Coronavirus stimulus is a historic, golden, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for politicians, ideologies and DC cronies to rob America blind.
My only comment is I wish he could throw the Democrat scumbags out as well. I think the stimulus is probably 50% a mistake but do what has to be done. D Day was a cluster F in many ways but it worked. Get on with it!
I am not sure if I disagree with the guy from KY... I do not know enough yet...
Massie looks like the geek who got beat up in high school, plus he has a wholly solar powered house. How he got elected in coal country is a mystery.
"principled" is like the word "factcheck".
I automatically stop reading after that.
Many "principled" conservatives are just surrender monkeys to the Democrats.
Massie is giving cover to the Democrats.
No word about the Schumer and Pelosi delays???
Massey is a hero. Democrats always Blackmail Republicans and they ALWAYS cave. “Never let a crisis go to waste”
I really don’t give a rat’s rear end about the complaints. WTF is the house doing going on RECESS for TWO WEEKS. After all the bovine excrement they’ve been spewing about inaction by the administration (or dictatorial directives - depending on which side of the bed pelosi/schumer woke on), they decide to skip out of town WITHOUT FINISHING ESSENTIAL BUSINESS.
Principled - valuing dogma over common sense
Now he’ll be able to fund-raise among the true believers while not have to worry about losing his safe district.
Of course, he’ll wind up in the minority, but that will lead to even more campaign donations for standing up for his “principles” against the evil Democrats.
Win-win
To the degree infection concerns are a problem and less congressional travel is desirable this points out another thing Congress should have been staying put in DC to accomplish. In appropriate emergencies, eg. nuclear war, Yellowstone going off, plagues it may be physically impossible or highly undesirable for Congress to physically convene for some stretch of time. Presuming enough communications still exist to permit it, remote congressional sessions and voting would be better than none. Exec branch has contingency plans to stay in operation during big disasters, Congress should too. But Congress apparently needs to make new rules on itself to allow that. That has been mentioned by a few reps and senators during this shutdown, but they haven't done their jobs to write and pass the rules. Remote voting probably shouldn't be allowed for normal circumstances nor for trivial personal reasons (eg. Congresscritter wants to attend a campaign rally out of DC and still vote); in just what circumstances to allow it will need some debate. There's no reason committees can't work on it at the same time as the bailout bill.
debating?? This is about....we’ll get them the next time.
