Congress Agrees to 2.3 TRILLION Spending Package,

[livingston]

Jumping Ju Ju Bones, Congress Agrees to 2.3 TRILLION Spending Package, 900 BILLION COVID Bailout Plus 1.4 Trillion Omnibus Spending
CTH knew Pelosi and UniParty leadership were going to use the 2008/2009 TARP approach to construct the scale of their COVID bail-out package, but we had no idea they were going to use the EXACT SAME amount… The UniParty is flying high tonight.
According to recent reports (which seem accurate) congress has just agreed to the largest bailout and budget combined spending bill in history. The seriously sketchy COVID “relief” (insert term “bailout”) package is $900 billion, and they are throwing in a $1.4 Trillion omnibus spending bill… This is literally identical to what Pelosi and crew did when Obama was coming into office in 2007
how can people not see what is going on here? 2020 is an exact replica of 2007 with COVID taking the place of TARP. And… to top it all off, we have omnibus spending bills replacing the federal budgetary process all over again. FML
COVID crisis 2020 replaces the housing/banking crisis 2008.
Pelosi repackages the TARP strategy as a COVID response.
States are bailed out in 2020 like the Too Big to Fail banks in 2008.
Union leadership benefit as they did in the 2008 operation.

…And the great reset begins.

CTH knew Pelosi and democrat leadership were going to use the 2008/2009 TARP approach to construct the scale of their COVID bail-out package, but we had no idea they were going to use the EXACT SAME amount... The UniParty is flying high tonight.

What's a few trillion this way or that? It's all funny money or, if you will, "fake" money.

While we're wondering what is going on with money so devalued you can't afford the wheelbarrow to carry it in...the man behind the curtain is still rat fucking the country.

Political theater to hide the real crime - bald-faced treason.

 

[MikeyCNY]

This seems appropriate:



Edit to add: Last "stimulus" I bought a SIG 365XL, paid off my car early and put the rest towards mortgage. This time it'll probably be another gun, if I can find one..

 

[Plater1]

Will Rand Paul vote for this or will he get Covid again and miss the vote?

 

[Cooolone]

Fucking politicans with their arm up to their elbow in your pocket!!!

Who do you think pays for all this pork shit...!?

What a fucking joke!

They all cry about the Constitution when they really don't submit to working within governmental constraints anyways. It's all just do whatever the fuck we want, who's gonna stop us mentality because they exist in a bubble of impunity! Is amazing ...

 

[Saltwater60]

If anything all of that money should have gone right to the people not a pittance here and there.

 

[spat]

At this point run away inflation is almost a given.

Borrow what you can boys, the dollars you'll pay it back with will be worthless.

 

[tirwin1]

Why not a kajillion bazillion dollars? If we're going to bankrupt the country just make up all the numbers.

How on earth any sane legislator can vote for this is beyond me.

It's sad because if you have read anything about day to day life in a high inflation environment you would want to avoid it at all costs. The disruptions are just enormous.

That's their plan. It's a fact. They are counting on inflation, the impact of inflation destroys working citizens' finances and savings but its devaluation of deficits / debt empowers politicians and keeps the shell game going. It is evil ruthlessly picking more winners and losers. The cost of living will soar. The mature workforce who earned defined benefit pensions or saved in IRAs over a lifetime are screwed.

"How on earth any sane legislator can vote for this is beyond me."

Because they don't give a rats @$$ about anyone except at voting time or if enough $$$ is going on their table. We..as in the working class, are screwed and can/will do zip about it because most will find a way to cope with higher taxes or having to adapt to a new language. The people spoke 4 years ago and in that time the "system" has silenced the "people" as the recent election shows. Bidoon and son might as well give the "key to the Country" to the chinks.

On a side note..the entire world is financially stressed..millions have died...and china gets a free pass. If that isn't money talking..I don't know what is. Bidoon and the media are silent and can only discuss climate change and gun control..oh...people control that is.

Well the text of the bill is not ready for voting. The media reports I have seen are 900B not that it is a small amount but it is smaller than the 2.3T.

900 billion is just the Covid Relief piece of the huge omnibus budget legislation agreed to.

Ahh that is what I missed. Did they pass a CR to keep the govt open?

 

[prambo]

IIRC, a CR was included, but at this point we'd be better off with ALL.GOV shut down and the bureaucrats on indefinite furlough.

~ The total combined package is over $2.3 TRILLION

I hope Trump vetos it.

Yup same package in agreement

Under the anti-constitution, socialist progressive, anti-energy, economy-crushing, upcoming Democrat administration: STAGFLATION in 3.....2.....1....

When lead and brass are more valuable than gold, you'll know we've hit bottom.

 

[Jmac00]

we saw this coming, Lord Andrew of Covid MUST HAVE A BAILOUT to "balance" his $62 billion dollar financial hole. All the blue states are going to get a bailout

want to end this bullshit ~~~~~ GO TO WORK, OPEN THE ECONOMY, thats all that needs to happen

 

[Apeman]

That's the worst part of these. All the bullshit extras. Most of us here agree that the country shouldn't have been shut down. But they did it and now they need to help people. What they don't need to do is fund anything other than unemployment, stimulus and assistance for businesses that were shut down.

Hahahahaha!

We need to have a "Quote of the Day" thread and this would be today's WINNER!!!

I'm requesting my stimulus be paid in powder and primers.

You can still blow your nose and wipe your ass with it.

Nobody is offering that much money.

 

[Phazer]

In 1923, children in Germany were playing with stacks of German Marks. The blocks of money and wooden blocks were probably of similar value.





We may get to see hyperinflation here, too.

At that point, we'll be on a barter system. Only things that you can eat, drink, wear, drive, or shoot, or skills that you can trade for those items, will have value. Once this occurs, there will be a whole new group of non-essential, non-productive, people who find that they have nothing of value to offer society (ex/ actors, politicians, financiers, stock traders, lawyers, reporters, newscasters, professional athletes, etc). At that point, the plumbers, electricians, miners, farmers, and mechanics will be kings.

Per the liberals I was arguing with you are completely wrong and you can print as much money as you want until we’re at full employment. Until full employment no inflation occurs. I just laughed and provided many articles that were verified to the contrary. They provided some stupid YouTube video with zero source on an unrelated topic.
People are clueless is the issue. They say corporations run America no actually they own America according to who holds our debt. They are stupid and are ok with incurring debt to redistribute the wealth and social programs not knowing large corporations and big banks own this country. I laugh my ass off regularly.

So a few pounds of powder and 1000 primers? Or will the government give you a rain check because they can’t find it?

The more I watch the news, the more that I think our country really is run by the "useless people" exemplified by the Golgafrinchans in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
