Pelosi’s bills will be dead on arrival.

[Brian Griffin]

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

[Spok]

Get a rope.

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.

Pretty sure Dirksen was a Republican.

“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.

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.
