WASHINGTON, D.C.—Nancy Pelosi has announced that every $600 stimulus check will come with a free slice of cake for Americans to eat.
She made the announcement in a speech yesterday after the stimulus bill was criticized for not doing enough for the middle class. The amendment to the $900 billion stimulus bill, coupled with the reasonable $2.3 trillion spending bill for the federal government, means that in addition to getting $600 created out of thin air, each American will get a slice of chocolate cake.
"Americans have been suffering, so we need to let them eat cake," she said in front of Congress yesterday. "We closed down their businesses for the past nine months, so it's the least we can do. Really. I do mean that. The least."
Congress considered ice cream for every America, but Pelosi vetoed it as it was too expensive to give every American a $13 quart of the brand she eats. There was also talk of giving the option of vanilla cake, but that was shot down as being racist.
Epic Bee
Epic.
Hey, I want the $100/gallon ice cream!
I would have preferred $1200 for every adult and “O” for dependents....because the dependents have no bills to pay.
I was hoping for a $5 off coupon for Subway.
Maybe we need to run off to Pakistan and get in line for the $10 million for transgender training that they put in the pot for those folks.
As long as it has lots of tryptophan for those in Rio Linda needing to go back to sleep.
They’re All Gonna Laugh At You, Carrie.
From Pelosi? Then I actually expect _crumbs_ from a slice of cake! And it may be “free” to Nanzi, but the People pay for it!
I thought $600 was just crumbs, Nancy? You mean we’ll get a whole slice?
Keep the damn cake. I would rather had 1200 bucks. Our children’s children will still be paying for these stimulus packages. Give me that cash.
In Marie Antoinettes context, “cake”is the stuff left over in the frying pan or pots when you’re done cooking.
“Let them eat cake” was not indicating she wanted people to have delicious food at a bad time in history. It was her way of saying “let the people starve”.
I want a membership to the “fruit of the month” club!!!
BOL. Wilford Brimley liked to visit the counties N of Gay Frisco.
Haven’t seen him for a few years.
Illegals will get $1800 and three pieces of cake.
Ha!
That was great!!
I hope it has a sedative in it.
$900 billion stimulus bill
Wonder how much of it can be traced?.
