These fuckers do not get it.

And I, unfortunately, live in that state.

I moved here a couple years ago, and I cannot wait for my shot at voting against him for the first time in my life.

But, I consider the checks to be Trump's attempt to buy off the mushy middle, and in this case, Graham is probably right. The money should go towards people who lost jobs because of the virus, who are really hurting.

you work with. MAYBE this will be enough to go them to vote against him. Most people don't like a Senator who would deprive them of the ability to survive an emergency!

Thanks for the report, Cat!

We've got enough problems with Burr and Meadows (among others). No more, please!

Stay Safe!

This foul sport will try and do it.

You still come around often?

Managed to get a working password and posted up in the Lounge. It has been six years, I believe.

Hope you're doing well in all this.

Seriously. The idea of making it part of the unemployment compensation scheme makes much more sense, but just sending everyone a thousand dollars in the mail? Really? Where's it supposed to come from? Is the Bureau of Printing and Engraving just supposed to go full on, 24/7 shoving $100 bills out the door, damned be the consequences?


I know people are and will continue to suffer from this episode, and I fully support helping those in the most need, but people have to recognize this for what it is;

A bullshit attempt by this administration to paper over how badly they have fucked up the response to this pandemic, full stop.

It's no different than paying farmers hurt by Trumpy's idiocy with the tariffs, It is ridiculous and people should just say so.

If I get a $1000 check from the government (and I kind of doubt I ever will, but whatever) I am going to put it toward long term debt I have (My car loan, for example) , NOT buy groceries with it, so it will not be stimulative as far as I am concerned.

its a stupid idea and we should say so.

on the credit card. The Treasury will just borrow the money.

That's why I support the idea of getting the money to the people most in need, not every Tom, Dick and Harry out there with a Social Security number.

We are in agreement as to this scheme by Trump to buy votes this fall.

Why would they have to send me a check? Yes, there are things I could use it for but I am not needing to do a total readjustment of my finances.

having insider info off this crisis to continue to now make millions off investing in 'cures', 'testing', etc... And people like me who've lost half their income because assisted care facilities are in lockdown get shit continued rubbed into our faces waiting for the perfect solution. Continue to contribute to campaigns instead of foodbanks. The politicians are going to be fucking fine! They're getting tested on demand, they have shitloads of money, the best healthcare, yet, people are worried someone might spend a tax payer dollar on something THEY don't approve of. I am so fucking done.
