2 Trillion for Washington's Virus Bill = 6,060.00 per Person.
27 March 2020 | RACook

Posted on 03/27/2020 4:45:09 PM PDT by Robert A Cook PE

The numbers speak for themselves.

Rather than "give" 6,000.00 per person to the individuals to use as they see fit, Washington demands their cut: 1,000.00 back (maybe) IF you have less than 90,000.00 income limit, otherwise nothing.

And the rest going to the people the Washington political class selects and the democrat's ABCNNBCBS press corpse approves!

2 trillion is roughly 1/10 of the entire US economy. How will they spend all of that in two months?

- Sounds like you’re a bushbot-cheneycot neocon type who’s still in favor of all those wars, so I don’t expect to get through to you.

I asked a simple question, which is all it took for you to go full Cindy Sheehan.

Saddam became a destabilizing Terrorist and the only reason ISIS grew there was because Obama (who you indicated you voted for) pulled out of Iraq too soon.

full Cindy Sheehan? Nope, full Donald Trump. Everything I said he has also said.

Good night, neocon Bushbot.

Because of the way you were posting in a thread someone finally asked if you voted for Obama to be reelected and you refused to answer.

So I will ask you Cindy Sheehan, did you vote for Obama to be reelected?

“In many respects, you know, they honor President Obama,” Trump said at a rally in Florida. “He’s the founder of ISIS. He’s the founder of ISIS. He’s the founder. He founded ISIS.”

Trump hits Bush: Invading Iraq ‘the single worst decision ever made’

President Trump blasted former President George W. Bush on Saturday over the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, calling it “the single worst decision ever made.”

Speaking at a closed-door event with Republican donors in Florida, Trump mocked Bush’s intellect and compared his decision to invade Iraq to “throwing a big fat brick into a hornet’s nest.”

I quoted Trump to you about ISIS.

We all know there was a tough fight after we killed your buddy Saddam and his crazy terrorist sons.

I quoted Trump to you about ISIS.

And I quoted Trump saying that invading Iraq by your buddy Bush was the cause of the problem - a brick thrown at a hornet’s nest.

By the way, are you Bill Kristol?

I posted a quote from Trump about ISIS and you failed to do so.

Iraq parliament voted for The US to leave Iraq but Trump still has us there.

Go ahead rail against Bush.

Btw Cindy Sheehan, if someone asked if I ever voted for Obama I would be quick to make clear I did not. But that is just me and everyone else posting on this forum.

It was Trump who called a Bush’s invasion the biggest mistake in US foreign policy ever

Anyway , you don’t agree with trump, I get it.

Trump Said Obama founded ISIS.
If not for Obama there would have been no ISIS problem.

Obviously you are in denial about the man you voted to be re-elected President.

The $2 trillion overall price tag doesn’t bother me. It’s less than a third of what we’ve spent on Middle East wars since the time of Bush,


It was at near $1 Trillion by the end of Bush’s 2nd term - roughly the cited economic cost of the World Trade Center suicide attack.

So, Obama, and a bit of Trump spent 5 times that?

Beware this being a gateway precedent toward Universal Basic Income.


Oh yeah. That was clearly coming when they *first* began talking about flat grants.

Who made that chart? Because making $140k does not seem like it is “middle class.” And that is a huge range: $45k - $140k.


That’s been roughly the breaks for a while now.

We are the people described as upper middle class. And yes, we have all that kind of work done. I also have a housekeeper, pool guy, gardener that I pay monthly. I have a handy man and a plumber that we use too. I shut my biz down and can’t reopen until venues start reopening. Since the biz is just me and my daughter and the rest is done by contractors we won’t qualify for any of their loans. And our income makes us unqualified for any of the money. As usual, we get to just pay for it all.

It doesn’t bother you because you have silly agendas and a love affair with putin.

Only a dem or a liberal wouldn’t be bothered by 2 trillion being wasted.

I didn’t know one wrong justifies another years later.

You miss live by some code.

The poster nailed it the first time. Much better to spend $2T on Americans than spend $6 Trillion in middle-east wars and nation building.

Very few of us knew haw bad the mistake would be to invade Iraq. Even a political observer as astute as me supported the attack on Saddam.

But intelligent people learn from mistakes, so it was easy to observe what a disaster middle-east became since Bush attacked Saddam’s Iraq. Iraq was a counter-balance to religious fanatics in Iran. And he was keeping religious fanatics in Iraq in check. We all know what happened next in middle-east.

So I give a partial pass to Bush for his blunder invasion. None of the “experts” saw what the result would be.
