Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution Thursday to for federal reparations that would amount to over 14 trillion

[livingston]

A number of House Democrats led by Rep. Cori Bush introduced a resolution Thursday to reignite a push for federal reparations that would amount to over half the U.S. GDP.

The resolution states that the U.S. has a 'legal and moral' obligation to provide reparations for the enslavement of black people and calls for $14 trillion to be paid - 'at least the amount of the black white wealth gap,' Bush told DailyMail.com during a press conference.

The entire U.S. GDP was $25 trillion in 2022. The U.S. is already $31.4 trillion in debt and lawmakers are currently engaged in tedious negotiations over where to cut the budget so they can raise the debt limit.


The $14 trillion figure is in line with the findings of Duke University professor and economist William 'Sandy' Darity, who estimates the wealth gap is in excess of $300,000 per person and there are roughly 40 million black people whose ancestors were enslaved in the U.S.

Biden, on the campaign trail, said he supported a study of the idea of reparations.

If it is so bad here, be glad your in the U.S.A. you are FREE to move back to the shithole your family came from; you piece of shit.

Only $14 trillion? Why not a jillion bazillion dollars? If we're making up numbers you should go for the gold!

At this point in time, nobody is old enough to have been a slave in the US.

That means. No reparations for you!

Unfortunately, the demographic for a majority of it has already been receiving Reparations in the form of Affirmative Action and generational Welfare... Here we will add Federal freebies to that what the States will do?

Hahahahahahaha ok!

But...

First the U.S. Govt must sue and obtain the Reparations $ from the African nation's and people who sold their neighbors into slavery. The Dutch Reading Company's crew never left the docks... When this administration is so keen on discovery of Root Cause liability in order to fix a problem, why is this part of the entire subject ignored? Also, if Reparations are paid, does families have to reimburse the Govt for previous services rendered and also sign off on any future services? No double dipping! The Federal Govt will extract payment for services when a citizen dies should they have had the need to use them like nursing home, palative care, etc. WTC and Victims of Terrorism who have legitimate claims to Govt funds must sign away any other compensation, etc. Same theory, no double dipping.

So the story then must be, if accepting ANY firm of Reparation, this citizen, their offspring , then is not entitled to receive ANY govt assistance, funding, SS, etc., as they're being provided for, not only current, bit past and future generations!

Is this part of the discussion...?

If not they why not?

Once the Lotto winners blow all their $, what stops them from wanting or feeling they're owed more? That the govt didn't prepare them to handle such windfalls and therefore is responsible to replace the $, etc... Because that's what's going to happen! It is a never ending folly, a joke and a ruinous affair.

See what dumping a few Trillion of unproductive $ into the economy has done... The U.S. will become a third world country overnight should such a vast amount be entertained...

Guess the THC having such high content in this shit they sell today is having an effect, because even these misfit politicians can't think straight!

Lmfao!

Then I hope they have the $14 TRILLION FROM THEIR OWN POCKETS to hand it out. I’ve done nothing to anyone ever. I’m fact the black family across the street I’ve helped them clear the end of their driveway a few times without so much as a thank you or a hello ever from them. They barely wave if I wave or say hi. So just like my other three white neighbors I stopped helping for the same reason I will not be helping them next season either. Is it so hard for anyone to say thank you these days?

She and this human piece of shit....a non voting member of Congress from the US Virgin Islands, are likely guilty of more treasonous felonies against the Republic, that I might be able to count....

It goes without saying, that reparations for slaves and descendants, are as dead as a rotting sperm whale, lying on the beach in New Jersey. The Majority rules in the Republic and 70% of the population say "NFW".

Pretty soon the turd world illegal invaders are going to be demanding reparations too.
I don't know for what reason, but the left as always will come up with something.

The FSA is getting larger and larger by the day.

 

[Bigfoot]

The EBT card is no longer good enough for them. Now they're demanding millions of dollars per person just for starters. What's so stupid about all of this is that they are actually serious LOL.
You couldn't make this shit up.

Aside from this reparations nonsense being just that, nonsense.... most people who have no money are that way because they suck at managing money. If you take someone who is 45 years old and has been living paycheck to paycheck their entire lives, and drop $3 million in their bank account, what do you think they're gonna do with it? Put it in a high yield savings account? Make some smart stock investments? Go entrepreneur and start a business? Nope. Not a fucking shot of any of those. They're gonna buy a stupid huge house, some expensive cars, clothes, shoes, jewelry and a Bengal Tiger for a pet. In a couple years when the money runs out they're foreclosed on because they can't afford the upkeep and taxes on the house, and the rest of their depreciating assets are seized and sold at auction to pay their tax lien.

And then back to being a line cook at McDonald's or a welfare bum.

If reparations would not spark a race war in this country, nothing else could.

She literally did not have the cash.

Not to mention my families came here around WWII so we had nothing to do with enslaving people ever.

Did you not benefit from the work of others?
Did the slaves not benefit from moving here? Their ancestors have or we wouldn't have A border problem.
You pay the reparations, you and extended families have been reaping and not sowing.

I’m not so sure it’s fair to say the slaves benefited from moving here. Yes the USA is in better shape than most of Africa but it’s still not fair to take people from their homes and force them to work for free. Many died before they ever got to see this benefit you mention here.
Yes this reparations BS and the left have gone way, way overboard just like the trans BS has.
