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
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.
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.

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
Well if it's any excuse, I used to protest LBJ in front of the WH while smoking doobies, and occasional going to Robert E. Lee HS in Springfield, VA. Heck of a long time ago.
I attended Keene Mill Elementary for 4-6 grade..Washington Irving for 7-8..and West Springfield HS for 9th grade before the Navy transferred my old man, the Captain, down to Virginia Beach..which was the perfect place to be a high-schooler.
Regards...small world. We usedta play yall in sports.
Think that some of my brothers & sisters went to Keene Mill el. I went to St. Michael's in Annandale.
I also went to West Springfield HS in my senior year '68. Believe that was the year when the school opened? There was a guy in shop class that brought a Model A with two transmissions in line, low gearing for plowing.
Used to make runs to the Country Store to buy beer, Burke? NOT in the mod A. My '60 Fairlane 500.
Actually was at Robert E. Lee for sophomore year, '66, then we moved towards west springfeld.
Remember looking at hertz shelby mustangs, and corvettes at dealers in Springfield as a HS squid, err kid. McDonalds hambergers 15 cents.
I usedta deliver the Penny Paper house to house for--LITERALLY--one penny per house. And you had to put the paper on each front porch and I usedta HATE going to certain houses with certain dogs who didn't cotton to me invading their porch space. Did that weekly for an entire summer...sheesh. They asked me to do it again the following summer but I had some lawns to mow by then and politely told them where they could stick their job...lol.
