President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Or the hundreds of abortions he himself has ordered.

 

The headline is 100 percent accurate; I'm surprised a stickler like you would have an issue with it.

 

Democrats had a super majority in the Senate for the first eight months of Obama’s term. They should’ve rammed more through then instead of trying to play nice with Mitch.

 

Because a lot of people are still in a vulnerable spot. I haven’t missed a check. Yet. But in part because of your klan’s love of Trump and contempt of knowledge, the industry in which I am employed is in peril. So, yes. I’m going to accept that check because I may need it.

 

Also - let's be clear about something - it's a "stimulus" not a giveaway. The money is meant to "stimulate" the economy - so regardless of the amount, the aim is for people to spend it and increase transactions. A better idea than cash would be Debit cards of whatever amount, that needs to be spent completely within 60 days or expires.

 

Wait, I thought investing in stocks was best for the economy. Money moving from place to place at the consumer level doesn't work. Think of the banks!

Much of this money is gonna go to pay down debts. So cash is better. Not many people are going to save this money no matter how rich they are. I didn't really NEED my first payment last spring, but I used it to buy a new stove anyway.

 

I was working three days a week and receiving the $600 a week. My state had a work program that allowed for it as long as you worked fewer than 36 hours.

Why they thought workers making $30 an hour in the rural Midwest needed an extra $600 a week I don’t know, but we didn’t turn it down.

 

Yep. I paid my personal property tax and paid for a new crown in my grill with mine, along with donating $100 to a local charity. So I gave money from the federal government to the local government. Oy.

 

They missed the one where he kicks his ball from under a tree limb. That would have been any time between 1 and 335,000.

 

My post said "why can't we TARGET that aid as well?", as we TARGETED $600 weekly unemployment benefits.

Absolutely nothing was implied about "not helping people who need it."

 

True political science fact. Non-targeted government assistance is way, way, way more popular than the kind aimed at those who need it most. Social Security and Medicare are more popular than food stamps (although those are still pretty popular). This is because since people started living in groups that needed order, the primary question of politics is and always will be "where's mine?"
