President Trump suggested this week the next coronavirus relief package could include a direct cash payment for American families that's potentially higher than $1,200.

"It may go higher than that actually," Trump during an interview Wednesday with ABC affiliate KMID in Texas. "I'd like to see it be very high because I love the people. I want the people to get it."

This is depressing. Democrats and Republicans have no concern for the deficit, no concern for incentives, and no qualms about buying votes with the taxpayer’s money.

Borrow $7,000, give me $1,200, and make my grand-kids pay it off never...

Exceptional...

Hey, Congress, try balancing the budget for a change. Average budget-balancing check to each American will be -$81 thousand. Notice the negative sign. And triple taxes (or cut spending) hereafter.

Yes, our Santa is better than their Santa but still selling out souls is rough.

And it won’t. Just the unfunded liabilities already dwarf the national debt. And then there’s the derivatives.

https://www.usdebtclock.org/

Unfunded Liabilities at 153.5+ trillion dollars right now.

Frankly, I expect a global crash, a global reset and a global currency. All as a result of every nation being bankrupt, or virtually all (perhaps a few exceptions?)

I then expect the man of lawlessness to arise from Europe and not only “fix” this, but to provide UBI for each “world citizen”.

Eventually, that UBI will require a “charagma” - a tattoo to buy or sell (in order to get their electronic money).

JMHO

AAARGGHH!

Did he learn nothing from Bush’s ‘stimulus’ profligacy, much less 0bama’s?

What incentive is there to go back to work? I Don’t understand why Trump is saying this if he wants to get the economy back on track. Is he still listening to Kushner?

[the country is screwed]

Unfortunately, that is correct.

And it has been since 2nd term Boosh and Obama really blew up the debt.

Add in the unfunded liabilities and we’re on a runaway train.

I don’t like it but that’s where we are now.

Hold on to your hats. I still try to food prep when I can. Main thing I’m missing is my excess 5.56 though I have a fair amount.

I am sorry Signalman-—back to work where? There are whole industries that no longer exist thanks to government...(whether local or state) Stores are closing...restaurants have shut their doors...

I have scores of friends that can’t get PUA, PPP or EIDL—Many haven’t even gotten the first round of 1,200 helicopter money...

The whole thing is a mess...

Play the game or take the blame. That’s how Rats have manipulating Republicans for decades. Republicans fold every time.
