Pelosi’s bills will be dead on arrival.

Yup just like the pork laden one that got killed yester-———— Oh. It got signed. Seems like someone on the PDJT crew of advisors dropped the ball on this. Guess the old “Propose way more than you’re willing to accept and you’ll usually get exactly what you actually want!” is still in play. And whether you hate or despise her, nanzi is a master at this ploy.

Trump has already said he’ll spend more to get reelected if necessary.

Or, the reality is they know more than you think you know

You’re full of crap.

The Senate bill that was passed by the Senate and the House had nothing to do with Pelosi’s bill.

Not currently happy with PDJT butt................ There is no alternative in any case. I suppose disappointed would be a better choice of words. Guess the “need” to get help rolling out exceeded the need to shut the dems garbage out of any legislation. And since the bill passed the senate with no “NOs” they could potentially have over-ridden a veto so..... Damned if you do and damned it you do.

And it didn’t have any pork in it either.

Will the state governors who forced people out of work by closing their business also force banks and lending institutions to allow a delay, without penalty, of payment on mortgages, CC's, car loans, etc. from the people they put out of work?

My credit union is allowing 90 day delay on some loans, but new loans only, not current ones. WTF?!

To be fair, Republicans are just as quick to partake when given the chance.

Posted earlier by PGR88,

“As Rep. Massie of Kentucky rightly pointed out, if the goal is to “get money into the hands of average Americans” for $2 Trillion, every taxpayer in America could receive $13,000. The Bill authorizing this could be written on half a page of paper

“Yet this “stimulus” bill is giving American taxpayers only $1,200 - less than 10% of that. 90%+ is going elsewhere - and the bill authorizing it is 800 pages (which no one has read, by the way)

“This stimulus, like the last one, is merely a great opportunity for the political class in DC to rob America blind.”

I would add that contrary to the long refuted Keynesian economics hoax that “government spending stimulates the economy”, what in fact government spending does is inflate the economy. Inflation is the relentless hidden tax from government spending - the more government spending the greater the inflation.

TAX AND GOVERNMENT CUTS is what we need. Can we please get back to the Market Economy Free from government interference? As Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations points out - the Free Market Economy is the creator of wealth in and among nations.

Indeed it’s what they do best aside from taxing the hell out of people and businesses.

Signing the inclusion of same-day voter registration will probably relegate him to a one-term president.

My guess is the Democrats know that Joe Biden will not win this Fall. They used this crisis to pad the bill with the next Four years worth of pork. I think they realize this might be their last opportunity for a while.

Pelosi backed down on her bill but some of the non virus stuff ended up in the Senate bill which passed and Trump signed.
