Take THAT, Senor Turtle-ito!
Sure the hell isn’t socialism. It’s a rebate. McConnell is an idiot.
Squabbling about government welfare. It’s all socialism. 200, 600, 1 million.
It’s all socialism and government welfare.
OPEN THE DOGGONE NATION!
Does anyone here wonder why Pelosi got the severed pig’s head and McConnell didn’t?
On its face, it looks like Antifa is happier (for some reason) with McConnell than with Pelosi.
How can it be socialism? It’s our freaking money to begin with.
Rebate? It’s very minor compensation for a government taking.
nothing but theatre.
I’d love for them to give back at least 10 grand I paid last year. I’ll leave 4 for military.
Actually, it is. Open the country.
If that’s what it is, it should be directed to those who actually had something taken. Instead, it’s directed to everyone who made less than a certain amount in a year. It is neither a rebate nor compensation. It is a means-tested welfare benefit.
If it’s a rebate, then why is it being paid to people who pay no taxes, and being withheld from people who pay the most taxes?
It’s not socialism, but it is certainly welfare.
I don’t understand why McConnell opposed these checks. Politically, it is bad for GA Republican Senators and I cannot for the life of me understand what advantage McConnell gets by opposing them. Sure the deficit increases, but that deficit will be Biden’s problem. Politically, it is a very bad move by McConnell and if the GA Republican Senators lose, he will be blamed and driven out as Republican Senate leader. It just doesn’t make sense unless, some deep pocket McConnell Donor has bought him.
government welfare is socialism
private welfare is charity
For example, for singles you start getting a reduced payment if you make over $75,000. The reduction is still $1 for every $20 of overage. But that means you hit $0 at $87,000 of income instead of $99,000.
+100
. Occam’s Phaser.
I don’t understand why any Republican is not opposed to this massive giveaway. We used to be against giving welfare checks to people who don’t actually need it.
I just wish McConnell had found religion much earlier and opposed other wastes and handouts of our tax dollars.
I hear you, but Politically it doesn’t make much sense.
