How the Left Has Used COVID-19 to Bankrupt the United States

Without COVID-19, President Joe Biden would never have been elected, of course.

COVID-19 is now the gateway to the Left's utopian agenda of multitrillion-dollar climate policies, hyperregulation of the economy, the rebirth of the welfare state, and a radical redistribution of income.

COVID-19 made the rebirth of big government possible.

Instead, the Left has leveraged COVID-19 fears to call for a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill on top of the $1.9 trillion spent in March on welfare programs and now $4.1 trillion in public works programs; labor union protections; Green New Deal subsidies; Medicare and Medicaid and food stamps expansions; and bailouts of Amtrak, urban transit, and schools.

COVID-19 has somehow given a new license to even the nuttiest leftist ideas.

COVID-19 has unleashed Modern Monetary Theory, meaning that the federal government apparently has a no-limit credit card.

COVID-19 is all but over, and the toll has been awful.
