@RepThomasMassie
I called it on March 27, 2020. The popular bill to spend $2 trillion dollars and shut down our economy was “the biggest mistake in history.” That bill and subsequent bills that spent another $4 trillion are the reasons we now have shortages and inflation.

Ya think?
Yet, Trump wanted him tossed out of the Republican party.
Hmmm..
Thomas Harold Massie is an American politician and businessman. A member of the Republican Party, Massie has been the United States representative for Kentucky’s 4th congressional district since 2012.
That’s nice Massie said that and maybe his warning will be heeded the next time, but now what? How do you undo the damage caused by that reckless and needless flushing of $4 or 5 TRILLION down the drain with nothing to show for it except economic misery for another five or ten years?
I’m pleased to say they have made up now.

March 2020: Massie calls the $2 trillion coronavirus bill “the biggest mistake in history”

The greatest mistake in history is when Abraham made a bargain with God, that if he could find ten righteous men in Sodom and Gomorrah, God would spare those two cities.
Only Abraham’s nephew Lot escaped that fate.
It’s not a mistake to plead to God for mercy. Mercy was shown to Abraham in God’s choosing and his pleading saved a few.
We know better now.
I will give Trump and Congress a pass on the first shutdown and massive money sent out. They were under the impression that there could be millions dying from Covid-19. By June when that had not happened, they should have done what Obama did the summer after the pandemic during his administration. He said to stop testing.
If the fed gov had ever been honest with the data and info on early treatment, people would have been able to make an INFORMED decision as to how much they wanted to do outside of their homes. Instead, misinformation reigned. Sad.
I have to agree. They rolled Trump against his better instincts.
You're an optimist.
As Harry Truman said about the office of president. “The buck stops here”. Trump may have been taking his advice from Fauci and Birk. It was he, Trump, who decided who he wanted advise from and it was he, Trump, who made the decision so it is he who deserves the blame. If the decision had been correct in hindsight, there is not doubt Trump would have loudly taken credit for his brilliance.
It’s not a “mistake”; it was and continues to be a deliberate plan by the traitorous Demonicrats and RINOcrats.
Yup that’s it in a nutshell.
You know what though? I reckon Trump is man enough to admit his mistakes unlike so called leaders like Bush.
Watch this space. He is bound to be asked about this if running again I think he might admit it was a mistake.
Also, other Freepers have pointed out he was listening to “experts” like Fauci. None of us knew then that he was akin to a political operative!
I was dead wrong as he delivered. The pandemic handling was less than stellar, to say the least, because his default setting was to trust the experts.
Some of us, including me, took until mid-summer to figure out that Fauci and associates didn't have out best interests in mind. Others figured it out even sooner and still others are only beginning to figure it out as the chickens come home to roost. There is also a subset who will never figure it out.
How do you undo the damage caused by that reckless and needless flushing of $4 or 5 TRILLION down the drain with nothing to show for it except economic misery for another five or ten years?

You undo the damage the way we always do. Over time, prices, wages, rent, taxes and everything else drift up to balance things out. It’s not a perfect process. There are winners and losers but it is what we do. It takes years and the road is not smooth. People with big mortgages benefit, people without mortgages suffer. All this so the Dems can, or least think they can, buy a few more votes.
“All this so the Dems can, or least think they can, buy a few more votes.”
Yep, everything they do is vote-buying.
You can’t make a mistake THAT big. It was deliberate; like pouring gasoline over someone and tossing a match at them.
