In the crucial Georgia Senate runoff races, Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are using President Donald Trump’s latest push for larger stimulus checks to bash incumbent GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
In video posted Tuesday night, Trump called the $900 billion Covid relief bill passed by Congress an unsuitable “disgrace” and urged lawmakers to make a number of changes, including increasing the $600 stimulus checks to $2,000.
The two Democratic Senate candidates, who have advocated for larger direct payments, wasted no time in responding to Trump’s move and criticizing their opponents..........."

I know...it's not cash for Pakistan or Lockheed Martin, just We the People. But c'mon GOP, get 'er done.
I think you are correct. If we lose the Senate the Democrats go wild and it will be much worse.
Republican Senators would have to be stupid beyond measure to vote against the $2,000 disbirsements.
I used to worry about govt budget deficits.
But in this day of Modern Monetary Theory and run it ‘til it blows, I say gimme my 2 grand!
Some of them certainly qualify.
The 2 senators can vote yes and it still will not get the needed 67 votes
This is also a time of critical danger in Georgia.
Mitt Romney resembles that remark and can be expected to vote against it.

Besides how many more times will Mittens get to vote against Trump’s policies?
67 for what? This isn't an override bill, but a new bill.
And if they sweep Georgia, Kamala becomes Queen of the Senate, breaking every tie in their favor -- including a vote to KILL the filibuster so they can do whatever they damn well please.
Such as $2,000 per WEEK, permanently.
I read it needed 67 votes, incorrect?
oh they are that stupid...I have no problem with fiscal responsibility...I fully support it HOWEVER the Republicans are sitting on their holier than thou “we are just trying to be fiscally conservative” while they have no problem throwing billions to other countries. It is in your face hypocrisy. If you are going to have no problem approving billions to other countries then DAMN IT give the American people the money...at least we paid for it!
Oh you mean the House rule. Yeah true, but Pelosi said if it fails that she will re-vote late at night in a different type of session that only needs a simple majority to pass.
The last $1200 we got I sent back to the IRS. I was ashamed to take their F’n money.
Pretty sure the turtle will include ammendments to this and that will kill it
It probably will never get a clean up/down vote as usual
Get as much gold as you can out of the sinking ship and into a sturdy lifeboat.
If my interpretation is right, the theory says that money should be printed until full employment is achieved. It will take long time to get there. Who knows how much money will be printed? We may not even reach full employment.
The GA Senate races wont buy us much, Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio, John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are going to give the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens.
Wouldn’t be surprised if one or both of the GA Senators vote for it if they win.
Just in case your forgot. THEY, don’t have any money.
