The Big COVID Stimulus Lie
By Brian Liberty - March 3, 2021
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."
With regard to the current COVID Stimulus Package, a big lie talking point has been repeated ad nauseam, on nearly every media outlet. The following headline sums it up nicely: "Broad, Bipartisan Support for $1.9 Trillion Stimulus Package Persists as Senate Gears Up to Tackle Bill."
It doesn't matter whether it is MSNBC or Fox News, popular bipartisan support is claimed and assumed for the $1.9 trillion package. This is the big lie.
It can be taken for granted that polls and surveys can be deceptive. It's all in how the questions are asked. It's probably safe to assume that the details of the massive spending bill known as the COVID stimulus package were not part of any poll.
How many people would support a massive bill compromised mostly of pork for the most connected government cronies?
The progressive left claims that they are in opposition to the elite mega-wealthy of the nation. Yet that is exactly who this package benefits. Additionally, the left claims that it represents the poor and downtrodden, yet this bill destroys the wages of the poorest working American via inflation. A $15 minimum wage is meaningless when a loaf of bread soars to $20. How could the left support this package?
And then there is the supposedly conservative right. They have claimed to be fiscally responsible, and support smaller government, yet this package creates big government, and is the most irresponsible spending seen since the last time an incompetent socialist leader destroyed the economy of their own nation. How could the right support this package?
So who actually supports this package? It is the elite establishment and connected cronies of Nancy Pelosi who feed at this pork trough. And this also explains the media's nearly unanimous regurgitation of this big lie.
No average American should support this kleptocratic spending package. But if a deceptive poll question is properly crafted, then it can be used for the big lie. No doubt the polls say something to the effect that the COVID relief package gives money to the small people hurt by the Coronavirus shutdowns. But some reports reveal that the package is only around 9% COVID relief, the rest being special interest pork.
A little bit of bribe money for the masses may be popular in and of itself, but considering how little money actually goes to the average person, this is just another big lie.
