The Idaho Legislature may not go home for weeks, but already, the session’s prize for blatant hypocrisy has been claimed.
And this year, that distinction goes to the Idaho Freedom Foundation.
Last week, the IFF successfully called for defeating the Idaho Division of Welfare’s annual budget. Included within that budget - and the source of IFF’s ire - was federal coronavirus relief for the state’s struggling child care operators.
The idea behind this aid - contained within the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act signed by former President Donald Trump - was to maintain the infrastructure of child care providers during the pandemic. Much as it propped up the airline industry and colleges and universities, the federal government decided it would be cheaper and less disruptive to keep these businesses alive than to attempt to rebuild them once the economy recovered.
Dear Members of Congress,
We, the undersigned organizations representing millions of Americans nationwide highly concerned by our country’s unsustainable fiscal trajectory, write in support of the Maximizing America’s Prosperity (MAP) Act, to be introduced by Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) and Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.). As we stare down a mounting national debt of over $28 trillion, the MAP Act presents a long-term solution to our ever-worsening spending patterns by implementing a Swiss-style debt brake that would prevent large budget deficits and increased national debt.
Since the introduction of the MAP Act in the 116th Congress, our national debt has increased by more than 25 percent, totaling six trillion dollars higher than the $22 trillion we faced less than two years ago in July of 2019. Similarly, nearly 25 percent of all U.S. debt accumulated since the inception of our country has come since the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
