Never gonna happen - if they distribute $14 trillion among all the black people, none of them will ever have to work again, so how are our betters going to be able to make any more TV commercials? No TV commercials, no TV - that would be a major hit in dumbing down the populace.

He says he can’t tell the difference between a fire alarm and a door handle, and we should listen to him on anything?

This guy is not a serious person.

Another problem is all the millions of “immigrants” being brought in by the DemocRats. Virtually all of them will be on welfare and more. If reparations were ever deserved, and if anyone seriously considered paying them, the new “immigrants” will have to be paid first.

Ironically, the DemocRats have to bring in these “new voters” to replace the millions of Blacks they exterminated through abortion. So, Mr Progressive Representative, you couldn’t get the money anyway, because it is going to finance your replacements. Keep voting DemocRat, buddy. They love you to death.

Where are MY reparations?

Family genealogist traces us back to Wales, where a teenaged brother and sister walked to the port in England, took a ship to the Caribbean island of Nevis, where they were indentured servants. They cut down trees before Black slaves came in to plant sugar. After a few years, they were shipped to the coast of North Carolina, with nothing but their clothes.

I need to get a lawyer!!!!!

And incidentally, the first time I saw a Welsh Corgi, I knew I had to have one. That was in 1966, and the family has never been without one since. My daughter currently has two.

“Where did the money come from?” he added. “We spent it into existence.”

This is why our Founding Fathers specified that money would be GOLD and SILVER. It can not be created by man for political and power-grabbing purposes.

Central Banks, and particularly printed, fiat money will allow every tyrant and 1000 woke social-engineering schemes to exist.

The North in the Civil War fought for the freedom of blacks. Billions of dollars and many thousands of lives. Blacks should pay reparations those who paid for their freedom.

Around 30 trillion has been spent on the “war on poverty”.
Think that is enough.

Take that 14 Trillion, subtract the 20 Trillion given under the Great Society scam and you owe the tax payer 6 Trillion ... will that be cash, check or credit card?
