House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that House Democrats would vote Monday on a standalone bill that would provide direct payments to Americans of $2,000 a person.

Pelosi, D-Calif., made the announcement moments after House Republicans blocked a Democratic bid to increase the payments as passed in the stimulus bill earlier this week from $600 a person to $2,000.

"On Monday, I will bring the House back to session, where we will hold a recorded vote on our stand-alone bill to increase economic impact payments to $2,000. To vote against this bill is to deny the financial hardship that families face and to deny them the relief they need," Pelosi said in a statement Thursday morning.

Hopefully, by then the president will have already signed the bipartisan and bicameral legislation to keep government open and to deliver coronavirus relief," she said.

The House is adjourned until Monday afternoon, when members will also vote on whether to override President Donald Trump's veto of the annual defense authorization bill.

I’m no fan of Keynes. But I was just pointing out that they aren’t really Keynesian ... they’re a lunatic version of it.

Moreover, since economics is about what people really do, a part of philosophy, rather than about the movement of money as if it were rational, that Keynes utterly failed to understand that all anyone would learn from him was a excuse to spend should demand that his views be completely rejected.

Congress is like the people of South Park: they can’t be any shade of Keynesian without descending into madness just as Randy Marsh and company cannot drive hybrids without producing toxic Smug.

Don’t get confused.

Government, not bankers in the free market, is the source of the hidden tax of inflation and decreased wealth.

Remember the Left will ALWAYS try to point you away from the greatest political problem and threat of our time: the unconstitutional 80+% portion of the bloated $4 trillion government.

“It’s a parliamentary procedure that is one option for passing legislation. Obviously it doesn’t work when one or more member refuses to make it unanimous. That’s what some GOP members did last week. Do some googling on “unanimous consent” legislating.”

Why would it ever be done or needed when a majority is only needed?

Nothing you or anyone is saying makes sense.

[ifinnegan]

Yeah. Ginned up fake news.

[RummyChick]

Your post is ridiculous

Do you not even know what “unanimous consent”
means?

At least try to educate yourself before claiming something is fake news.

GOP killed it

All it took was ####ONE#### NO.

[Patriot Babe]

Amen to that!

[GOPJ]

Trump would have vetoed it... when Biden's in office he'll give Washington insiders whatever they need to shake down 3rd world hellholes.

"I gotcha the $600,000,000 for your 3rd world 'poor' ... I was wondering if you're like to buy a few hundred thousand copies of my newest book? Or maybe hear a 'speech' for $10,000 a minute? Or put my worthless son on your State Run Gas Company for $50,000 a month? Remember there's more money where this came from... do your citizens have 'gender issues" I can deliver a few hundred million for gender issues for your teenage girls (who will never see a dime of the money... )

“All it took was ####ONE#### NO.”

Who decided that?

[Rurudyne]

I’m not confused.

Top tier bankers aren’t ordinary bankers. They are folks like the Federal Reserve. They’re the dealers to the spending addicts in Congress.

And they are most assuredly living off of the churn.

A “man on the street” enjoying his ice cream “pork stack”— a dig at Pelosi with her horrific facial rictus and makeup (hideous old broad with red lipstick) lip smacking her ice cream in front of TWO $10K each Viking refrigerator freezers in her home (at her winery staffed by illegals who would get for themselves and their relatives— a larger amount of the covid payout than true American citizens).

Humor. It’s a thing. This was subtle and a meme to the point of the lying of this class A Mafia princess biotch- horrific individual. Trump should rip up her bill— and refer to her criminal act of ripping up his State of the Union filed speech handed to her. It was a Federal crime for her to do so.

Economics shows THE EFFECTS what people really do.

Economic Laws of Supply and Demand simply cannot be broken without disastrous effects.

Socialism is an unmitigated disaster because it utterly defies the laws of economics.

Free Market Economics, on the other hand, creates wealth because it is in harmony with the laws of economics.

If the government can pay most people $2,000, and that will “stimulate” the economy, then by all means raise the amount to $10,000 for a real stimulus!
Or better yet, $100,000. No reason why a million won’t work.

Government does not have money. It takes money from one person and gives it to another. When it runs out of that, it writes checks anyway.

This will be inflationary. The DOW and the GDP will go up, and most will think that the stimulus worked. Next time there’s a crisis, the cycle will repeat.

[[You don’t compromise with evil. You defeat it]]

Sadly too many rinos don’t understand that basic fact. Time and time again you see them going on msm hoping the msm will play nice, and not ite them, but time and time again, the left msm devour the right, and the right end up looking like fools to those who watch the msm. Ourmside never learn9s that you do not make friends with the enemy, and expect to have the like you. The .eat are full of demon inspired hatred

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

That’s not going to happen, the criminal Rat/RINO uniparty of treason only cares about the kick backs they get from throwing OUR money to foreign countries. They could give 2 rats about us. It ticks me off because a hell of a lot of people are unemployed because of the unconstitutional destruction of their businesses by the Rat/RINO uniparty of treason. You should see where my brother lives in New York city, blocks and blocks and blocks of stores, shops, delis, restaurants, permanently closed, out of business for good. He sent me 30 photos last month, I couldn’t believe it. But that’s what you get when you vote for members of the Rat/RINO uniparty of treason.

Again, if these “bankers” are actually government employees, then yes, of course they are part of the bigger problem.

But a lot of the Right is REALLY confused about the greatest problem and threat of our time because the Delusional Lying Leftist Media continually steers its public away from the oppression and coercion and tyranny of government to things like “big business” or bankers”.

The Right needs to get it right: THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT is far and away the greatest threat to our freedom, our wealth, and our way of life.

"The Steal" in this 2020 Presidential election-fraud year would have been impossible without the 24/7/365 censorship of the Republican/Trump message and the 24/7/365 promotion of the Democrat/CCP/Soros/Biden message by the fake-news MSM & Big Tech/social media companies. Why? Because without the anti-American activities by the fake-news MSM & Big Tech/social media, the Republican/Trump message actually would have gotten through to the American people and the world. Instead, the vast majority of Americans and the world has literally no clue that Trump and Republican attorneys are seriously challenging the election "outcome." Thus the vast majority of Americans and the world naturally assume Kamala will be inaugurated on January 20 (oh and biden too).

So, if the Republicans/Trump somehow manage to overturn the election "outcome" (as currently understood by the vast majority of Americans and the world) on January 6, well, you can only imagine what will happen next. OTOH, if Congress certifies Kamala's Electoral College "victory" (oh and biden too) on January 6, that will begin the process of Communizing the U.S. The speed of that Communization will obviously be impacted by the "outcome" of the two Georgia Senate seat run-offs on January 5. Then there's the concern about how many days or weeks, after that January 5 so-called "election day," it will take Georgia to "count" all the mail-in Biden ballot dumps at 4AM (without Republican monitors or observers).

This is all working out exactly as planned by the Communist China Party leaders and George Soros. No matter the "outcome" on January 6 in Congress, the CCP leaders and Soros win. Gotta hand it to Soros & the CCP leaders -- they truly are master game-planners. I haven't really had the time to think through how to rectify this situation, so I leave that to others for solutions. I'm only stating the current status of the predicament.

115th Congress ended two years ago.

Why would they be dictating unanimous voting requirements today?

[JLAGRAYFOX]

I hate to say this...but IMHO, Both Democrat, Nancy Pelosi & Republican, Mitch McConnell should be lined up on the White House lawn and then be shot by a firing squad of 12 Marines.

Why? Innocent American small businesses and millions of “every day” Americans are suffering greatly in poverty every day. The economy is going down the toilet rapidly and unemployment is growing!!! Pelosi, the Bitch/Witch has played politics for over five months on this issue, stimulus support, and McConnell is just as bad. They both, and their parties along with them suck and stink to high heaven!!! And then to boot, these low life congress critters take off and go home for Xmas...leaving Jane & Jim Americans empty handed once again. What human scum and vermin these America politicians are!!!

Two things need to happen. Trump serves a second POTUS term as a result of the POTUS, election that he won by landslide and term limits must be passed like right now!!!
