Mass Federalization: How Washington is Bailing Out Failed States, Decapitating Competitive Ones and Ending America As You Knew It – Wirepoints

By: Mark Glennon* 

An astonishingly sweeping, radical movement to level cities and states is underway, propping up the failures and pounding down those that have been successful. Most everything is being federalized. The role of cities and states as we have known them as laboratories of democracy is being eviscerated. It’s being financed by both the United States Treasury and the Federal Reserve bank, which are now joined at the hip in fiscal profligacy.

Much of it is proceeding under the false labels of pandemic relief and fiscal stimulus. It’s happening at such a rapid pace that the paper of record for government overreach, The Washington Post, fears that “the sheer volume of new programs threatens to swamp federal agencies.”

It’s a fundamental and historic remake of America, though its impact hasn’t yet come close to sinking in. Some of the numbers that follow seem beyond belief, but they are real. If claiming that pending legislation will destroy America as you know it seems like exaggeration, read on to see what its supporters say, because it’s their commentary that is most revealing.

The plan to federalize government is already moving and has three parts:

  • Flood every unit of local government with federal cash, irrespective of need, while prohibiting tax cuts, thereby bailing out failing states and cities.
  • Make that flood of federal money made regular and permanent.
  • Annul or override state laws that make certain states competitive, thereby eliminating their competitive advantages, and federalize elections to make it all permanent.

Let’s go through each.

Flood every unit of local government with federal cash, irrespective of need, while prohibiting tax cuts, thereby bailing out failing states and cities:

Start with the recently signed ARP, the American Rescue Plan. Its scope is under-reported and the public is unaware. Having been routinely styled as coronavirus relief or economic stimulus, it’s perhaps the most blatant bait-and-switch in American history.

Wages and salaries during for the first ten months of the pandemic dropped by only 3.4% from the same period in the red-hot economy we had before then, or $276 billion in lost wages. That’s from former U.S. Director of the Office of Management and Budget David Stockman. Same for the hit to Gross Domestic Product, which also dropped by the same percentage, a reduction of about $775 billion.

But ARP together with federal money already delivered is about $6 trillion! Even if you want to count everything, the bailout total is 7.7x the size of the problem, wrote Stockman.

Don’t think that might ease your state and local tax burden. The downpour of cash on cities and states, most of which don’t need it, is all tied to a provision in ARP that bans tax cuts. It’s a mandate for statism – big government – whether states with small government philosophies like it or not.

“Thou shalt be statists and big spenders,” that’s what ARP might as well say as a direct federal mandate.

Most of ARP commentary about cities and states has wrongly focused only on the $350 billion that will go directly to them. That’s a small part and entirely misses the bigger picture.

Illinois is an example. Its share of that $350 billion is $13.2 billion. But what’s the true amount that will come to Illinois under ARP?

Start with over $25 billion Illinois Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth proudly announced in a press release. Aside from the $13.2 billion for state and local governments, there’s $5 billion for Illinois K-12 schools, $1.3 billion for higher education, $1.3 billion for child care, $1.5 billion for Chicago area transit agencies, $1.5 billion for Illinois public health, and much more. It goes beyond what even Durbin and Duckworth described.

None of that includes the the cash handouts coming in the mail soon, which are still more costly. Payments up to $1,400 for adults and any dependent are on the way, subject only to very high income limits. Only households with earnings of more than $80,000 for single filers, $120,000 for head of households and $160,000 for married filing jointly will not receive any payment.

Add it all up and you have more spending on “COVID relief” than America spent to win World War II, inflation adjusted.

And it’s not a one-year effort.

Make the flood of federal money regular and permanent.

Most of the flood of federal cash, supporters expect, will continue permanently. Look at what the left’s pundits say:

For now, these changes to the [child tax credit] are set to expire after a single year. But Democratic leaders intend to make the program permanent. (The apparent strategic logic of making it temporary goes like this: Making the child allowance permanent in the relief bill would have pushed its price tag above $2 trillion, thereby endangering moderate support. But once moderates are faced with a choice between voting for an expensive extension of the policy and allowing every family in America to simultaneously see their disposable income shrink right before a midterm election, they will rally behind “big government.”) The Democrats’ fiscal philosophy is now apparently “There is nothing to fear but fear of deficits itself.”

  • The New York Times’ David Brooks:

Black farmers will receive over $4 billion in what looks like a step toward reparations. There’s a huge expansion of health insurance subsidies. Many of these changes, like the child tax credit, may well become permanent. This moment is like 1981, the dawn of the Reagan Revolution, except in reverse. It’s not just that government is heading in a new direction, it’s that the whole paradigm of the role of government in American life is shifting.

  • “It is a baby step toward universal basic income, or guaranteed income,” says the Brookings Institute. “The significance of this moment in U.S. social policy is hard to overstate.”
  • Politico says that “a radical change in the social fabric of the United States has become a reality and with it, an opportunity for the Democratic Party no one could have imagined 50 days ago.”
  • Prospect is most direct. “Federalize it, Joe Biden,” says its headline. “Education too. Federalizing social programs would be a huge step toward expanding the welfare state and ending poverty permanently. If passage of further legislative packages proves even more difficult, as Republican opposition increases and the Senate’s Democratic moderates dig in their heels, it would be an easy step to protect the gains of the ARP and secure Biden’s presidential legacy from the get-go.”

Yup, K-12 education, higher education, welfare programs, reparations and more it’s all to be federalized and made permanent, subject to federal rules. Those changes include ending work requirements for welfare that were added by the Clinton Administration.

Based only on the things Democrats have said they want to make permanent, the total cost of ARP would, over ten years, reach $4.1 trillion with interest, according to the Committee for a Responsible Budget.

Bailing out public pensions would add more to the bill, and that’s in the cards, too. ARP includes $86 billion to rescue private sector multi-employer retirement funds with no demands for reform and, as a Wall Street Journal editorial put it, “This is the first of many such air-drops to come.”

Annul or override state laws that make certain states competitive, thereby eliminating their competitive advantages, and federalize elections to make it all permanent.

Here is where the ban on tax cuts comes in. Keep taxing and spending as you have been – that’s the universal mandate under ARP – then also spend the cash the federal government is dropping like manna from heaven. Today’s well-run states will thereby loose much of their competitive advantage.

Additional pending federal legislation specifically aims to deprive thriving states of what has given them comparatively advantage.

First, there’s the what the Wall Street Journal called the most radical pro-union labor bill since the 1935, which would erase right-to-work laws in 27 states.

A federal gun control law has already passed the House.

Finally, and most importantly, there’s perhaps the most pernicious bill proposed in modern history: H.R. 1, the “For the People Act.”

It would strip state governments and local election boards of power to run our elections, federalizing the election process. It would mandate same-day and automatic voter registration, and encourage vote trafficking of absentee ballots. It would be the end of voter ID laws and restrict efforts to verify voter registration lists. It would create a public funding program for candidates running for Congress. It would put new regulations on political speech and activity, by activists, candidates, civic groups, corporations and nonprofit organizations. Membership in organizations the left doesn’t like would be disclosed, leading to harassment and intimidation.

***********************

The average American is no doubt unaware of how extreme all of this is, and how quickly it is moving. Polls say support for ARP is very high, probably because people are aware of little more than the checks now on their way to them. They’ve been bribed with their own money, never considering that they and their children will have to repay most of it.

Pouring gasoline on that fire is the Federal Reserve Bank, the U.S. Treasury’s partner in profligacy. It will create out of thin air some, but not all, of the funds needed to federalize so much, though the long-term consequences are unknown. They’ve embarked on the biggest monetary experiment in American history.

Henry Kaufman is a venerable voice from the past on fiscal and monetary issues. He concludes a soon-to-be released book with this, as reported by Barron’s:

With the federal government and the Fed firmly joined at the hip, the transformation of capitalism into statism is gaining momentum, perhaps irreversibly. Not only is this a great departure from the vision of America’s founders, I suspect it is also not the kind of economic system most Americans living today want to leave for future generations.

How can that switch to statism be happening with so little public attention?

Conservatives and Republicans in Congress bear part of the blame. They haven’t been getting dire warnings out as aggressively as they should. They also bear partial blame for earlier relief measures, parts of which were overbroad, poorly targeted and riddled with fraud, which formed part of the federalization. Politico is right when it said “Republicans…never bothered to train the full fury of their fire at a series of provisions that took the nation several steps down the road to social democracy.”

If they have any excuse, maybe it’s because they have been caught flat-footed. Who could have thought that anything so extreme could be attempted by leftists who hold so thin a majority in Congress?

We are stunned, too. At Wirepoints, we’ve long heard second-hand that many Illinois politicians who ignore the state’s pension crisis say, in private, that they expected the problem to be eventually federalized – that was the term we heard they used. We knew that attempt was coming but we never suspected that a plan so drastic, to federalize so much, would ever be considered.

Make no mistake about the historical gravity of what is taking place. States as the laboratories of democracy are being shut down and replaced with a national juggernaut more overbearing than most Americans have ever imagined.

It was Justice Louis D. Brandeis in 1932 who famously described the virtue of our system. “It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous state may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country,” he wrote. “To stay experimentation in things social and economic is a grave responsibility. Denial of the right to experiment may be fraught with serious consequences to the nation.”

Destruction of that right is precisely what is happening.

Wake up, America. At all cost, this movement must be stopped and, insofar as it has already succeeded, it must be reversed.

If not peaceful separation, secession will be the only way out. Unless you want to move out of the country, which is not a bad idea.

You guys can pretend that the trannies and degenerates elevated by the corrupt government and corporate link aren’t a problem.

Exactly right. They don’t pay capital gains on it until they sell, to boot. Meanwhile, inflation destroys the middle class and savers.

“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”

THE 16TH AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF THE “DESPICABLE UNION” IS THE PROBLEM.

Without the 16th Amendment the federal union might be marginally sustainable, with it our choices are but two. The first: Abolish the 16th Amendment. The second: Abolish the despicable union which created it.

Before income taxes the powers of governments were limited by a lack of financial resources. After their imposition governments gained virtually unlimited powers.

Sorry to burst your bubble but most homelessness is not from poverty or joblessness but from mental illness, drug addiction or alcoholism.

Instead they prefer a ‘better’ life begging for booze and drug money while standing in traffic. Giving them any money makes you feel better but simply extends their grifting.

What they don’t understand is that the playing field was already level- all states must play by the rules of the US Constitution.

What was different was the various strategies used to play. Some strategies are better than others. That does not mean the playing field isn’t level. But since progressive strategies don’t work, they whine that the field is not level.

Trump deserves blame too, as well as McConnell. Anyone with an ounce of political acumen (who actually cared about the country) should’ve had a laserlike focus on the GOP winning the Georgia runoffs. Attacking the integrity of the GA election, knowing he couldn’t win even if he did win GA (what about WI? AZ? No signs of fraud there either?) and coming out for $2K refunds at the 11th hour, being opposed by McConnell, despite having months previously to negotiate this, lost it. Which puts us in the situation we’re in. Thanks, Trump and GOP.

Home, work, grocery store, theater, sporting event, friends and etc. – they do not care who is spending tax dollars or, in this case, borrowed fiat currency and they absolutely have no idea what is going on anywhere in the world. If you want to get their attention take away their food, TV, internet and ability to spend because each of those is a part of their comfort circle. What you will get is a whiner who… Read more »

Jack: The reason ppl dont know whats going on is that the main media outlets long ago abdicated their responsibility to be the watchdogs of truth and govt accountability. When was the last time the NYT ran a feature story on the irresponsible city and state govt behavior , causing meltdowns in so many facets of life, right in their backyard? Never.

‘need to be more educated’ ? Most get their ‘education’ from the media, which lies like a cheap rug.
A few associates of mine swear that Biden is great, and are unaware of Hunter.

The radicals understand that they must level the states to have any chance at realizing their dream. They cannot allow a West Germany/East Germany situation. They will not allow Florida and Texas to exist as a demonstration of the failure of their policies.

That is why it is futile to believe that simply leaving Illinois will fix your problems.

Hey Jude your last line is so true I ponder about leaving and getting out of this hell hole of a state, I could sit hear and name endless reasons, but like my father always told me the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Other states are going or will be going thru tuff times like Illinois and no moving may or may not fix your problems. You can’t simply keep running from problems you have to make the best of things and outsmart these politicians, play them at there own game.

That’s a classic example of Illinois Ignorance.
The grass is greener on the other side.
Since you have never left Illinois you have no idea.

I have family in Florida and visit regularly. The grass is not greener. They have a saying here, “you get half your pay in sunshine”.

I’d like to say this is shocking, but honestly, it’s not. This is just Democrats living up to their persona. Number one, they are control freaks. Number two, they don’t like competition against their ideas. They delude themselves into thinking that “if only everyone did what we know is best, then it would work.” It’s why they insist that “socialism will work this time, mainly because WE know how to do it properly.” Number three, very few of them have actually studied economics, and do not realize the long-term consequences of printing and helicoptering this amount of money onto the… Read more »

You do understand that Democrats have been caught in a trap too, just with different cheese that they don’t yet understand

Many are unaware that the wealthiest of the world own their party for the benefit of the wealthiest, who want to destroy the progressives too

Not sure why anyone is surprised by any of this. Biden obviously knows his health is going downhill quick and only has a very limited time remaining, which means he only cares about his historical legacy and does not need to worry about living through his policies. The silver lining here is that this will eventually blow up in their face and the democratic party will split into 2 or 3 factions that will eat each other alive.

It’s very difficult to believe any mainstream media (NPR, newspapers, tv, radio).

This is the best analysis of recent federal legislation I have seen to date. Federalization is in fact the central theme in what is happening.

After you read the Washington Post article read the comments posted. The people want socialism.

The people who read the Washington Post want socialism, that is clear. Are there enough of us who oppose it to win the battle? I hope so, but they have created an environment where people are afraid to say what they really think.

I am tempted to believe that the American people will be outraged, and quickly put a stop to this attempt to impose socialism at the mid-term elections. Radicals have been pushing this program for decades, but incrementally and somewhat “under the radar”. Why have they become so brazen and willing to go for broke? They must not fear that it will all be undone in two years at the midterm. That is the purpose of HR1. Or else they believe that Americans will sell their souls for the proverbial “thirty pieces of silver” AKA stimulus checks. If we are ever… Read more »

Normally people would say unconstitutional legislation would be taken to the SCOTUS and the Constitution upheld. But with John Robert’s, perhaps the biggest ‘Karen’ in D.C., I have my doubts. No one should be surprised after the fake election and refusals to even have an impartial hearing. State Governors and Legislatures will need to fight back. Many states did not take the ‘Obamacare’ money because of the strings, and then Republicans worked to remove the strings. Same with the fraudulently obtained ‘Covid stimulus’. Illinois is desperate for a bailout, so they will do anything. The rest of the country, particularly… Read more »

Chicago area loses population for third year in a row, third-worst loss among big metros – Wirepoints

The latest 2023 Census population estimates show migration and population changes have largely returned to their pre-pandemic patterns across the country. Metro Chicago’s loss of 16,600 people is the 3rd-highest decline among the nation’s metropolitan areas. Only the Los Angeles area (down 71,000) and the New York City area (down 65,000) lost more people than Chicagoland.
