Typical Democrat - see a problem, spend other people’s money.

[a fool in paradise]

Why not, comrade Hidalgo in Houston was paying some people $2500 a day for over a month with zero patients in her popup hospital near to the football stadium.

[a fool in paradise]

Since ‘we are all in this together’ start with an immediate 25% paycut for all politicians.

[a fool in paradise]

The same ‘math’ that showed Bloomberg “could’ve given” every American voter $1million with what he spent on his campaign

[McGruff]

And you aren't Creepy Joe Biden. And never will be.

[onona]

it’s happening in the free market now. Bonus’s and pay raises. No need for law.

That's it in a nutshell.

Federal civilian employees should ONLY make $4.25/hr which is at least double what they are worth based on quality of work.

[2CAVTrooper]

Is today “Make Wild Unsubstantiated Claims Day”?

To democrats, everyday is make wild unsubstantiated claims day.

“supermarket workers and health etc workers are able to be doing their jobs at this time”

We “nonessentials” actually are also heroes. If we didn’t buy stuff and get sick and injured, they’d be out of jobs.

> but when did the Laws of Supply and Demand get recinded?

They were temporarily placed in abeyance by printing a shite load of money.

[2CAVTrooper]

“We can afford to do that,” Biden said.

Show me the math old man”

His answer:

“Uh, one plus I pooped my Depends.”

Indeed one of the few tools the dead party has left new cell phones to ensue.
Next the free stuff bus stops at every house daily.

This sounds like the Bill Romney was talking about although his was 12.95.

[econjack]

Yeah, that worked well in post-WWI Germany and more recently in Venezuela. Will they ever learn?

[American in Israel]

At this point the heroes are those of us putting up with out income for 2 months or so and resisting running out doing real harm to those restricing us from our rights to get back to our work and provide for ourselves.

Best post of the day...

Damn! I have a Ph.D. in economics and try to stay up with things, but when did the Laws of Supply and Demand get recinded?

It only happened in the Bizzaro Democrat universe when they collectively stuck their heads up their big black holes and had their brains sucked out!

[1Old Pro]

Damn! I have a Ph.D. in economics and try to stay up with things, but when did the Laws of Supply and Demand get rescinded?

When money started growing on trees.

[Harpotoo]

No problem, let him and his I WANT TO PAY MORE TAXES supporters Pay for it out of their own pockets LOL!!!

“Biden calls for immediate $13 minimum wage increase for frontline workers”

a piecemeal vote-buying scheme like this is hardly a “plan”, really nothing more than a paragraph out of the old Dem minimum-wage playbook ... though interesting that biden is dipping only one foot into the federal minimum wage swamp ... also, i wonder if he rally meant $15 but gaffed on $13, because $15 is the magic number for his kommie komrads, and it seems like JUST $13 for JUST “frontline” workers, whatever those are, would just PO EVERYBODY off, with kommies being unhappy with minimum wage lite, while conservatives would be unhappy with any increase at all ...
