Seniors got shafted. Especially Military, What good is a $200 Medical card? All we have are Co-Pays. Highest about $60. And those cards don’t work on Medicare/Tricare Life. For some it would be used up with 1 Med Order. We get most meds at Base Pharmacy, no charge, Express Scripts set Co-Pays.
For others it wouldn’t pay for a month of Humalog Flexpen.
We hurt most at Grocery store. Meat is overpriced, TP, Dog Food, many items not in store.
I sympathize and I’m feeling it too with my grocery bill and so on. I’m not a huge fan of the Federal government raining down helicopter dollars on everyone, but some targeted stimulus and tax cuts can be a good idea in specific circumstances.
My main point was about President Trump managing to take an issue where the Democrats had a clear advantage and turn the whole thing against them. They put out that enormous $3,400,000,000,000.00 (yes that’s the actual number) relief bill that was an absolute Christmas tree of Democrat policies mixed with actual aid. President Trump and the GOP came back with a much smaller, more targeted package focused more on getting money into the hands of Americans so they can spend it and move the economy forward. Pelosi wanted her whole $3.4 Trillion Christmas tree and refused to budge because she thought she had the upper hand.
Except now there was a proposal in hand for money going out to people, which the Democrats have been blocking. So now her own members are asking to break the stalemate and go with President Trump’s proposal and she’s telling them no. That’s not going to fly with people who need the money. That’s voters. The HEROES bill filed back in May was going to help the Dems with those voters. Now the whole issue has been flipped and it’s hurting them.
