July 27, 2021
Yet again, Democrats are attempting to ram through a massive spending package that balloons the national debt and the left-wing agenda in one fell swoop.
Here’s what you need to know about the horrible education and labor provisions in the Fiscal Year 2022 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act:
Labor Provisions:
➢ Emboldens federal bureaucrats. The bill drastically increases funding for the Department of Labor (DOL) by $2.2 billion, providing $14.7 billion in taxpayer money to help bankroll new and burdensome regulations on business owners.
➢ Assures overzealous government actions against businesses. The bill earmarks $2.1 billion for excessive and punitive DOL enforcement actions targeting businesses and entrepreneurs around the country.
