Thank you for your comment Mac. I intend to stay in Canada and never again go to America. I'm afraid of getting shot by a stray bullet.You and your free money should stay in canada instead of poking your nose into US affairsWe get free money in Canada and it's working out pretty well for us so far.
Your opinions should remain in canada alsoThank you for your comment Mac. I intend to stay in Canada and never again go to America. I'm afraid of getting shot by a stray bullet.
I think there's a valid reason to compensate people who are being asked to "take one for the team" - businesses and workers who are denied an income because of our response to the pandemic. Of course that doesn't excuse the porkfest, or Congress' habit of using every single piece legislation as an excuse to reward themselves or their lobbyists with benes.Such as government employees who were never laid off?It was only given to those making under $75k per year
no matter how you slice it the shutdowns followed by Uncle Santa Claus tossing borrowed money from a helicopter is just insane
Or perhaps we restrict the legislation to its nominal purpose - helping those who are getting screwed by the pandemic response - and save the pork for later.Could this thread just become the one thread in which Americans don't fight each other, and rather just talk about the common good?
Perhaps we could refer to social spending by another name and not refer to it as FREE money?

I think the stimulus, whether $600 or $2000, just prolongs the dictatorship of baby hitlers in the statesI think there's a valid reason for compensate people who are asked to "take one for the team" - business and workers who are denied an income because or our response to the pandemic.

I don't think you're understanding the concept of necessary spending for the people's social needs. There are many more needs of the people than just Covid relief.Or perhaps we restrict the legislation to its nominal purpose - helping those who are getting screwed by the pandemic response - and save the pork for later.Could this thread just become the one thread in which Americans don't fight each other, and rather just talk about the common good?

Talking about Americans being baby hitlers is NOT HELPFUL!

you mentioned compensating people who lost income due to a government ordered shutdown
but government workers lost no income and the certainly have no claim for compensation
Its still irresponsible spending no matter how they deliver the moneyyes, tossing money from helicopters is insane.
But instead, they're sending checks, or better: direct deposit.
Its only a small fraction of whats needed for unpaid rent.
why should government employees who never missed a paycheck get any money?
or retirees who had no job to lose?
As long as I dont call canadians baby hitlers ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESSTalking about Americans being baby hitlers is NOT HELPFUL! Please!!
ExactlyOr "essential" workers who've stayed employed this whole time?
Don't try for sainthood just yet.Mind you, I'm not sending the money back when I get it, because it's manifestly obvious the government will use it less wisely than I will.
America's attitude toward addicts and drugs has caused a huge problem. But that was then and this is now and attitudes can change. And so even though Reagan had the most to do with forming that destructive attitude, can we move on and not blame the right or the left?ExactlyOr "essential" workers who've stayed employed this whole time?
the left is giving away free samples of crack to the public knowing that future addicts will pay them back and more
Good and socially responsible government spends money wisely. Greedy capitalist government don't. Please stop fighting with your fellow Americans so the new presidency at least has a chance to start the healing.Its still irresponsible spending no matter how they deliver the moneyyes, tossing money from helicopters is insane.

You're the richest country in the world so you still have a way to go, but it might turn out that the wealth of the richest might need to be shared.
Other people's money is probably the only way out of the mess that was created by (fill in the blank)

Even people like you who suggest it's a good thing to point guns at people, can change their attitudes. I would suggest you watch Charles Dickens', A Christmas Carol and take the message to heart. Baby jesus wouldn't appreciate your poor attitude any time of the year! put the guns down!Good and socially responsible government spends money wisely. Greedy capitalist government don't. Please stop fighting with your fellow Americans so the new presidency at least has a chance to start the healing.
Healing???? You meant destruction I believe.
the unintended consequence will be to addict the public to free moneyBecause it's a stimulus bill which indicates it's purpose is to stimulate the economy. Since retired people, healthcare workers, government employees all spend money, that's the intent.
and at some point we will have a federal budget deficit that is unsustainable
America will implode from our own mismanagement
