If you were a student of Dave Ramsey rather than Karl Marx you would know how wrong you are. Watch Ron Paul talking about government borrowing and how it is unsustainable, you could learn a few things. The opportunities to succeed are out there, too many people believe someone or something works hard to stop them. The smarter you work, the luckier you will be in life. The Democrats are continuing to build an ever larger house of cards and when it falls the little people will be the ones most hurt. Both Lincoln and FDR had the cure for bad economic times, WAR! It worked for the Romans and it worked for them.
It's like your retardation grows by leaps and bounds. No wonder you quote Ron Paul - two idiots of the same feather.
Republicans don't care for the "little guy" and never did so let's see what this bill does go to:
Well, $400 billion of it goes into direct checks with $350 billion for supplemental unemployment benefits through August 29, and another $350 billion for state and local governments which includes
a) $160 billion for vaccinations, testing and other direct COVID-19 measures, which while financing vaccines will do nothing to safeguard the population from the further spread of the virus. That would require mass lockdowns whose cost would have to be placed on the super-rich, whose wealth has risen enormously over the past year.
b) $150 billion to expand child and dependent care tax credits and the earned income tax credit. This increase is for one year only, with the programs reverting to their original form next year.
C) $170 billion for school and college reopenings. The bulk of this, some $130 billion, goes to reopening K-12 schools. The remainder is for colleges and universities.
d) $86 billion for underfunded pension plans through the PBGC (Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation).
This obviously has nothing to do with COVID-19. It is aimed at propping up the industrial unions which have become completely discredited among workers, at least in part because of the destruction of pension funds, plundered by Wall Street as well by the union officials themselves. You know, morty torty, "the little guy" that Republicans care so much about.
Stay stupid. You haven't let me down yet
