Mitch had no problem giving corporations billions, but unlike corporations, regular Americans don’t have lobbyists

He should resist all demands from Democrats.

About damn time.

Why should the people bailout these profligate states?

 

[kyzr]

There will be no bailouts for states. No fucking way.
1. CA and the rest of the states need to tighten their belts
2. Many pensions are lavishly outrageous, they need to be recomputed and scaled back.

This is the typical cut off your nose to spite your face policies that are common among RWNJs. Tax cuts, federal deficits, and bailouts for their cronies is the RWNJ ideal of fiscal responsibility. Yea, let states file for bankruptcy and go into default and see how that works out for the country. Morons.

Why should American taxpayers bail out Democrats' looted pension funds? Fuck 'em.

Let the mob take it out of their hides.

Why should federal taxpayers fund state pensions?

 

[mikegriffith1]

What??? You want the federal government to fund state pension plans???! That is nuts! Let the states scale back their gold-plated pension plans, if they're facing a shortfall. Do you just want to force national bankruptcy?

 

[Maxdeath]

The states never asked the federal government how to set up their pension plans. They decided to fund pension plans that were well over what they knew they could fund.
The left has been yelling about the deficit Trump ran. The virus hits and they suddenly want to increase it. The states are suddenly realizing how being in lockdown is hurting their taxes. Now they want the deficit to go higher rather then reign in spending. Funny how the left changes their ideology with the wind.

This is not the time to bail out the ridiculous civil servant pension system.....

 

[Thunk]

Todays lesson: TAXPAYER MONEY 101.

When the federal gov't pays for something...all 50 states are paying for it.

It makes sense when one or 2 states get hit by something bad unexpectedly. It's a source of great strength!

But why should the good people of florida or Minnesota pay for the pensions of california?

Is calif. going to buy us a few snow plows?

Why?

If weak kneed governors still want to play the Covid game then they pay the price
Otherwise dechickenshit yourself and live life, only 0.1% have been rendered unable to do so.

More Democrats games.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday insisted that flailing state and local governments should be able to “use the bankruptcy route” rather than receive aid from the federal government — signaling renewed opposition to a top Democratic demand for the next coronavirus relief package.

These states have been mismanaging their budgets and their pension funds for decades. They don’t deserve to be bailed out with a tax dollars of other states and doing so will only encourage further responsible behavior.

Maybe people should learn to start voting better

Why would pensions be in jeopardy? Those were supposed to be funded already. How is a two month shutdown making state pension funds insolvent?

 

[Nostra]

Why?

Because the rest of America shouldn’t be on the hook for states who have mismanaged THEIR state pensions for decades.

Wow! Facts kinda ruined this Libtard pissy pants thread.
