It allows CNN FOX ABC NBC etc. To use propaganda against US citizens instead of only the truth.
Neither side, Rep or Dem will move to repeal it.

Another issue i have,
Historically, the government relied on tariffs (taxes on imported goods) to pay for the country.
When wars happened, they had to add income taxes to raise extra money quickly.
The government continued to collect these funds after the wars ended.

Wars are always methods for leftists to ratchet toward socialism. In WW2 the UK had to nationalize industries so they could manufacture war making materials. The socialist realized this was their chance. The war economy was the very thing they wanted, so they won the post-war election and kept the industries nationalized.
Socialism is impossible without authoritarianism, and the UK helped prove that by passing a decree a couple of years later making it illegal to change jobs or to take a new job without permission from the government. Also, coal miners, and some others, could not switch jobs - period.

In the early 1970s there were roughly 1,000 food and benefit programs.
Today, it tracks over 2,200 (or more) distinct federal assistance, grant, and loan programs.

President Jimmy Carter signed the Department of Education Organization Act into law on October 17, 1979
The newly formed agency officially opened and began operating a few months later, on May 4, 1980.
The U.S. Department of Education's total enacted budget for the 2026 fiscal year is $79 billion.
Over $68 billion allocated toward student grants, work-study programs, and loans.

The costliest government programs created in the last 50 years are mandatory entitlement programs, led by Medicare (created in 1966), Medicaid (created in 1965), and modern safety nets like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium subsidies and CHIP. Together, federal healthcare programs alone cost about $1.7 trillion annually.

Congressional Budget Office has estimated that federal and state governments spend billions on emergency services for this population.
Illegal aliens
For instance, a report from the House Budget Committee cited costs exceeding $16.2 billion for this mandated service over a multi-year period - for (illegal aliens)
Many states offer their own programs for undocumented—immigrants in addition to federal programs.

Just been asking Grok / AI some stuff.
They better tell AI to quit giving us information that we forgot or didn't know.
