As of right now, every man, woman and child in the USA has a $67,000.00 debt with interest accruing. It is acting higher but I cannot find the numbers.

Just think: Everyone can work 12hr day 7 day wk for 10 yrs and get a bowl of rice once a day. Ya have to go to the city dump and find shoes and dead rats to eat along with some card board(if your lucky) to erect a cozy shelter for yourself.
That should clear up the debt real nice like.

student loan bail outs? glad its being blocked...
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77247258


Student Loans should be dischargable through bankruptcy like business are able to do. Going to college is a business decision.

It would solve a few problems.
Banks are not going to lend to everyone that can fog a mirror or takes basket weaving classes.

It would rid of those useless classes and drive tuition down.

Re: Why Republicans are Blocking a $2 Trillion Congressional Virus Stimulus Bill (List)
And all the while. Americans got ONE huge $1200 check and Canadians got $4000 each per month for over 6 months...
No, you’re not getting laughed at O_o

American people should DEMANDat LEAST $75000 each as back pay for this bullshit. Quadruple that for folks who lost their jobs or house, apartment or car or anything....
 Quoting: brian frees


If we do that, we need to audit every politician and sort out the ones who are dirty. Then, we take their money and give it to Americans. But don't stop there. Cut funding to all of the Socialized bullshit and let Americans decide for themselves how they will live on their own land instead. Use that money also.

That way, they pay for their crimes and Americans get that money and their freedom back.

I don't like the idea of being cut a check from a corrupt congressional *body as political process. It stinks of UBI.

There is a very simple way to fix this shit.
None of the politicians get a salary until they agree on an independent virus bill, you watch how quickly they could agree then!

OP, can I borrow that list?

It is my understanding that the bill also includes >
No voter ID
Legalizing Ballot harvesting
 Quoting: Moon&Stars


That wouldn't surprise me! Matter of fact at this point I'd almost be surprised not to see it.:doggie pass:
Feel free on the list.
 Quoting: 5lats


Banning voter ID is in fact, in heroes, which would make us the only country on planet earth that doesn't require an ID to cast a vote.

This bill also allows 501(c)6 to drain the PPP. That's Industry lobbyists main source of funding for superpacs. Basically money for multinational corporations, that was meant for small businesses.

Also in the Heroes bill is COBRA, which shovels money private insurance companies, even though the single payer system Dems love would be about one sixth the cost.

Also in this bill is the elimination of the salt cap deduction, which means the top 1% could write off their state income tax.

Which is interesting, because the whole deal was held up over a lack of state funding.

CORRUPT TO THE CORE.

Thank you for the list, OP. I want to eliminate, consecutively, three zeros and a comma from each of those, that's the funding level I'm comfortable with. If it's not enough, well, I didn't get a pony when I was a kid either.

And why are they not willing and able to have a single and separate bill for the American people for assistance and then argue over all that other nonsense separately?

I mean, imagine telling the American people, well we wanted to give you some more stimulus checks, but we need several months to argue over how much we are going to give to the Smithsonian. Soon as we agree on that, we'll get you some financial help.

Absolutely absurd that they can't have a separate Bill for stimulus alone. Shows their apathy, incompetency and insanity in how they do all things.

Clown World.
 Quoting: Pistis Sophia of the 13th Aeon


Trump asked Piglosi for a stand alone stimulus check bill and she refused. Why Trump hasn't brought that up at every rally and in every interview, I don't know. As usual, a missed opportunity.
In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined:

With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world,
And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor.
Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world
And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator.

 Quoting: thinking...


Pelosi's position is that the money should only go to the people she thinks vote for her. I'm thinking, "Why should ALL Americans have to pay higher taxes so a particular spoilt angry nobody with no business, accounting, or financial sense can get elected?"

I think businesses that fail should go bankrupt. It's good for the employees too. They probably weren't happy for years before the bankruptcy, with frozen salaries, and declining working conditions. When businesses fail, their stock goes to zero. That is an investible opportunity in the finance world. If there's anything left to salvage, the business gets bought out and restructured to be profitable. The people who failed to run the business get something too. Taxpayers are not disturbed. That's how it should be.

The alternative is people build bigger and bigger failing businesses and turning to Congress to pay for them with taxpayer dollars.

The TARP bailout and other bailouts of 2009 are not lawful. The people who took that money stole it.

Personally, I choose not to wear one because they are ineffective (scientifically demonstrated for, oh, decades) and, in many cases, dangerous for some. Though, I do live in a red state, which gives greater weight to personal choice more often than not, both currently and historically. I much prefer natural immunity and, well, breathing.

Oh, and I strongly agree with your assessment concerning corporations and TARP.

Ya know, from observation, we have an accountibility crisis in the States.

Corporations are not accountable, politicians are not accountable, systems and organizations, criminals, individuals both 'adults' and kids are not accountable. No one is held to account for actions any longer.
