President Joe Biden’s push for a $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill took a step forward on Friday as a U.S. House of Representatives committee unveiled the legislation Democrats hope to pass by late next week.

The 591-page bill, stitched together by the House Budget Committee, would carry out Biden’s proposals to provide additional money for COVID-19 vaccines and other medical equipment.

...House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she was aiming for a vote in the Democratic-controller chamber on passing the bill — a top priority of the new Democratic Biden administration — by the end of next [this] week.

Earlier on Friday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a fellow Democrat, said his deeply divided chamber will pass the bill before March 14, when the latest round of federal unemployment benefits expire...

apparently $2,000 checks aren’t passing “immediately” after the election of 2 Democrats in Georgia after all.

The sooner this chit show collapses of its own weight, the better. Of course, it took the USSR the better part of a century for that to happen. I feel for my kids, but half of them are leftists anyway, so they made their bed.

They’re loading up the helicopters now.

Sadly, what you get is a tiny fraction of the total cost. If they took $1.9 Trillion and divided it evenly among the people, then every mam, woman, and child in the United States would receive $5,758. Each. So a family of 4 would get $23,000.

But that money isn’t for you and me. That money is for the people paying for Congressional campaigns.

What do you and I get? We get to imagine how hard our grandkids are going to have it when that bill comes due.

It’s almost like they lied to fools for Senate votes!

(Of course we knew they were lying)

This is great news! It has made my day! Oh, wait. Is it $1.9 trillion per person, or is that the total amount? 🤔

Prep Prep Prep for the night is coming. The top will stop spinning sometime. If you do end up with some Biden-bucks put it into prepping if you haven’t already. JMHO.

Yes indeed, I've been saying that for years. The conservative movement, post Goldwater and Buckley, is comprised of lifeless nobodies. Let this all crumble.

The bill that will come due is already due and we’re paying it now.

China won. We’re out of time. While the keg called the end of the world in 12 years, we called it decades ago in three financial arena.

They ignored it, and us. Hell even we ignored it.

Im now hunkering down for 20 to 70 years. Land, greenhouses, underground dwelling, tax exemptions and hard, hard work to build up a real bank account. Like one with gold.
