It is extremely important. I vote almost exclusively GOP. We have to determine if we're about principle, people, or power. It appears to me that the party is only about power and not principle or the people. The vote on this stimulus package will answer that question.
You absolutely nailed it. Right wingers in GopherHole (we all know who they are) have been whining for years about what they view as the unwarranted hatred of the Trumpster by the political left in America. In doing so, they completely ignore the fact that the GOP spent Obama's entire time in office not only exhibiting their extreme hatred of him, but also actively doing anything they could think of to obstruct his administration.
The GOP has ever been about the people?? I find that hard to believe
I think they genuinely feared that he would be the greatest president in the modern age, and ruin the GOP for decades. At the time, all they thought they'd be able to nominate were more McCain's and Romney's.
Hope Dem senators tar and feather the GOP on floor debate for this hypocrisy, and that is widely circulated on news media.
I am hearing all sorts of good and bad rumors about what is being proposed. I am with you. Short term relief that is delivered fast to the people and businesses affected. No reason for a mass money grab.
I’ll PM u my address.
This is exactly right. I get the thought on the why it it’s dumb. Just like when the banks did a lot of crappy things and then they gave the money to the banks! I mean WTF!!! Give the money to the people that got screwed on the mortgages and have it get paid back to the banks. Both parties win. Instead they gave it to the banks and let all the citizens crash and burn and even if you were not involved in a mortgage then you definitely had a drop in home value. Stupid.
Beeg and the Fellas should be here busting a blood vessel in rage at this fiscal recklessness.
You'll regret that...I’ll PM u my address.
Corporations are people, my friend.
It's a politically correct sanitization. No distinction. The objective is to provide people with money to spend, whether it's for food, rent, etc.
Speed, for one.
Agreed. But if Obama had proposed straight cash homey, the Fellas still would have hated it. It's all stimulus.
What businesses will be open to spend it in? It will be used for rent/mortgage payments and at the grocery store. I think it's necessary, but it's not going to prop up the other 90% of the economy much.
Worth noting that the stimulus did include a $250 payment to every Soc Sec recipient.
I hope so. My Kohls stock is getting it's @ss kicked.
