Artificially low interests rates. Artificially high market prices. Huge debt, increasing debt ratio, decreasing real dollar value. Not a good recipe for economic health and sustainable economic growth. The cards will tumble at some point. They, unfortunately, will tumble on the backs of the shrinking middle class.

All these stimulus bills do is provide an avenue for misplaced funding to get hidden under the guise of national assistance. Wish i could opt out...i want no part of this carnival. The amount of help provided is worthless on a practical basis and the debt saddled will outweigh any potential benefit.
Bread and a circus...keep the mobs at bay. An accelerated descent into financial chaos builds. Rome, i look to you for our failure.
Shouldve focused on specific help, specific assistance, virus control, indvidual retail and restaurant assistance and job creation. All while pulling funds from existing sources to alleviate the concern of increased national obligation.

i love our armed forces, and the men and women who serve, but the military pork that ends up being in these things always chaps my hide

I do agree with him that I don’t truly understand why other countries are benefitting from this deal. I’m sure there’s some roundabout way, just not good when you effectively shortchange your citizens to provide for others.

Probably a bad bill. But it does help those in the US who need it. I'm torn. May take six more weeks to get something workable.

US gummint won’t agree to take care of US taxpayers unless they agree to take care of everyone else first

$600? Nope, Trump wants $2000!
I don’t know how much more the government can afford to dole out.
Oh what the hell, it’s only money.

What they can do is remove all the bullshit. Then they can afford to STIMULATE as they were tasked to do in the first place.
They should be ashamed. But, they are politicians. So they are not. Those people are garbage.

I saw an interview with lindsay graham last night where he is boasting about the millions and millions of dollars for pakistan for gender equity training. Explain to me how that stimulates the US.

DT is absolutely correct in saying that piece of legislation should be sent to the garbage dump.

I wish Congress would ditch the omnibus bullshit and vote on like a 2 paragraph long bill that plainly spells out relief for struggling Americans.
That's the kind of bill for which it would be appropriate to rush to a vote, and not a moment too soon.
