As usual, republicans in Congress are useless and COVID is no exception

[Billy000]

Democrats are pushing for another round of stimulus checks. One could make the argument that other options should be explored before more stimulus checks should be produced.

However, as per usual, republicans aren’t offering any alternatives. All they can say is “uhh. Let’s just wait and see what happens.” Does that sound like leadership to you? Republicans prove themselves again and again to be terrible at governing.

My point is, while more stimulus checks may or may not be a good idea, at least democrats are pushing ideas and are giving timelines for action. Republicans are just useless as always. It really is astounding. I guess they’d be more motivated for another stimulus if it includes another ridiculous slush fund for big corporations. That is what they do best after all.

Yeah, but Congress gave us Kavanaugh instead of Garland! See?

Yep, let’s cut defense spending and close the corporate tax loopholes and deductions to help pay for it. We have to start somewhere.

More monopoly money. Just open everything up and you won't have to send everyone your worthless trinkets.

Oh because McConnell cheated the constitution by refusing to even hold a vote for Garland? Yeah I’m sure you’re quite proud.

Entitlements of the Federal Budget is already over 70%, how are you going to address that problem?

McConnell is good, isn't he?! And you said they were useless!

 

[DustyInfinity]

Did you see the garbage in that Christmas list? The 1200 checks to illegals is an eye opener.

Yep, let’s cut defense spending and close the corporate tax loopholes and deductions to help pay for it. We have to start somewhere.

That will still leave well over $2 trillion in extra debt. We are already over $25 trillion. We don't need faux "stimulus." We need to get back to business and take the appropriate precautions for our vulnerable population

What does amnesty for illegals, money for the arts, climate change to name a few have to do with fighting coronavirus or helping those out of work because of it? If the left wants the bill taken seriously start by removing all the garbage that has nothing to do with the coronavirus from it.

You mean like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security? Programs for the poor like SNAP or TANF are part of that budget, but they are fractions of the overall budget. Part of the reason why so much money is spent on Medicaid is because of how expensive our healthcare system is otherwise.

This is a brand new virus. Experts need time to observe its effects. How it’s behaving has changed since it first ravaged Europe. There are too many unknowns as far as widely reopening the economy.

Cutting spending is how you pay for things. It's not a revenue problem. It's a spending problem.

Everybody had to tighten their belts in hard times EXCEPT government.

I don't mind if we cut a bunch of defense spending. That's moving in the right direction.

What else can we cut? The Department of Education should be eliminated immediately.

[sartre play]

With no judgment here is the bill.
1 trillion for state & local government
2nd round of 1200 checks for family's
Extended unemployment benifits
fed unemployment benefits
175 billion for home owners & renters
200 billion hazard pay for essential front line workers
75 billion towards testing , contact tracing,& isolation measures
3.6 billion for safe Nov election

You can’t just dismiss the revenue side of the debt. It doesn’t make any economic sense. Revenue is how shit is paid for. If the percentage of GDP is too low, the government borrows more. The GOP’s tax cut is going blow up our deficit. You know that right?

There wouldn't be anything left if they did that.

He learned that trick from Harry Reid. I'm sure you were proud when Dingy Harry did it.
