a wax museum dedicated to African Americans
- $800,000 for a LGBT center in New York
- $750,000 for the Trans-Latin Coalition in Los Angeles
3) The corrupt FBI get more money
The corrupt FBI gets an additional $569.6 million—A total of over $11 billion. The additional money is to “combat domestic terrorism.” In other words, to continue to censor, bully, and arrest MAGA supporters, Christians, Conservatives, Republicans, Libertarians, and anyone else that the government deems a “threat” or who doesn’t agree with the Biden Administration’s agenda or the socialist bureaucrat’s narratives.
All the Democrats voted for this monstrosity- but so did 18 Republican Senators and 9 House Representatives

4) The health bureaucrats get more, not less, money
The health bureaucracy is corrupt, inefficient, and politicized.
But the Natural Institutions of Health got $47.5 billion, and the CDC got $9.2 billion.
5) The 1.7 trillion in new spending will spark more inflation
America’s national debt is over $31 trillion and growing. This government spending is causing record-high inflation, rising interest rates, and destroying the economy.
The Biden Administration’s policies and executive actions will add more than $4.8 trillion to deficit.
The omnibus will cost Americans over $20,000 per household in debt.
