Is There Wasteful Spending In The Coronavirus Stimulus Bill?

[DawgyNWindow]

Turdbucket Republican Thomas Massie is going to try to slow this bill down in the House, but you can trust in Nancy to get the job done.

"post turtle"

Yet you whine about Trump's tweets.

I am still waiting for you to state your first "libertarian" viewpoint.

I am a citizen, not president. CLEARLY, our elected leaders should be held to a different standard than citizens in terms of their rhetoric. Communicating is part of their job, and if they can’t do it properly they should vacate their post.

Guiss has been here a long time. You should read some of his older posts. I don’t know that he still considers himself a libertarian, but if you think he’s some sort of big government leftist, I would encourage you to read some of his pre-Trump posts. He was the one who started to thread about Obama being the worst President ever!

If all the politicians quit that couldn't communicate correctly we'd get to make a total fresh start.

Oh yeah, I know Pelosi will ram home this bloated bill. No question about it. Nothing to be proud of...unless you're an effing socialist pig-dog...which why I can see you are beaming. Sad day for our country, but starting to get used to that.

Just as I told you should would, she delivered on the Senate’s bill - the House had the bill for much shorter period of time than the Senate. It is now to Trump.

Too bad the US President doesn't have a line item veto power...could clean up this bill really quickly. Alas...there goes another $2.2 trillion.

What should he line item veto?

Don't even tell me you are a fan of that nut job or even think Pelosi delivered anything but constant misery to America.

Remember how I was right while you were enjoying getting your chain yanked by the usual folks about the progressive wish list in the irrelevant House bill?

Everything except the checks to individuals, means-tested by income levels, and checks to small businesses. Since that would eliminate about 95% of the lines, it would be easier to do a line item check marking, marking those items to be funded.

This first Relief Bill should have NOTHING guvmint related at all. No non-profits either. NOTHING for non-American citizens, legal or not. And don't be coy, you know full well what items need to be stricken from the bill.

There are plenty of nonprofits that provide that rely on revenues derived from services to employ people.

I work for one and sit on a board for another. I know about non-profits. But, this relief bill was intended to put a band aid on a hurting economy. Pelosi, and I'm sure other politicians, has already been droning on about Relief Bill 2- The Sequel. Checks should have gone out last week and small businesses should already have met with SBA reps (usually a state's SBDC) and completed application for emergency loans. That's it. Nothing else was needed, especially not in the first blush of relief when we all know, and knew, round 2 was going to happen.

You are neither...
