"H.R. 6666: A Devil Of A Bill?"

So is all the hoopla in regards to H.R. 6666 warranted?

What's that, you ask? H.R.6666-COVID-19 Testing, Reaching, And Contacting Everyone (TRACE) Act.  A bill submitted (but not yet passed) in Congress on May 1st by U.S. House Rep. Bobby Rush (D).

H.R. 6666 (aka The TRACE Act) in a nutshell: Authorizes $100,000,000,000.00 (100 billion) per year as needed in grant money to be distributed where needed to "test for COVID-19, to trace and monitor  the contacts of infected individuals, and to support the quarantine of contacts through mobile health units; and as necessary, at individuals' residences, and for other purposes."

A great way to stop or at least slow down the spread of coronavirus, wouldn't you say?

Perhaps. Except this is already being done by the CDC. H.R.6666 increases the scope, depth, and intrusiveness of these investigations by one huge and massive leap. Not to mention $100 billion is a staggering amount for what they claim they want to accomplish.

As you might imagine, the conspiracy theorists are having a field day with this bill. (H.R. 6666-seriously? But before jumping to conclusions, each bill is assigned a number in the order in which they are introduced. So '6666' was just the next in the sequence, the luck (or the lack) of the draw. And while some of the interpretations of this bill are bordering on hysterical, the truth is, H.R. 6666 is extremely poorly defined.

For instance, it places no real constraints on exactly how intrusive these tracers are allowed to get. This bill has no limits or accountability built into it. Nor does it necessarily end with the virus. H.R. 6666 has no end date.

Could it be used to hunt down and forcibly remove people from their homes as some have speculated? The bill doesn't explicitly prohibit this.

Would those who test positive be denied access, entry or forced into lock down even though they are asymptomatic? And what exactly does "and for other purposes" mean? H.R. 6666 doesn't say. It doesn't say asymptomatic people will be forced into lock down, but it doesn't say they won't either, and that is the problem with H.R. 6666. It's a virtual blank check in the hands of government investigators in regards to civil liberties. Without reasonable constraints written into the bill--there are no constraints. Now that's disturbing.

A wise man once said: "So much money directed at such a vague objective without proper direction and oversight is just begging for trouble." -- George Miller, Citizens Journal

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness..." (ISAIAH 5:20)
