We don't need more spending and more debt. We need a tax cut.

Republicans: Their only principle is to have no principles. Their only strategy is preemptive surrender. Their only plan for victory is to tick off their base as much as possible.

Kill this plan; let's aim for a growth-oriented strategy.

Sure, pander to the rich with a tax cut. That’ll get votes.

For 40 years now we have said TAX CUTS without adding the other half. CUT SPENDING.

It’s really beginning to get old.

Tax cuts and spending through the roof don’t go together.

Tax cuts AND slashing spending do.

It’s a naive fantasy land where economic growth could EVER offset the HUGE deficits we are running.

Tax cuts without drastic cuts are silly at this point. Unless you call leaving an even bigger debt for your kids and grandkids a good strategy

The economy was booming under Trump for a while.

So was the deficit.

From what I understand the democrats have inserted every progressive anti American form of garbage into this bill that could ever be. Some of it involves the massive enabling of more vote fraud.

If Trump signs it with all of that in there then I will be very discouraged with him.

Good grief. The taxes are cut enough. Cut departments that are no longer needed. Definitely give another check. That went to the economy which helped unemployment go down in May. Not rocket science.

Trump had better damn well NOT sign this! But he’s scared sh*tless of covid, so my guess is, no matter the amount, Trump will cave and sign it! Hell, Trump would probably sign on to a second complete shutdown of our economy.

Sorry, but this entire covid thing is Trump’s Achilles heel.

It’s an election year, the only rhyme or reason you need.

PPP was never a sound program. All Americans who lost income or are without income due to the idiotic forced shutdown of the economy should have been provided relief, but paying government—or nongovernment—employees full and often exhorbitant wages through this was never justified. Meanwhile the admin and GOP obsess over whether a few minimum wage workers got too much. They should have apent maybe 20% of what they have, but let all out of work Americans sweat equally. Inatead they have massively subsidized the most comfortable and often very wealthy business owners at ridiculous levels.
