Romney joins the Yang Gang! Mittens proposes giving every American 1 thousand dollars

[Lewdog]

Yang wanted to pay everyone every MONTH. His plan was not a bribe to vote for him.

NOooo.. Of course not.. Telling voters his grandest plan was sending EVERYONE a check (including millionaires and billionaires) every month wouldn't POSSIBLY buy any votes....

Programs like that once started, WILL be concrete shoes on the Federal budgets for several generations... And don't tell me it would be in LIEU of welfare.. By the time that got ground up in Cap Hill sausage factory -- it would icing on the cake of EXISTING and DUPLICATED welfare programs...

It was part of his plan on how to fix the growing gap between the rich and shrinking middle class. Why would he NOT use that while on the campaign trail? It is no different than a candidate campaigning on cutting taxes for certain groups....

"The GAP" is not a money problem.. It's a systemic poverty problem.. And without BLAMING the poor for the gap, you WORK to fix the anchors that hold them down.. Not make them comfortable in dead end jobs...

Universal ANYTHING is nothing the govt is good at.. They've criminally mismanaged every "universal" program and Trust FUnd that they've EVER started....

And it's NOT like tax relief policy.. It's the OPPOSITE of tax relief in terms of the working class wallets...

You don't understand the purpose of UBI if you think it is just money. The rest of your post proves that is very clear. Yes it is very much the same as a candidate promising tax cuts to certain sections of society. Do you have any fucking clue how many rich people voted for Trump JUST for his promised tax cuts, despite not liking him as a person or any of his other stances?

Whaaaaaaa....it isnt fair that black men who make millions of dollars , whore themselves out to professional ball teams, while i am just a shitfuck stupid liberal, who doesnt want to work, so i should get paid the same as they do.....

Of course this is what a liberal thinks every day they wake up.

I'm not a Liberal, and there isn't a single thing in any of my post that has to do with professional athletes.

Romney proposes giving $1K to every US adult amid coronavirus

The fact that Dems aren't proposing this is a pretty troubling sign for November

1000 dollars?

The entire 700 billion should be divided among all working people.

The last stimulus did nothing for the people this one should be exclusively for the people

It shouldn't be $700 billion, there are only around 254 million adults in the country out of a total population of around 329 million. That would be $254 billion. The airline industry are asking for $58 billion from the government... I say fuck them, give it to the people that are hurting much more than they are. A couple of months of down time is not going to put them out of business. They don't deserve to take advantage of socialism... they think it is evil anyway.

I just heard on the radio that they were going to give tax breaks to unemployed people to stimulate the economy.

Yeah if the economy needs stimulated NOW, what sense does it make to try and do so through paycheck tax breaks that will be small amounts over a long period of time? So let's look at this. A person gets their hours cut to about 25 per week due to their place of employment cut hours they are open. That person gets an extra $20 per week on their paycheck from the tax break... That isn't going to help pay their bills NOW.

 

[Lewdog]

In the press conference right now... it sounds like they are going to do big checks in the next 2 weeks rather than the payroll tax.

Romney is a dem in the wrong party....And he's a fucking carpetbagging idiot to boot.

Now go take your Diazapene.

 

[Oddball]

I sometimes wonder if Romney would have been any better than a lame duck Obama....

He wouldn't have been....He has always been a gutless POS.

Likewise, I keep saying that Algore wouldn't have fucked up this country as badly as Dubya did, because he would have had congress holding him in check.

 

[Lewdog]

Mnuchin just said that Trump said the big checks right now is the best choice and they could be bigger than what has been put out in the media... then later they kind of said it would be $1,000, which is the amount that has already been talked about.

Let me repeat, Mnuchin said Trump ordered him to send out these checks in the next 2 weeks.

Not effective or surgically targeted to the problem.. It's a complete "feel good" confidence thing... Like I said -=

1) Shore up Unemployment insurance..
2) Temp open Food Stamps, LIHEAP, other continuing direct benefits.
3) Temp lower the qualifications for MediCAID...

BREAK SOME WINDOWS!!!!

Yeah, that'll fix everything.

I'm against giving away "free" money that will make us all poorer via inflation, but if the government is going to forbid people to work, something democrats have long dreamed of and also unconstitutional, then they should be required to give these folks money

 

[Rambunctious]

The checks will help people that can't go to work due to closings...it will supplement unemployment compensation for many...this has nothing to do with the market...its to help the people that live paycheck to paycheck....

We bail out banks so we can bail out struggling citizens...

You really think a measly 1000 dollars is going to make a difference if people are not able to work for many weeks?

The last stimulus was great for business but not so great for the people who actually lost their homes so I don't think a paltry 1000 dollars is enough it should be more like 10000 per household and nothing for businesses

Yes it will help those that can't go to work...I don't like it but I recognize the need....

When the government actively prevents people from earning a living and supporting their families then the government takes on that responsibility.

It's about time the fucking government actually did something for the people first and not big business
