Honor the 10th Amendment and don’t give out the money.
Or money to foreign aid.
Or money to bank bailouts.
Or money to colleges or students.
And so very much more that we should not have ever been federally funding.
Two unlawful expenses do not make a right.
I’m not retired but I do the same thing in my community.
The local merchants love seeing me walk in their doors. All of them, both big and small need customers.
I’m still betting some nitwit in Congress will someday demand to issue every citizen a credit card that Congress can spend on and then the person on the card is personally liable for the debt incurred, to pay it off.
“Such micromanaging IMO is a terrible idea.
“Also, most unemployment offices, along with missing freelancers, the self-employed who lost their companies, etc., take months to process even the smallest of changes or new programs.”
How many fraudulent votes are detected by signature verification?
Well, you ought to not bother with it.
Open the envelope and count the ballot.
KISS
A few simple rules can prevent bad results.
Total non sequitur there, pal.
“Honor the 10th Amendment and don’t give out the money.”
Congress has the power to dispose of the territory and other property of the United States.
Untrue.
The power to spend is linked only to the enumerated powers.
“complicated”
It costs about $3,000 to buy copies of all the regulations that govern Florida residential construction.
Doesn’t matter. Paying by who has debt, of any nature, is a piss-poor way of crashing the national treasury.
Giving a single dime to the illegals is very disturbing.
So blanket $2000 checks for everyone makes more sense to you than debt deferral? I think you misunderstand: there’s a difference between deferral and cancellation. There are millions of people who own their own homes and paid cash for their cars. Do they really need the money as badly as someone who has a mortgage and a car payment. Most people do have those kinds of debt and they could use the help. Those without those debts need less in the short run.
We have bankruptcy courts for a reason.
I would go with one-time cash checks to low-income folks of all types. Those who use debt for more than they could afford? Not so much.
And it is much more often renters who are in desperate straights more than homeowners. Yet, often the landlords to those renters can’t afford simply not getting paid on some sort of “deferral” program.
I suppose you want student loan debt wiped out too.
Yes, I’m with you, though I’d include those looking for work in March 2020 and freelance/gig workers who lost income that is not as easily demonstrated as the regular unemployed.
Definitely not on student loans. My daughter-in-law borrowed $50,000 to go to law school. She made more on her first case that I did the last 6 years I worked. She paid it all back the first year after she finished law school.
Liberals will tell you that everyone in society benefits from a well-educated populace. Perhaps, but a huge chunk of that benefit accrues directly to the student, so I think they should pay every dime back. Also, for me to fund a student majoring in Playground Ethics only to find out they can’t get a job to pay back the loan after graduation sounds like I funded four years of fun for them. Also, I don’t like what universities are teaching these days.
