The only thing that Obama got shoveled was billions of dollars from taxpayers
into the pockets and bank accounts of democrat politicians and their pals.

Yes indeed, we should run away from anything resembling the useless cr*p that oozed from dumb*ss Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch quota baby and his ignorant **** Speakeress of the Outhouse female butt kisser.
Send all job seekers out to Build The Wall, and make sure it’s part of the Emergency Spending Bill
This stupid a##!
Stephen Moore is sent to us directly from the Tom Donahue, Chamber of Commerce School of Economics and should be held at arm’s length.
And let's not forget the political consequences for when the money runs out. Republicans get hit over the head for cutting programs, just because the law expires.
That's why payroll tax cuts, as proposed by President Trump, are so smart.
When the crisis is past and Trump turns his attention to recovery, we’re going to see a public infrastructure plan like no other. It will put people to work and help them recover from economic losses and it will accelerate the decoupling of our dependency on China in critical areas.
Call it what you will but it will guarantee his re-election and the continuation of MAGA.
To do nothing would guarantee President Biden, or Hillary.
The Democrats are Stuck on Stupid, and they think we are too. They can’t even pass a bill by July that would make a difference much less get it to functioning.. so this is all about PORK and the pockets of their allies for years after this event is history.
The question is, “Are we going to fall for it?”
There are smart ways to deploy stimulus but considering the Democrats, there is zero hope for smart.
The only thing that Obama got shoveled was billions of dollars from taxpayers

We need fast cash across the economy so that we don’t have a wave of personal and business bankruptcies.
Now is NOT the time for infrastructure. How do you do infrastructure projects when people can’t assemble in groups to do the damn things?
It’s also not the time for the payroll tax holiday, which is a slow drip of cash across months and months.
The article understates the increase in debt. The total 2009 stimulus package was $1.2 trillion, of which only $80 billion actually went to infrastructure projects, and like all things placed into the Federal budget, it was never removed and added $9.6 trillion to the national debt. Of all that money, only the $80 billion was a one-time expenditure.
That $1.2 trillion is still in the federal spending plans, since they don’t actual budget any longer, and what programs it has been going towards is anyone’s guess.
The only thing that will get the economy going again is forcing the schools to open back up.
The schools closed, and all the women who have nobody to take care of their kids had to take off work, and then most of the businesses can hardly operate because half of their workforce, who aren’t even sick, just left. The only way to reverse that chain reaction is to undo the first step and force the schools to open again.
Really, this fragility in our economy is a completely foreseeable consequence of feminism. Women decided to compete with men for jobs, but when times get tough, they will abandon those jobs if they need to care for their children, and the whole country is just expected to suffer the consequences of this selfishness.
I drove all around 5 states that summer and saw lots of signs and NO WORK.
Plenty of shovel ready jobs on the streets of San Francisco.
Well, I don’t like the “send” portion of your idea; but I do like the idea of putting people to work building the wall!
So you are on the “Let’s just spread the virus fast, and if people die, they die, but no point in ruining the economy” side of the debate.
To me that is a reasonable approach. The other reasonable approach is to do the absolute maximum to stop the virus, but completely destroy the economy. Either one of those could be logically defended.
We are doing neither one. We’re spreading the disease and ruining the economy both.
How are people going to spend their stimulus dollars to spur the economy if they are locked indoor This is not a 2008 recession where we had structural economic issues from a bubble. It’s a health crisis and we do not need to be dropping money from helicopters right now especially for “shovel ready” projects.
Why do Democrats talk about “shovel-ready jobs” in an age when most of this sort of work is done by bulldozers, backhoes, mechanical loaders and road graders? It’s sort of like their obsession with trains, such as California’s “Bullet Train,” in the age of the Boeing 737.
I wouldn’t call it “selfish” to eant to care for one’s children.
