Why should US taxpayers bail out blue state pensions?
Yup. There are tons of people with California pensions in the six-figures, many more than $200,000. Why should middle-class workers earning $50,000 in other states have to contribute toward THAT??
And sending it to countries overseas in Omni bus bills like gender programs in Pakistan. Both graham and McDonnell praised it.
Remember Senator Paul wanted all spending to be in the Omnibus as per the 9/11 Heroes bill in 2019. They did it with the December Covid relief package and the idiot votes no. Why should Congress cater to that nit-wit and hypocrite
It isn't just blue states but also red states. Why do you lie about this? When will you stop lying?
Well the states with the most pension underfunding are Illinois and New Jersey. I'm sure most of the worse offenders are states run by Democrats. I may be wrong though.

Anyone, ANYONE, who tries to defend passing this stupid ripoff garbage nonsense needs a swift kick in the ass. You are NOT American. You are an idiot.
This country sucks.
Many non-American, and I would go so far as to say anti-American, idiots hanging out.
WASHINGTON – Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., forced the Senate to begin reading all 628 pages of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion COVID bill aloud on the Senate floor Thursday, further delaying a vote on the legislation Democrats hope to make law by next week.
Johnson said his tactic was about “educating” the American public on what was in the $1.9 trillion package, which he has derided as full of provisions unrelated to COVID relief. The entire process could take at least 10 hours.
This isn't about educating people. Who in their right mind would stay up and hear it all. Just a stall tactic like Cruz with Green Eggs and Ham.

..you dont even know? Maybe you should...I dunno. Look.
And then compare it against the states GDP so you can determine if thats someone with 1 trillion of GDP, and 100 million in debt, or a state with 5 bucks thats 100 million in debt.
Actually heres a good comparison on the last year of change. Looks like flyover country is having some issues there. Overall I would say everyone needs this help.
