Statement from the President [on signing covid relief bill]
whitehouse.gov ^ | December 27, 2020 | President Donald J Trump

Posted on 12/27/2020 6:40:05 PM PST by ransomnote

As President of the United States it is my responsibility to protect the people of our country from the economic devastation and hardship that was caused by the China Virus.

I understand that many small businesses have been forced to close as a result of harsh actions by Democrat-run states. Many people are back to work, but my job is not done until everyone is back to work.

Fortunately, as a result of my work with Congress in passing the CARES Act earlier this year, we avoided another Great Depression. Under my leadership, Project Warp Speed has been a tremendous success, my Administration and I developed a vaccine many years ahead of wildest expectations, and we are distributing these vaccines, and others soon coming, to millions of people.

As President, I have told Congress that I want far less wasteful spending and more money going to the American people in the form of $2,000 checks per adult and $600 per child.

As President I am demanding many rescissions under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The Act provides that, “whenever the President determines that all or part of any budget authority will not be required to carry out the full objectives or scope of programs for which it is provided, or that such budget authority should be rescinded for fiscal policy or other reasons (including termination of authorized projects or activities for which budget authority has been provided), the President shall transmit to both Houses of Congress a special message” describing the amount to be reserved, the relevant accounts, the reasons for the rescission, and the economic effects of the rescission. 2 U.S.C. § 683.

I will sign the Omnibus and Covid package with a strong message that makes clear to Congress that wasteful items need to be removed. I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill.

I am signing this bill to restore unemployment benefits, stop evictions, provide rental assistance, add money for PPP, return our airline workers back to work, add substantially more money for vaccine distribution, and much more.

On Monday the House will vote to increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000. Therefore, a family of four would receive $5,200. Additionally, Congress has promised that Section 230, which so unfairly benefits Big Tech at the expense of the American people, will be reviewed and either be terminated or substantially reformed.

Likewise, the House and Senate have agreed to focus strongly on the very substantial voter fraud which took place in the November 3 Presidential election.

The Senate will start the process for a vote that increases checks to $2,000, repeals Section 230, and starts an investigation into voter fraud.

Big Tech must not get protections of Section 230!

Voter Fraud must be fixed!

Much more money is coming. I will never give up my fight for the American people!

What frosts me is all the money leaving the country to go into foreign pockets and the inevitable kickbacks to elected and appointed officials.

That's pretty much WHY they've been trying to "deep six" Trump since he was elected.

He initially turned over the feeding trough and they could NO LONGER STEAL taxpayer dollars with ease.

They're now attempting to put the trough back in place, slam the door on Trump, and start openly lining their own pockets again.

We have 23+ trillion in debt and another 100 trillion in unfunded liabilities. We can't pay it back. We're done. Utterly and completely done.

You're "Right as Rain" in what you stated... Strange, however, that everyone thinks we have an UNLIMITED credit card and the Government will always find a way to keep the SHOW going.

There are going to be some very tragic and painful times and stories when the roof falls in and we're made to realize the "IMPOSSIBLE" has happened.

The real metal; or a piece of paper that says you bought some?

The real metal, of course. If possible get at least some in small denominations like .10 oz Austrian Ducats. Much more easily negotiable than the usual 1 oz coins and you can carry four or five in your wallet easily. Tenths are much easier to use for barter. Bars, IMO, are pretty much useless unless you are storing a lot of money. Remember, $100K in $20 Gold Eagles is only fifty coins.

Thank you. I get vilified around here for speaking the truth.

There is a video (or series of videos) out there wherein Chris Hedges (WARNING: very liberal) talks about his book the Empire of Illusion. I do NOT (((emphasis))) subscribe to his political leanings, nor even to all the things he posits in this video but the financial and cultural elements are spot on. Ron Paul has even stated many of these thing before. That 21 trillion of national debt they talk about.. It is the top of the iceberg. Our debt is a massive vulnerability and, ultimately, our undoing.

No person or household can survive borrowing into perpetuity. The same is true for countries. If we are selling 2 billion of our debt per day to China, God help us. We have been sold out by those in power over us.

I appreciate his continuing to fight for us. But I hope he keeps in mind that printing too much money leads to inflation, which harms the economy and the purchasing power of those $2,000 checks. He’s spending big in an emergency for the purposes of dealing with the emergency. Joe, if he gets in, will continue spending big as he deliberately prolongs the emergency and manufactures new ones. Never pass up the opportunity for another crisis, and let the value of the dollar be damned.

Your last two sentences:

Could happen that way

But no matter what, the Careerists will keep stealing and stealing until they have it all.

Then the only option to occur will be for an all out un-civil war and a Mad Max Country

Lots and lots of watering of the Tree of Liberty.

Then a few patriots will raise out of the dust and form a new Republic.

And more watering of the Tree of Liberty.

That’s always the reason for massive pork deals

It’s simply money laundering.

That’s why Careerist Polititions are multi millionaires.

I'm no longer expecting any sort of good outcome from all this. If they do give me another $2000 I'll spend it all on prepper supplies.

Hopefully, he will rescind the provision that includes not giving 11 year olds the right to receive the vaccine without parental consent.

WOW! I did NOT know that. This means your kids could go to school and get vaccinated without warning against your wishes. Was 11 the only age group targeted?

5D CHESS — What Most Of You Don’t Seem To Understand About ICA 1974

Dr. FoxKat (that’s Doctor to you)
@FoxKat2

I’ve studied the ICA 1974, and what he did was epic! He used the law the Congress created to reign in Presidential powers, and instead followed it to the letter in order to back Congress into a corner. This was Chess at 5D levels.

Don’t tell me what I know to be true is false. I read the act and understand it, but clearly you don’t. Congress ends noon on January 3rd, and if they don’t vote to make the redline changes effective, the bill dies. The new Congress cannot vote on the previous Congress bill.

If they decide to pass on the redline Rescissions, they will kill the bill and it will be on their records. That’s political suicide for many of them. They will be primaried if they don’t pass because they didn’t get their pork. It was 5D Chess by Trump.
READ Trump folds or 3d chess.

He played them with their own politics. He followed the letter of the act and they’re backed into a corner. Either they agree to his redline Rescissions (all of them), and he wins, or they sign their own political death warrants. That’s why Dems and RINOs are so upset now.

Eleven was the youngest age they could get the vaccine on their own.
