Statement from the President

Budget & Spending

Issued on: December 27, 2020



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to carry out the full objectives or scope of programs for which it is provided, or that such budget authority should be rescinded for fiscal policy or other reasons (including termination of authorized projects or activities for which budget authority has been provided), the President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!

When I read yesterday that he had signed the bill, I was disappointed and surprised. Until I read this stating what actually happened. And what will happen in addition to this.

Only if they have a gun to their head. No way they will convict themselves. There will be a show trial followed by, "No significant fraud...".

I will be surprised if any of that happens.

Most likely Congress will ignore everything but the relief check increase.

and much more.

Aid to Pakistan and Broadway? Why airlines?

Sorry...so far the $600 dollar bribe is not working for me.
Not mentioned that I have seen but I am sure is n there is rescue of cities and towns from their follies.

As others have noted, the voter fraud thing is a fig leaf. It worked way too well,,,,no reason to make any attempts to “fix it.”

Just saying....

Trump just invoked the Impoundment of Control Act of 1974

So first off, shills are claiming Trump signed the bill, therefore it is now law. It’s not. Trump just invoked the Impoundment of Control Act of 1974, which allows him to send a special message to Congress demanding whatever changes he wants on the bill. The bill is then sent to the House, and they and the Senate have to decide if they’re going to draft law to approve his changes, or sit on their ass. Trump just used that to demand $2k checks, cutting out the foreign spending, repealing Section 230, and opening an investigation into voter fraud. See here:

And if it doesn’t happen, Trump’s voters will know who to blame: Congress.

Note to Congress: Screw him and us at your peril.

Upwards of 99% of Congress expect Trump to be gone on January 20th. So which do you think they'll do?

Yeah, so?

Since he entered office, the GOP establishment in Congress has never liked Trump. They have never respected Trump. The have, however, feared Trump, or more accurately they have feared his base. They don’t even do that anymore.

This will take time to override or change, and leaves The President sitting in the proverbial catsbird seat of “actual” public opinion of “who’s really trying?”.

I remember similar promises made to Reagan on amnesty bill.

That did not come out on the plus side

...signed the bill, therefore it is now law. It’s not.

____________
Could you provide sources or explication?

I stated on another thread that the bill is not yet law and also, that the present Congress ends 1/3/21, so the bill is now moot until a new Congress drafts/submits it.

I am being told I am confused, it is law because it is signed, and we are, therefore, all doomed. Or at least, this iteration is over.

Would love to have some sauce. TIA.
