Must be some sort of virtual signaling.

What’s next, Nancy? Speaker Nancy Pelosi is dangerous. She is becoming more deranged, and more sick, and more evil by the day. Remember this in November, America. A vote for a Democrat is a vote to keep Speaker Pelosi in power. We must not let that happen. The Democrat Party must go down hard in November. #GOP2020!
Pelosi: A Minimum Guaranteed Income May Now Be ‘Worthy of Our Attention’
By Breitbart, April 27, 2020
As Congress weighs another relief package amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic which has many small businesses closed until stay-at-home orders are lifted, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) floated out the possibility of a minimum guaranteed income for workers.
Pelosi said on “MSNBC Live” a minimum guaranteed income is “perhaps” now “worthy” of getting looked at being added into the next funding package.
“[A]s we go forward, let’s see what works,” Pelosi outlined. “What is operational, and what needs other attention? Others have suggested a minimum … guaranteed income for people. Is that worthy of attention now? Perhaps so because there are many more people than just in small business and hired by small business as important as that is to the vitality of our economy and other people who are not in the public sector meeting our needs in so many ways that may need some assistance as well.”
She added, “But again, recognize the realities of it all. What is the execution of it? What is working? And … what are we getting our money’s worth on? I think we have to look at that, too. How is the money being spent? With all the best intentions in the world, but nonetheless, we want the money to go where it needs.”
Welcome to Agenda 21.
Travel restrictions?
Employment only allowed with government sanction?
Welfare for the masses?
Only essential items may be purchased?
The left is getting their wish list filled early this year.
A trial run: Keep drive through junk food open, liquor stores and pot dispensaries running, now give them free income. It’s called leveling the playing field, bring everyone down to the lowest common denominator. If Hilliary were president during this I’d have to open up my home to the homeless as well.
In a couple of years, those refrigerators will be $240,000 and the ice cream will be $130 a pint.
You are correct
The new interest free federal debt will seriously devalue the existing federal debt
Whatever you do, please use the hardback version.
Must be some sort of virtual signaling.
You know, as Rush says, if $15 an hour is good why not $25 or $100....really get everyone “out of poverty”.
I see what you are suggesting there. I’d rather they make her into chum and used her off the back of one of her tuna vessels.
"I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." -Benjamin Franklin..
It seems such a waste of ink (?) to aim such words at "Nasty Nancy"... :(
When will some of these old leftists start dying? If they want to make the earth a better place that would be a good way to start.
And heavily annotated. And large print edition.
Another carrot leading back to the plantation.
Actually it is not just “them”. I recall when reading the text of the draft bill providing for the EIC. My comment was why are we sending welfare from the federal treasury to allegedly boost the income of low paying jobs. This is more like supporting big business to keep wages low. Then came the lets get more people off the income tax rolls. Smart move eh? Not so smart when almost half of the taxpayers are removed from the tax rolls and begin saying hey, my taxes are too high (hint they are not paying any income tax and some already getting a check, the earned income tax credit), so increase taxes on the high earners, who are already the only ones paying. This happened under both parties. Now the only way to correct it would be to abolish all forms of income tax and go to something like a flat tax or some kind of consumption tax. This will not happen because no one is going to agree to pay a tax where now they are paying none. We have goosed our financial system so many ways already there is no coming back. We have even monitized our debt to max. Game set match.
More action by Congress is exactly what’s NOT needed. If you give these people a chance they will enact everything everyone here has been wailing against for the last 2 decades and with Trump’s signature. What happened to the Senate being the place for methodical thoughtfulness?
Sign me up for some of that action. I’ll take $30,000 per month. Tax free.
Sorry, Nanzi, Trump already did that. He listened to the scientists. And, he did it for, only, 6 trillion dollars, where, the Bolshekrats were going to do it for 30 trillion for health care only. (He, really, needs some real scientists.)
I used to think, with Trump in charge we were in good hands, but, I think he lost control.
We need to take back the house and put these idiots in the basement
***************
We might take back the House through our votes but don’t assume that the GOP will be representing us. They are there for themselves and their “sponsors”.
Even as recent as Bill Clinton, this kind of talk would have resulted in expulsion from the Dem party. We are living Dem’s wet-dream scenario right now and they are going to drive us off the cliff in the clown car. The scary part is so many support her.
This is what happens when u let lawmakers write their own paycheck.
Let’s not forget She also presided over the House durIng OCommieCare and the 2008 financial disaster
>>We might take back the House through our votes but don’t assume that the GOP will be representing us. They are there for themselves and their “sponsors”.<<
Correct. If the R’s take the house then nothing short of putting Dem’s in Gitmo is safe. They have us on the path to destruction and they are too stupid to know that they go with the rest of us.
