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
We all know you are an idiot so maybe this will hold your attention for more than a few seconds.
Republicans want people to keep them in office just like the democrats. Everyone needs to look out after themselves and learn responsibility. At least the Republicans don't want to own you and your vote through dependence on their multitude of programs. Around nine percent of this latest really bad stimulus is about covid, the rest is the dream list of programs for the backers of democrats.
Since you don't understand economics you don't understand that when the government says you don't have to pay your rent your land lord still has to pay the mortgage on the building you are living in. He may lose it to his lender but you and the government don't care.
Many people can do the math and if they are receiving $600 a week not to work how much do they need to tempt them back in the workforce? If they can earn $800 a week they are only making $200 a week by working. Many don't want to work for $200 a week when they can stay home for a little less. Businesses need employees to reopen and attract staff, it is counterproductive to the economy in the long run to give away all this "free" money.
Vaccinations? Only time will tell if this was just a test to see how compliant the population is to government control or a real health crisis. As well as the only plausible way to steal the November election claiming a need for mail in ballots and untrusted voting machines. The outcome of future elections will be determined before anyone even votes!
Quote:$150 billion to expand child and dependent care tax credits and the earned income tax credit.
Once again, if you have never used the child tax credit work sheet for income tax that isn't as helpful as you may believe it is.
Quote:$170 billion for school and college reopenings.
What are the schools going to spend that money on? They don't need the government to announce that school is back in session next Monday, be there!
Quote:$86 billion for underfunded pension plans
Sometimes people just need to go to jail for mismanaging pension funds. It sucks to be the employees entitled to a pension! Bailout money from an entity that can't manage its own pension fund AKA social security, good luck with that.
