LOL...very comparable to your typical Black Friday madness. What is with this run on toilet paper, though? Not like the Wuhan Flu is like dysentery or causes diarrhea...MUD
I'm with you...I think the $1K checks are a wasteful boondoggle, more likely to dangerously devalue the dollar than significantly spur the economy...MUD
Btw...who the heck is going to buy all that additional U.S. debt needed to pay for those checks? The ChiComs? Doubt it...fact is, this is more unsecured debt (aka funny money). What is the definition of hyper-inflation? Not predicting it, but the inflationary pressures are there...MUD
SOME of this stuff is not only justified,it is necessary to prevent complete chaos.
The problem is with the career polls who see this as an excellent chance to use federal money to push their agenda by using part of the money to buy votes.
Sadly,there does not seem to be enough ethical Republicans to shut that shit down.
In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
For every action, Pete, there is a reaction. Nobody was gonna stand too strong on fiscal conservatism considering the way the RATmedia has whipped the electorate into this unnecessary frenzy. Still, it'll take folks more than a few weeks or months to spend that $2 Trillion. Oughtta give ambitious Trumpsters time to dig into the details of that monstrous boondoggle and I predict the National Debt and annual Federal Deficit shall be a far bigger issues than they have been so far in the Trump presidency.
As it stands now, it is impossible to argue against what Schiff says, but this is the sort of time where a TeaParty-like reaction is necessary to counteract this allegedly temporary expansion of the Federal leviathan. We have a focus now, but all aspects of Federal spending need to be subject to the chopping block...MUD
Now that America has unleashed a 6 Trillion dollar social welfare program to combat corona-virus and associated issues, how many so-called conservatives are waiting for their $1200 bucks?

MY best guess is once the bill is passed and the money borrowed and in the bank,Trump is going to start diverting it to building the wall,hiring more border patrol agents,and MAYBE paying off some existing debts early.
The Dims can use political leverage to get him to sign a bill like that just before a Presidential election,but they can NOT tell him what to do with the money once he is re-elected and has access to it.
After all,it's not like he owes them any favors and he is STILL conscious of how the history books are going to write about him and his presidency.
Don't forget,NOTHING is more important to Trump than his ego and his place in history. NOTHING!

"...nothing is more important to Trump than his ego and his place in history."
I hadn't thought of this before, but it does have the ring of truth. And while someone so focused on their own ego can be self-defeating, the fact that Trump realizes history will ultimately judge him and his Administration is a very good thing, imho...MUD
the fact that Trump realizes history will ultimately judge him and his Administration is a very good thing, imho...MUD
I consider that and his experience with wheeling and dealing to be THE prime things of importance.
In FACT,it was those two things that convinced me to vote for him the night before the elections. He couldn't be bought because he already had money,and there was nothing in the world more important to him than his ego. Not even his wealth.
It's all about the history books and his legacy.

One other attribute that has served Trump well is his exceedingly THICK skin. Is it the NooYawker in him? I don't know, but the RATmedia has been soo savage and soo biased for soo long...and the frickin orangehaired Energizer bunny just keeps on beating that damned drum.
What do YOU do when you chance upon three federal bureaucRATS buried neck deep in the swampy mud? Bring more...MUD
BTW...to all y'all RATS out there, that AIN'T a threat...that there's a joke, as is MTP Host, Chuck Todd, a certifiable IMBECILE. I hope one day to interview his KANDY ASS!!
Quite sincerely...MUD
"NOW...Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan!!"
Wuhan Flu PORKulus IV looks even more wasteful and insidiously Marxist in nature than the previous III PORKuluses. RATS & RINOZ are to be expected to sign onto such Waste, Fraud, and Abuse, but will theDonald sign yet another one...or is this where he makes the RIGHT decision to VETO PORKulus IV in the name of the American taxpayer...MUD
"NOW...Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan!!"
Hey there Pete...how the HECK are you doing, elder statesman? They got you wrapped up in that Boy in a Plastic Bubble sorta way? You take care of yerself and I name you and Rush in my daily prayers. Need you BOTH for the long haul.
Utmost regards...MUD
BTW...was sittin there in the Head, contemplating Life while lightening the load...when outta the BLUE, I figgered out the solution to all that National Debt we owe the Chi-Coms and thought since America is apparently all about spending money we do NOT have, lets get those printing presses humming and pay off every single dollar we owe the Chinese and say, "Thank you very much but now America owes a National Debt to ourselves...and Fuck You Very Much, Chi-Coms!!"
"NOW...Devolve Power Outta the Federal Leviathan!!"
