As I recall, the economy grew at a 30%+ rate in the fourth quarter of 2020. The econonmy is doing great. We have little need for more growth. We need to let existing businesses open for business. The “close everything down” mentality of the rats in the blue states is what’s hurting us right now.

“ after Pelosi stalled the previous one for three months”

McConnell worked with her to stall it

Why do so many Freepers still want to pretend the GOP establshment isn’t also working against us? All summer McConnell said he didn’t favor major new stimulus. He wasn’t lying, because when a clean $2k bill was sent to him last month, he refused to allow the Senate to vote on it - even though Trump practically begged him to do so

So yeah, let’s keep blaming the whole thing on Pelosi, because”Democrats bad, Republicans good”

“Rescue Package” means bail-out to blue state governments, their pension funds, and tons of money to Democrat cronies for green-schemes.

Hey, I’ll take $1400. It’s $1400 more than Mitch would give us. Trump asked Mitch to give us $2k and Mitch told Trump to buzz off

“ What happened to MY $2000 in bidenbucks?”

True GOP blocked it

Trump asked for $2k checks

Mitch said no way

After that, voters in Georgia responded by electing Democrats

Doubt it. Not constitutional. McConnell does not know what he is doing.

As I recall several economists attributed the “30%” not to growth but to inflation, especially in basic consumer goods and services and food.

That chart is inaccurate. There is now $27 Trillion in official debt and another $130 Trillion in off the books debt & liabilities.

The US is bankrupt. Thanks to our oligarchic class that are tied in with our elected politicians.

It’s over.

So you’re glad Mitch refused Trumps request for $2k checks?

And what is the phonetic writing mean? What are you trying to say by it?
