Statement from the President [on signing covid relief bill]
whitehouse.gov ^ | December 27, 2020 | President Donald J Trump

Posted on 12/27/2020 6:40:05 PM PST by ransomnote

As President of the United States it is my responsibility to protect the people of our country from the economic devastation and hardship that was caused by the China Virus.

I understand that many small businesses have been forced to close as a result of harsh actions by Democrat-run states. Many people are back to work, but my job is not done until everyone is back to work.

Fortunately, as a result of my work with Congress in passing the CARES Act earlier this year, we avoided another Great Depression. Under my leadership, Project Warp Speed has been a tremendous success, my Administration and I developed a vaccine many years ahead of wildest expectations, and we are distributing these vaccines, and others soon coming, to millions of people.

As President, I have told Congress that I want far less wasteful spending and more money going to the American people in the form of $2,000 checks per adult and $600 per child.

As President I am demanding many rescissions under the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. The Act provides that, “whenever the President determines that all or part of any budget authority will not be required to carry out the full objectives or scope of programs for which it is provided, or that such budget authority should be rescinded for fiscal policy or other reasons (including termination of authorized projects or activities for which budget authority has been provided), the President shall transmit to both Houses of Congress a special message” describing the amount to be reserved, the relevant accounts, the reasons for the rescission, and the economic effects of the rescission. 2 U.S.C. § 683.

I will sign the Omnibus and Covid package with a strong message that makes clear to Congress that wasteful items need to be removed. I will send back to Congress a redlined version, item by item, accompanied by the formal rescission request to Congress insisting that those funds be removed from the bill.

I am signing this bill to restore unemployment benefits, stop evictions, provide rental assistance, add money for PPP, return our airline workers back to work, add substantially more money for vaccine distribution, and much more.

On Monday the House will vote to increase payments to individuals from $600 to $2,000. Therefore, a family of four would receive $5,200. Additionally, Congress has promised that Section 230, which so unfairly benefits Big Tech at the expense of the American people, will be reviewed and either be terminated or substantially reformed.

Likewise, the House and Senate have agreed to focus strongly on the very substantial voter fraud which took place in the November 3 Presidential election.

The Senate will start the process for a vote that increases checks to $2,000, repeals Section 230, and starts an investigation into voter fraud.

Big Tech must not get protections of Section 230!

Voter Fraud must be fixed!

Much more money is coming. I will never give up my fight for the American people!

The recissions only take place if Congress approves in 45 days. If not, the bill is enacted without the recissions .

Sadly feels like surrender all around. If his second term comes down to begging patriots to protest in DC on the 5th and the 6th and the House, Senate and Pence to do the right thing, I fear for our country and the world.

I think the money given to Americans—even at the increased levels—pales in comparison to the pork. What frosts me is all the money leaving the country to go into foreign pockets and the inevitable kickbacks to elected and appointed officials.

Why would he give up when he’s winning?
If you watch the MSM, they claim he’s moving out of the W H and Melania is thinking about writing a book about her time there.
This is the same MSM who has been trying to overthrow our country for 4 years, the same one who dumped Russia Hoax, Dossier, Ukrain etc. etc. lies on us day and night for 2 years and then....nothing.
The MSM can make it LOOK real, but they cannot actually make it happen.

Amen. I hold Trump blameless in this. Democrats and their RINO enablers do not feel the pain of their constituents and will continue to spend money they don’t have and keep their boots on the necks of the People.

Trump has to get past the GAO approval first before any of this 45 days stuff kicks in. GAO will just regurgitate this from 2 years ago when Trump tried the same tactic.

President Trump showing his greatness again focusing on the American people.

Much ignorance blaming him for what he CAN’T ultimately control.

President Trump is stabbed in the back by the GOPe led by China Mitch.
That’s the way it is and wailing while pointing fingers incirrectly solves nothing.

“$2000 has zero chance of getting through the Senate.”

Other than Romney and the China Mitch dogs, says who?

If something is impossible to do then it will not be done.

The debt WILL be canceled, thus everything that will flow from that massive bankruptcy will happen and nothing can stop it.

They will never use the term "bankruptcy". The blatantly false nomenclature decided upon will seek to obscure their responsibility and foist the shame and guilt due them onto others.

When someday the dust finally settles, after many millions of helpless people have succumbed and died perhaps there will at last be an honest and sober assessment of what caused the disaster... perhaps it will lead to a re-birth of liberty and plenty. They are a sad lot, those responsible for selling the future out for easy money...and truth be told most of us are at least junior members of this loathsome group.

All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

May our children forgive us and may God grant us mercy for our failures. I pray to God that we can pass through these interesting times with minimal suffering and by some divine grace avoid world war.

I say pray and prepare my FRiends...and above all, pray some more.
