[Cyclonemom]

At least you get your SS. My generation will likely never see a dime of ours.

 

[hiwall]

Hasn't said anything about $1200 stimulus like last time?

He does not have the funding for those checks without Congress.

 

[West]

Thinking the bigger story is the address wasn't on the MSM. For now.

 

[Cacheman]

Absolutely no Democrats tweeting right now, Democrats twitter chatter is like a blackout.

Every DNC Media reporters I've watched is speaking so frantic they can't hardly make any sense but not one has said Trump isn't doing anything. Some are making no sense. It's been very entertaining watching them when blindsided and unprepared. Once again proving they really aren't all that smart without already having the talking points.

Damn. I had hoped for that $1200 to help pay my fall house taxes. Having everything delivered plus the privateering inflation in prices and need to prep for continued CA lockdown has undercut my limited (retiree) budget. No, Donald, not everyone is invested in the stock market or will benefit for capital gains reform.

I am curious as to how they are going to pay for current retiree SS. We are already in excess demand over payroll tax money coming in to pay existing benefits and dipping into the so called "lock box" reserves. These reserves were borrowed to fund the National Debt and are virtually unavailable so regular revenue has to be used . So where is the money for SS going to come from?

that money has been gone a long time

i did some digging and the dems were wanting a $1200 stimulus check per person in each household, repubs wanted a repeat of $1200 per adult under $75k a year filing seperate and $2400 per couple under $150k plus extra for kids again. dang, ghuess we will have to wait and see what happens after congress comes back. mightbe a long wait for that 2nd stimulus check

because muslims with 5 wives and twenty kids and illegal immigrants with family in El Salvador

Why isn't the MSM (or anyone) asking Demoncrats to explain why they are opposed to Voter ID? I'd love to hear their answer.

Haven't you heard their answer? They've said it thousands of times. It's voter suppression, especially of the minorities.

I don't think that's the reason, however.

We know the reason, right?

Build an unassailible democratic polity for all time. At least, that's my guess.

Agreed, but I want to hear THEM explain how requiring ID equals "voter supression" but it does not equal..

• Driving suppression
• Welfare suppression
• Banking suppression
• Healthcare suppression
• Alcohol purchase suppression
• Car rental suppression
• Employment suppression (not that they particularly care about this one)
• Etc...

Ammo suppression.
Cigarette suppression.
Spray paint suppression.

And this is just the short list. There are many more reasons you NEED to ID yourself. But again, we KNOW why they're adverse to voter ID. They're not even trying to hide their fraud anymore.

Right.

White-out, suppression, need I.D. for that too. That's just ridiculous.

Third EO- $400/wk in Federal Unemployment

My liberal relatives in CA are pissed. They will only get $300/week if the EO stands since each state has to make up 25% of the $400. The feds are only covering 75% so if a state is having budget problems or having a demorat governor then the 25% probably ends up being $0.

They see Trump taking away $300 of what is theirs. They got used to not working a $20/hr job and earning more chilling at home.

 

[TammyinWI]

Well, will all of this kick in immediately, or will the "dems" "sue" and so it will be held up indefinitely, and no promised stimulus bill at all?

Considering all possibilities here.

Yeah, amazing how that works, eh?

Wow, this country is in trouble, and I was thinking that even before I read your post, wait-and-see.
