Bailing us out with $1000

[JoeWeber 2,306]

If the Republican Horse Shit machine wasn't busy giving money to companies for stock buy backs that help no one down stream we could already be doing something to make our nation stronger that was also up scalable in this emergency: infrastructure repair. If the tax cut Trillion was instead building roads, bridges and public internet right now it would be simple to throw another bag of money at it to provide jobs or other services for displaced workers. 

Instead, with nothing helpful in place, let's give two weeks of pin ball money to buy November votes and do a victory lap. Right wing politics are not smart politics.

Then why are we not hearing the right bitch that they are not in the President's chair??

I guess the politicking IS smart - I think you are talking about the results.

Turtlespeed: where the Bonfire and Speakers Corner intersect, unfortunately.

You seem to focus on me personally, and the other posters that you disagree with, personally, A LOT.

Worry less about the persons and address the topics . . . Or stop posting.

Dude, it's all about how trivial and impertinent you are when you post.

There is zero content in your post. You just like posting. Great. Go to a forum where seriousness isn't expected or be more serious.

A thousand dollars, when does this happen? I am not sure what that is going to do except buy toilet paper. Seems to me like money to buy a new gun or two or three used ones. If this is the start of SHTF that is investing in the future.

The blaring squeals of hypocrisy are but dulcet tones to the foolish and indoctrinated.

Note to Ron: of course they won't report this where you get your news.

I just don't listen to it much. 

What would you do with $1K? Would it make a difference in your life? Guns and Rx meds would make a difference in mine.

Joe, just what do you think the rich folks do with their money?  They sure don't put in a giant vault like Scrooge McDuck, and swim in it.

They buy a second house.  Helps the builders

Buy a car.  Helps the car workers

Go on vacation.  Helps the travel industry

Go out to eat. Benefits cooks, waitresses, bar tenders, etc

Or if you are really evil (rich) you could start your own charity like Bill Gates

Really, you are becoming a caricature of an aging hippy.

BTW, Obama and Biden took care of our infrastructure needs with the last bailout.  (remember all of those "shovel ready" projects we spent a trillion dollars on)

Out of curiosity, what would more guns do for you?  I have to imagine you own a quantity of guns.  

[airdvr 197]

The little people here...you know, the deplorables...the ones hanging on to their guns and religion... really need this money.  They do jobs you and I would never consider.  They make  minimum wage.  They have been told not to come to work.

Not understanding that gave us Trump.

A lot of it goes into giant vaults in the Cayman Islands, Panama, the BVIs, etc.

Give trump credit. IMO psychology is the first step in understanding the motivations of a individual. trump was never a salesman per se. As daddy gave him his start, then investors and finally bankers. But I digress. He understands the base instincts of his base. fear and greed.

Most voters will know a little bit that these payouts are nothing less than a bribe. Its all about Nov,3. Dress the pandemic up as a war. Dress trump up as the war president.

But the best is yet to come. All of the larger US corporations will have to come begging to the WH. trump has announced that he, er the US government wants to take equity positions in these corporations for these bailouts. OH! the photo-ops to come. trump showing voters what a great negotiator he is. Personally driving "tough" deals.

$1000 .... thats just for the base of the base. The checkbook is wide open. If history has shown past investors, bankers, states, employees, anything. trump loves a open bank.

Wanna bet in the end the Obama bailout will have more to show for the dollar than what trump has to show for it?

Hey John, I'm confident that you do know its all fake now, just 1s and 0s on a computer - money really doesn't exist in the quantities they would have you believe.

I think you underestimate on one front and overestimate on another.

Sale or trade for something else needed.

Yeah, I'm not out of the woods with this cancer thing just yet. One of my Rx is $200/mo.

In a time of trouble you never know if gold or weapons will be the best investments.

Glad to see you have finally become a socialist!  Welcome to the club, and good luck spending your sweet, sweet entitlements.
