Re: Senate Republicans Refuse $2000 Stimulus Check
Im confused...didnt they pass this is the first place when it was 600 + all the pork?

Then they only changed the 600 to 2000, and that is what these guys refused? so it is only the 600 to 2K they refused?

Or am I completely mistaken, and they added more pork with the 2K than there was when it was 600
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78601779


Since you’re Canadian..

The House starts the bill, votes & sends it to the Senate.

They vote or rewrite and hash it out with the house.

Then Vote and send it to the President.

He can pass or veto or line item remove stuff and then pass it.

There is further recourse if the House or Senate get grumpy about that.
But that rarely get used.

All that is called checks and balances.

Re: Senate Republicans Refuse $2000 Stimulus Check
There are only two choices for managing the population in a process that cannot be stopped - soften the blow, pass out the money, a soft landing and elimination - or go the GOP route, pull the entire rug out, every man for himself, and the bullets fly - and with such a move, the GOP and their faction will be the first to be exterminated as the desperate masses - hungry and raging - overcome and enact old fashioned justice on those deemed to have fucked them. If anyone thinks these GOP senators and congressmen have the kind of security that can save them, think again. The hands are reaching for the holsters right now as they throw people into the maelstrom.

So they are fine with giving money to foreign countries, but not US citizens

500 billion dollar for Israel is about $3.33 per taxpayer

I'd gladly give one hundred times that amount per year ($333)

500 billion to isreal isn't going to the people

500 billion to the US, well 128 million received stimulus checks, that would be 3906 each

So Trump played right into the democrats hands. So the house will pass the 2k amendment to the bill tomorrow and it all goes on the senate GOP for stopping it.
 Quoting: NDFarm


No he didn't he saved the middle class.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76884809


He did no such thing. The middle class has largely been gutted. By cajoling them to support the GOP-aligned rich, who have no intention of 'sharing the wealth' being hoarded as the population is forced into total pauper status, the middle class receives what? Protection? Wealth? No. They are what, in military terms, are called the bait to be eaten - while they make way with the loot.

Scrap the unemployment and give everyone $3,000 to $5,000 to hold over until the vaccine has been distributed to the working class. If someone says that isn't enough then too bad. I've been living off of less with reduced wages and no unemployment with a measly one time $1,200 check...so can everyone else. Or we can shut it all down and nobody gets anything, I'm perfectly fine with that one too...lets see how long this fucked up system can last with the peasants on the streets and burning everything to the ground LMAO
