This is weapons grade stupidity, but we already know that.

Why not just dust off the forms we created a few decades ago?

“What’s more, the plan would likely require congressional approval...”

Get out of here! Since when have the Dems let the law and the constitution get in the way.

“We’re going to work to bring down gas and food prices. We can save families money and other items,” Biden added.

We are GOING to work? Why future tense, you idiot?

"WE can SAVE you money?" Yeah, I always look to the smart people in government to save me money and make things affordable!

Me too. My check is not inflationary. Everyone else's is.

Five bucks a gallon is one of those imaginary thresholds that isn't really all that imaginary in practice. If it hits six plus this summer watching the media try to spin it will be the only funny thing about it. If it persists through October, the midterms will be even more exciting.

Gas rebate cards--FOR DRIVERS OWNLY?! Or do I get one for each kid? And what about people without drivers licenses or functional cars, will get get gas rebate cards as well?

And what about illegal aliens and non-citizens. Regardless of what citizens get, non-citizens, illegal or not, should get absolutely nothing!

And finally, do I need to document mileage or fuel purchases?

Inflation is theft.

There is not enough swag to go around.

Somebody will get shorted when the bosses pass out the loot.

That ought to make things even more interesting.

He got is into this mess in the first place on his first day in office.

Why don’t we have a strategic chip stockpile or reserve?

And where was the baby formula reserve?

Republican politicians better inject some honesty here. The solutions to correct the economic course of America are not going to be pretty. Our problems not going to be solved overnight. It is going to take years to fix things.

Every penny government spends is another step in the wrong direction. This problem is just beginning. The parallels to prior economic times is not 40 years ago, but 50 years ago. We can't repeat the same problems of the 70's and wait for another Reagan. We can't have 13 years of vacillating economic and monetary policies. If we don't do something radical, austere and now, then we will be repeating the 70's and early 80's on steroids.

The Fed needs to do it's small part. That's raise interest rates, but do it big and do it now - 750 basis points, not 75. The Fed has to stop quantitative easing - NOW.

The labor force needs to be corrected - deport every eff'n illegal alien and foreign national with a work visa.

Have the greatest tax cut ever. Completely eliminate all business taxes along with across the board tax cuts for individuals.

Massive portions of government need to be shuttered. Start with every single regulatory agency - completely shutter them. EPA gone. Energy Department gone - spin off nukes to the military. Eliminate the FBI, Homeland Security and all intelligence agencies less two, and then slash the budgets of the remaining two. Shutter the vast majority of Health and Human Services. Shutter everything that has to do with healthcare. Shutter every board and commission that you never heard of and never did anything but take from you. Fix our schools by shuttering the Department of Education. Fire everyone of their drag queen leftist asses. Eliminate every frickin' green and climate change program. Eliminate all grants and subsidies to colleges and universities. Eliminate all foreign aid. Cut the defense budget in half. Fire every woke general and give dishonorable discharges to every faggot and transgender freak. The military should be reduce to only those elements that kill and break things and provide direct logistical support.

And this is just the start. Look at the list of government agencies, boards and commissions. If you never heard of it, if they never did anything for you, if they don't positively affect more than 50% of middle and lower class citizens, then it gets shutter.

By the way, I don't give a damn about all the lazy ass unemployed government employees this would cause. They caused the problem, they get to feel the pain. They can find jobs in the private sector and actually work for a living.

I heard the card idea was scuttled because of the chip shortage.

We will be thrilled when JoeB issues his Executive Order commanding the wind to turn wind mills. No one wants to see first hand what happens when the wind does not blow, as the shocking realization came to Germany a while back - windmills don’t work if there is no wind.
