SCHUMER: Senate Republicans "not on board" with $2k checks

@ChadPergram

Schumer on if $2,000 stimulus checks can get through the Senate: It's up to the Senate. Every Senate Democrat is for it but unfortunately we don't have Republicans on board...I will be on the Senate floor tomorrow urging that to happen

More likely that the GOP is not on board with sending billions to other countries ... but that is just my .02

$600 giveaway not big enough for you? Sounds like you might want the Welfare Party. Trump already choked by signing the omnibus bill with the foreign aid. Throwing more money add it doesn’t fix it, it makes it worse.


Supporting the GOP Senate right now? Sounds like you enjoy being a doormat because they provably do not have our best interests at heart. China Mitch and boys do thank you, though.

Which way is Romney voting? Which is the same as asking which way is the wind blowing?

I’m sorry the GOP Senate isn’t letting you suck on the teat of the government for another $1400 free dollars. I know you think you earned your free government money, but you didn’t. Nothing more pathetic than a bunch of ex-conservatives turned welfare whores. Yes, I support the GOP Senate in not wasting more money, and I assume you support the foreign aid because your 4d chess playing god emperor signed the dumb bill. If he vetoed it and demanded a clean $2000, at least you’d have a principle to stand on. At this point it is just a pathetic race to see who can give away the most of other people’s money. Enjoy your spot on team Schumer.

The GOP Senate is happy to waste money they borrow from China. They just don’t want YOU to have any of it. My principles are sound enough that I can deduce the GOP Senate has no interest in me or my family.

Will you be returning your $600 to the treasury and refuse other “wasteful” government benefits? It seems your principles:= require that.

You mean Trump is happy to spend the money, and wants to spend even more. What happened to that veto? Trump choked, and now we know where he stands.

I'm not eligible for the $600, regrettably, or thankfully depending on how you look at it.

You don’t get what this battle is about. It’s not about the money. It’s about hoisting the beltway sewer rats on their own petards while they complete the steal that disenfranchise us all.. They are supposed to be representing those who elect them and not foreign countries. They are not.

I don’t need the money & will give it to someone needy or the Salvation Army.

My concern is for the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs or businesses as a direct result of government(s) policies & are desperate for some relief. If we are going to spend money, let it go to those most needy, not to the Smithsonian, Pakistan, the rich & influential.

As for welfare, I want the Feds completely out of the health, welfare, & education business. They have royally fouled up all three.

The only solution to keeping this country together is the smallest Federal government possible - 1% of its current size & scope; & the implementation of term limits for both Congress & the Federal bureaucracy. That’s a good start anyway.

Sadly, I have little hope of either happening. This negligence will likely end in civil war or endless tyranny.

Exactly correct and the point that the doctrinaire conservatives don’t get. The GOPe can always count on these useful idiots to block real MAGA reform.

Globalist Republicans claim that they oppose social spending that helps American citizens due to fiscal conservatism and wanting to avoid increasing the national debt.

They lie.

Every one of them is eager to send cash to foreign countries no matter how much doing so increases the national debt.

We all have a hierarchy of priorities.

Mine are the opposite of theirs.

SCHUMER IS ALL ABOUT ‘SHUMER’

His forehead looks like a NY Parking Lot. Age is catching up with the old fool...

AOC will finish his career for him...let her run, we need fresh entertainment and old Charlie needs his panties twisted tight...let’s roll.

As opposed to you, openly supporting Warnock and Ossoff and hoping the Schumer takes complete control of the government?

What I don’t understand is that they easily approve giving a dependent who is NOT a citizen funds but not someone who is a legal citizen and claimed by a son/daughter whom they are taking care of who is not yet old enough to collect SS.

“Why not $200,000 checks?”

You are missing a zero there, FRiend.

Lodi you are absolutely right. This bill isn’t about wasteful spending or even screwing the American tax payer! It is simply another diversion to take the discussion off of the stolen election and the coming of communism in the USA. Capitalism is dead!
