And we couldn’t get commie-care repealed w/56 or so?

Exactly why I loathe the assistant Democrats. We gave them the House. They said nothing really could be done without the Senate too. They swore up and down that if they got the Senate majority they would repeal Obamacare. Swore and pledged to do this. They got the majority and then hemmed and hawed about why they couldn't really do it. And after nearly two years of pleading helpless shenanigans, it came down to one, single vote (McCain) who, I strongly believe they knew, with certainty, that he would vote it down.

We had the Executive branch and Congress and they still refused to get rid of Obamacare. They still refused to fund the wall.

I have absolutely no use for these lying hacks who go on Hannity and spaek all the right phrases and plainly lie to our face (looking at you Lindsey Graham). Over and over, and they think we have nowhere else to go and will follow them like a deaf mute imbecile. Good luck. Never again. And I don't care if Joe Biden destroys the country. They allowed Democrats to steal the election. Get out!

The national debt is about $27 trillion.

https://usdebtclock.org/ has it at 28 trillion but with this 1.9 trillion bill, we can just call it 30 trillion now.

The Democrats will have to clean out all bank accounts and pensions(except Party Members) to keep this going

House Republican leader McCarthy:

But it gives San Francisco $600 million, essentially wiping out 92 percent of their budget deficit. In both the House and Senate, the only bipartisan vote has been against it. And after 5 relief bills, it is on track to be the first passed by strictly party lines. Republicans have said that the bill before us today is costly, corrupt, and liberal. Now, even the Biden White House agrees: it is very liberal. They called it the ‘most progressive piece of legislation in history.’ So let’s be clear: This isn’t a rescue bill. It isn’t a relief bill. It’s a laundry list of leftwing priorities that predate the pandemic and do not meet the needs of American families.

"Most progressive in history." I suppose you couldn't expect anything better given the stolen election, but that's one-tenth of the entire U.S. GDP and they're only getting started.

So it’s going to cost every American $100,000 or so to give everyone $1400.00?

Its almost all owed to corrupt London bankers


Not sure about “London” specifically, but yes, the “banksters” hold the majority of the debt.

However, I am confident that you and I along with our children and grandchildren will feel far more pain than the “banksters”.

In times of great economic peril, the little people get squeezed the hardest.

Agree. The darn Fed Gov. is not the answer to solve problems. These so called econ types in treasury, plus other Fed Departments claim they have masters/PHD’s in Econ.
I doubt they ever consider any micro theory. They always use macro national income accounting. They never consider assets, and the debt like the 28 trillion. No business could get a loan with a debt more then their
assets/ business net worth and/or the owner’s personal assets. Congress just PO’d 1.9 trillion.

Nope, pain will be the other way.

QFS, gold backed, is the only way.

Wipes slate clean.

My thinking on this phony bill is that everyone who voted for it ought to be jailed.

I feel bad for you that you’re deluded enough to think that raising your prices will somehow fix your problems.

Do some reading first.

Like Germany in the 20s and early 30s

LONDON (Reuters) - The world’s biggest asset manager BlackRock told clients on Wednesday that 17% of the 2 trillion euros ($2.4 trillion) in assets it manages covered by new EU environmental, social and governance rules are classed as sustainable.

Depending on how you read "17%", that could mean 100% are sustainable.

Problem with this being a communist spending bill us they’re blowing their opportunity all up front in a panic. Having given $1.5T away in two months flat, they have set extremely high expectations for the next 22 months. (22 because if they don’t keep putting out, they’re gonna get replaced in the midterm.)
