Hi folks,
I've been wondering just why Republicans are blocking this so-called "Stimulus Bill".
Well, here are about 1.6 trillion reasons.

Why are Republicans blocking this $2 Trillion congressional Virus Stimulus Bill???
Hard to believe but look it up on the Congressional website for HR 748 from 116th Congress.
American population: 330,483,530
Stimulus bill: $2,000,000,000,000 ($2 Trillion)
Dividing the cost by every in America is $6,051.74
The government could have given every person over $6,000, but instead will give $1,200 to each adult under a certain income.

What DOES ALL of this have to do with the Virus? Are you angry yet

They're all criminals. And people want to see that as "politics", and talk about political parties and changing things with votes. All the money spent by our government looks like this. Stop pretending it's good v. evil. It's us v. evil.

It's no wonder that they wanted a fence around themselves.

Didn't the just give a bunch of these special interests tens of millions in December?
Endowment for the arts comes to mind.
Not that most of the venues are open, nor will be in the foreseeable future..

Republicans were all in for stimulus last year.

About 75% of "republicans" are communists, and 100% of all democrats are.

The very reason the 2A was written was to destroy the ability of government to grab powers they are not lawfully able to have.

It was time 40 years ago.






Better late then never however.

Guys, the jig is up. The only solution, now, is to get as much as you can, while you can, and get something thst will HOPEFULLY have some value when the inflation REALLY kicks in.

Now MIGHT be a good time to buy land, with only the MINIMUM anount of money down (fixed rate, NON-callable loan). Lock in at TODAY’S price, and in 10 years, you’re paying off with “inflated” dollars.

(Of course, this is assuming you live in a lower tax state, where the Dems don’t try and tax your property out from under you.....)

Dems spend your hard earned tax dollars as though it were Monopoly money. Short of money ? They've got plenty of paper and ink, just print more no problem.
