House Democrats unveil new $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill

Democrats hope to vote on their latest coronavirus relief bill by Friday as Republicans downplay the need for more immediate spending.

$1200/person, including per kid, max of $6k

Extend unemployment's $600/week until January.

My first inclination is anger and disgust, but I'm trying to simply just not care anymore. If somebody figures out how let me know. I mean it. The democrats' vision for this country is just not the same as mine, not at all.

GROAN

I could sure use another $1200, tho.

Double that and I'd still be far from what every Illegal Alien costs me in services and hassles.

"MIGRANTS" GO HOME !!!

 

[Mr. terzmo]

I think I hear the Countries toilet about to flush.....the only thing to make this worse is trump not being re-elected

 

[BuffNiag]

No thanks.

 

[byron]

[tony]

They want Trump to say "no". Then he looks bad to all with their hands out. Another back door democrap attack against Trump.

Won't be able to afford anything when you get the bill (to pay for everyone elses handout) that will dwarf anything routed your way.

 

[masterswimmer]

Fuck it! If the assholes in power want to destroy this country for you young'ens but Trump gets reelected and we flip the House, then it's worth it.

I'm so sick of politicians (all of them) that my care factor is zero.

DILLIGAF

Hahaha you think Trump would say no to spending other peoples' money?

 

[GOYABEAN]

Boy the demturds hatred of this country runs deep

 

[Nevar]

Last I read In a Long Island Paper the demos want the ill eagles to get it as well.

To the tune of $3 trillion, I hope so.

Those that lost their jobs do need help. Some more than others because some people couldn't make enough to have a savings account. The states are responsible for shutting down all the "non essential" businesses which is hurting hundreds of millions of people. Problem is the states can't afford to help people - especially this bankrupt state. A lot of those businesses will not be able to reopen. The extra $600 in unemployment is actually hurting some businesses because their employees don't want to go back to work because they're making more sitting on their ass.

The idiots in charge don't have a clue on how to actually help those in need so they just throw money at the problem and hope it goes away. They don't want to look 2 years down the road and see how much this will actually hurt the country.

Good. Let them keep driving the bus on fire off a cliff. When shit implodes we can weed out the weak and hit the reset button.

 

[libertysnake]

What the fuck ever happened to figuring out a coordinated way for people to return to work? I still believe in the six feet of distance requirement, and the wearing of masks. But even with those requirements, it's not impossible to conduct business.

You're telling me we have one of the most technologically advanced times in history in our lap for contact-less communication and ordering, and we can't figure out how to do business with some distance and masks on? Bullshit.

They need to reopen shit. With restrictions, yes, but they need to re-open. The "free shit" parade needs to end.

I don't want us fighting over the scraps left from an obliterated economy. The reset button could take a very long time to come and be down a deep hole.

It's almost as if the democrats want a nation of serfs completely dependent on the government teat. Of course their allies in blue states will keep them closed to maximize the pain and justify continued stimulus packages until we get modern monetary theory and universal basic income through the back door.

Almost? That's poppycock! It's an absolute fact they want the serfs dependent on them. Just like they want to provide for illegals. Guaranty's their vote.

 

[Depick]

As if the hole isn’t deep enough.

 

[CaseHardened]

PRINT TEN TRILLION. I do not care.

BUT use every goddamn dollar to DEPORT DEPORT DEPORT !!!!

 

[PutnamCharlie]

Just heard all the shit in this bill and these people are f**king nuts. I cant believe what I'm hearing.

They do but why? They are not stupid. They've seen America for decades, they know the alternatives.

Why are they doing this? If the entire country becomes socialist being a socialist would no longer buy a vote.

They are certainly acting like they hate America.

whatever the democRATs dream up, it still has to get passed the Senate, the Senate can protect the President by vetoing the bill before it gets that far.
the real problem here, it's getting to the point where there are more people with there hands out looking for freebies, than people producing, this is a bad scenario that never ends well

You mean the Senate and President that just spent 2.2 trillion dollars a month ago?

Those fiscal hawks the ones you're referring to?

yep, but that was a President between a rock and hard place, now, if the president can open up the country, Pelosi's plan become moot

[Saltwater60]

I just can’t be bothered worrying about this. I’m sure it will pass because is has to. If not Trump won’t be elected.
No we can’t afford it but the tax increase I’ll get for my property maybe this will offset some of it.
I guess I’ll give me kids their portion

You do understand that Trump didn't have much of a choice, don't you?

No matter what Trump did, the Democrats would use it against him.

If he refused to shut down the country, the Democrats would have blamed him for every Covid-19 death out there, blared on the news every night.

If he refused to offer monetary help to people who are suffering under the shutdown, the Democrats would have hammered him for not caring about the poor, blared every night on the news.

As it is, he is trying to push the country to open back up, so we (the people) can start getting off the government teat. The Democrats are hammering him for that.

If he goes along with the Democrats to spend another 3 billion, or more, on government handouts, they will hammer him for that when this country is 30 Billion in debt instead of 20 something Billion. Then they can squash any attempt by the right when they point out how Obama practically doubled the national debt, because they can point to the Trump years and say he did the same thing and that will get blared on the news every night.

Pushing the country to open back up now is the correct, and responsible thing to do, and the Democrats know it, which is why they are fighting back. People are getting sick of the shutdown, and that gets the country back on the way back to some form of functionality. The Democrats are hoping the people won't see it that way, but we all know it is the correct thing to do or we won't have a country left.

But go ahead and tell me which one of these scenarios is wrong.

Big stimulus made sense 6 weeks ago. it wasn't implemented properly. Shocking, right? This $600/week unemployment that is giving a lot of people raises to be unemployed is a travesty of biblical proportions and utterly unforgivable. And stimulus on top of it. With an economy in a freefall how is it that some people are making off like gangbusters? The unemployment + stimulus means somebody making minimum wage before has basically a 100% raise to watch netflix.

 

[repete]

I'm against it but could go for it with the right bargaining. Say for every $500,000 billion the Democrat's have to agree to deport 1,000,000 illegal's! So three Trillion dollars = six million deportee's. Include that if they come back it's automatically 5 years jail!
