Take THAT, Senor Turtle-ito!
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.
nothing but theatre.
Actually, it is. Open the country.
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.
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.
Graham is right: it is not “socialism.” It is a handout of money ... vote-buying, we might say.
It really can’t even be called “redistribution,” because the debt is so incalculably stratospheric that there may never be any actual ... anything ... behind this.
I say give me back as much as possible, before Biden gives it to some moron who never paid into the system to begin with. Starve the beast!
For me a $600 or $2000 payment would be a small tax refund since I’ve paid a lot more than that in Federal tax.
These payments aren’t welfare payments to me. They are my money that’s being given back to me.
