Texas rep introduces bill to bar federal bailouts of states that implement reparations

FIRST ON FOX: A Texas GOP House member introduced a bill to block federal bailouts for states or municipalities that implement reparations programs.

Texas Republican Rep. Brian Babin introduced the No Bailouts for Reparations Act last week, which would prohibit federal bailouts or financial assistance from going to states or municipalities operating programs giving reparations for slavery.

"American taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay for radical, race-based ‘reparation’ payments to please the woke Left," Babin told Fox News Digital.

"My bill ensures that government entities enacting reparation laws based on race, ethnicity, national origin, or slavery cannot receive federal bailouts," the Texas Republican continued.

According to Babin’s bill, the U.S. government, "including the Federal Reserve System and independent agencies, may not provide any loan, grant, or other form of financial assistance to the government of any State or political subdivision thereof, or any agency or instrumentality of such a State or political subdivision, that enacts into law any program providing reparations on the basis of slavery; or race, ethnicity, national origin, or historical practices related thereto."

The bill also "shall only apply to the unit of government so enacting a reparations program."

Backing the bill are 13 of Babin’s GOP colleagues, including fellow Texas Reps. Troy Nehls and Ronny Jackson, Rep. Burgess Owens of Utah, and Rep. Scott Franklin of Florida.

By the way, for those of you limp wristed left wingers wanting to play the race card in this instance, HERE is the sponsor of that bill.

 

Good idea. If a state is going to be racist and stupid, it doesn't deserve to be bailed out.

 

HEAR THAT, CALIF@GULA?
