As Congress uses $600 stimulus checks to front a $900 billion Christmas Tree of kickback-prone political spending, an unexpected critic of the paltry size of those checks for Americans has emerged.
Michelle Obama said, "You’re getting $600. What can you do with that? Not to be ungrateful or anything, but maybe it pays down a bill, but it doesn’t pay down every bill every month. The short-term quick fix kinda stuff sounds good, and it may even feel good when you get that check, and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings."
Missus Obama said this about the Bush stimulus in 2008. Her husband then failed to vote for or against the stimulus, which passed in the Senate 81-16.
But Mrs. Obama is correct. If you are going to stimulate the economy, go big or go home.
The bill will spend $7,329 per household but give each of the 122.8 million households in America a paltry $600.
We are borrowing another $7,329 to get only $600.
That's less than two bucks a day for the year 2020.
President Donald John Trump told Congress to do better.
He said, "Throughout the summer, Democrats cruelly blocked covid relief legislation in an effort to advance their extreme left wing agenda and influence the election. Then a few months ago, Congress started negotiations on a new package to get urgently needed help to the American people. It’s taken forever. However, the bill they are now planning to send back to my desk is much different than anticipated. It really is a disgrace."
He went through all the wasteful and sleazy spending in this 5,000-plus pages of corruption Congress wants him to sign.
He also said, "The bill also allows stimulus checks for the family members of illegal aliens, allowing them to get up to $1,800 each. This is far more than the Americans are given. Despite all of this wasteful spending and much more, the $900 billion package provides hardworking taxpayers with only $600 each in relief payments and not enough money is given to small businesses."
Illegals get three times as much as real Americans?
Just call me DACA Don.
President Trump also said, "I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000 or $4,000 for a couple. I’m also asking Congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation and to send me a suitable bill."
Newsweek reported AOC and the Squad agree with President Trump on the $2,000 stimulus.
That would mean $250 billion out of $900 billion would go to us peasants.
In 2008, Missus Obama said $600 wasn't enough.
12 years later, that $600 is worth only $486.68.
Either do $2,000 or do nothing.
We need a Communist Utopia where I can get everything I want without working or paying for it.
Big Mike will give us some of his/her/its unearned millions . . .
I’m sure to Michelle $600 is like a fraction of 1 cent to me.
“We are borrowing another $7,329 to get only $600.”
If the US Gov were registered as a charitable organization, I think its tax exempt status would be revoked.
Good to see old happy face Scrooge hasn’t lost her touch.
Man are we screwed.
Yeah. Go out and buy a pair of earrings? She is pretty out of touch. We were planning to use our $600 for a new set of tires for our 2007 Toyota Camry.
“...We need a Communist Utopia where I can get everything I want without working or paying for it...”
We need a Communist Utopia where I can get everything THEY WANT ME TO HAVE without working or paying for it.
There...Fixed it...
Got a sneaking suspicion that liberals are gonna use this to try to instate a universal income in the not to distant future. Places like Denmark, and othe r countries are giving people like 2500 even 3500 aa month for covid relief, every month. I suspect that is what the left might be aiming for. Schumer let slip that there was gonna be “much more help” coming in coming months. Liberals been pushing this socialist universal income crap for forever despite countries trying it and failing

Thank God that the oceans stopped rising the day Caliph Baraq assumed the throne, so he could enjoy this place 12 years later.
The Secret Service has to guard that property 24/7/365.......................AND their other home as well..............
Michelle, you were asked, advised, even desperately begged by your Democrats to run for president this time.
You girded your loins and held fast. You said you had no interest in holding office.
So it’s time for you to stop throwing spitballs from the Peanut Gallery and time to mind your own damn business.
You don’t hear your ‘Pal’ Laura Bush sticking her nose in current affairs. So politely bug off!
$600 for a “pair of earrings”? Damn...it’s good to be Queen!
Cheap earrings..............I paid $800 for earrings for my wife on our 41st Anniversary in November................
Michelle should be asking Nanzi Pelosi “why so cheap for Americans?”
Donald Trump said yesterday that it should be $2000/4000 for Americans and cut out the foreign pork (and it will still be a small expense).
Mass coast sounds like a pretty good gig in summer, not so much in Jan/Feb. I wonder if they rotate locations?
I saw a group of Sec Serv guys at the BJ Clinton Double Wide Presidential Library and Massage Parlor in Little Rock because Bill has a “love nest” residence on the 4th floor.
They liked it because there were a lot of cute coeds coming over from the Univ of Arkansas School of Government next door where BJ is a part time lecturer.
and then you go out and you buy a pair of earrings.”

Which is why they are in need of government checks for truly essential stuff like food, clothing and shelter.
