I’m trying to understand the logic here…
American taxpayers already absorbed an estimated $2.7 BILLION in costs connected to January 6th, including security response, investigations, prosecutions, National Guard deployment, Capitol repairs, and long-term security upgrades.
Now there’s discussion about setting aside another $1.8 BILLION for people “affected” by the consequences of January 6th investigations and prosecutions.
But here’s the question many Americans are asking:
If someone participated in the actions that triggered those costs in the first place, why would taxpayers compensate them afterward?
In most areas of life, people who contribute to damages or public costs are generally expected to bear responsibility, not receive reimbursement from the public that paid the bill.
This isn’t about politics. It’s about consistency, accountability, and respect for taxpayer dollars.
Maybe before Washington creates new compensation funds, it should focus on reimbursing the American taxpayers who already paid for the consequences.

If someone was “affected” by Jan. 6 because they participated in Jan. 6, why would taxpayers owe them money?
Taxpayers already paid billions for the aftermath.
Before any participant gets compensated, they should first repay the public cost they helped create.
They don’t get paid first.
They owe first.
@MbarkCherguia Stupidity cannot continue to reign. Disabling an escalator can be dangerous and could cause injury. The consequences for making a knowing decision to disable a piece of moving equipment, there should be a consequence that deters similar behaviors in the future.
@Raindropsmedia1 You have two options. The first is abide by the uniform policy. The second, if you don't abide by the policy that you agreed to when you were hired, feel free to turn your uniform in and go home. Your employment will end on option 2.
