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?
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 ......
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.
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!!
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
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!!"
Pretty sure the ghetto is full of Paultards...but no problem, y'all are notoriously ineffectual and irrelevant to the present debate. And while I absolutely disagree with Ron and Rand's Ostrich foreign policy, I am far more sympathetic to the Paul's professed fiscal conservatism and I wish there were more like them in Congress...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 remember when Burger King was Burger Chef and was located accross the street from the Giant grocery store. I was at West Springfield in 1978. We actually lived in Annandale for one year, renting until we bought the house just off Greeley Blvdd. Had no drivers license in NOVA...all my good car stories relate to Va Beach...lol.
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.
