I assume you're talking a V shaped stock market recovery. In the trenches it might be a very different story. For example, do you believe a switch gets thrown someday soon and every DZ is back to normal? 

To a large extent the stock market has recovered.  As far as the rest of the economy goes, we will just have to wait and see what two trillion + dollars does to a recovery from a downturn that had no underlying economic cause.

What is going to be funny, and is already happening, is the blame that POTUS will have to weather through about how much he increased the debt.

The left will happily tack that 2.2T that they approved onto the blame game when the numbers come out - 

I'd be surprised if it doesn't become a huge talking point in the upcoming election.

One side of their mouth they are ecstatic that the stimulus went through and the other side already is, or will be condemning for the exact same action.

Democrats aren't really know for their fiscal constraint.  To be fair Republicans only care about it when the other party is in power.

Cause then you would understand why it is sad there is a home for him in the Republican Party.

It has indeed been funny to watch Republicans, even those on here continue to complain about socialism yes.

I know of a few Republicans here.

Thankfully, most, like myself, are conservatives that don't affiliate with the polar outlook that you do.

I suppose. The good news is that at least $30,000 in airport subsidies is going to your airport. That, and the rest of the dole to come, should help keep the rents low.

Of course.  He demanded it.  Now he's bragging about it.  He owns it.

JFK would not have a home in todays Democratic party. Cut taxes for the rich

Yep, if JFK came along today and proposed a top rate tax band of 65% he'd be out there with Bernie in the "far too socialist" wilderness.

 

Honestly, this goes along with your ludicrous suggestion that the super rich aren't hoarding money as evidence that you don't quite get how far the financial times have changed.

Trump engendered great passion among his supporters.  The enthusiasm gap between Trump supporters and Biden supporters is HUGE.

So? Doesn't matter how brainwashed the hardcore who go to his rallies are, they still only get to vote once.

Indeed.  They have beaten and crippled people for Trump.  One of them even murdered for him.  The left just can't seem to find that sort of passion.

Well, if we really want to get into the real spirit of the 60s left I give you the best chronicler...

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin'
Will soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

 

But somehow I don't see the Senator from Delaware living up to anything like these ideals.

You mean the boogeyman? How many terrorist attacks has this so called organization launched. How many churches has it blown up shot up or burned down?

Both those quotes are of the same incident. both state no known link to ANTIFA. Do you ever bother to read anything you reference? Or like trump do you dispense with reading?

To be clear, I feel more strongly about toe jam than I do Joe Biden. Simply, he's who will be the nominee and I'm willing to toss $50 bucks down the crapper for no other reason than to put value to my hopes.
