NO! JUST NO! This insane level of spending due to the virus has set a dangerous precident for unprecedented levels of future spending. If we do this now, they will do it again for any percieved crisis. And with treasoncrats, everything is a crisis unless its illegal immigration, vote fraud or midle aged men who feel pretty today using the girls bathroom. Stop the insanity!!! I cant afford the inevitable tax hit or job loss.

This is why the dems want the people scared to live their lives. Keep everyone scared and indoors. No one working, keep breaking the government and get PRESIDENT Trump voted out of office. Problem is this is the time we need to keep PRESIDENT Trump in office.

Lockdowns have consequences. The Democratss need to consider that the next time they feel the need to destroy the economy for political gain.
Learn to live within your means, dummys.

Each day that goes by makes me wonder if this has all been planned for just this purpose. To rain money onto pathetically run "blue zones" that Demonrats have pilfered and corruptly managed into bankruptcy. The sole purpose of that is to get them re-elected because they will be voted out for abject incompetence.

Why do they keep on insisting that we inflate our economy?

What, don't they want to see how trickle-down economics works in real life when it doesn't provide enough tax revenues to support government workers?
They want to use the bailout to show them there are NO consequences to political decisions, that they'll always find a way to ensure government workers are to be protected at all costs.
Amazingly, the House Democrats are not in session, but likely have used a loophole to ensure the House "stays open" just technically, to guarantee they are all paid.
Most government pensions are paid by their pension fund,but if there isn't enough in the pension fund, then it comes out of the general fund, and that is paid before any other government service. They know the reduction in services, and employees, is going to be significant, but doubt they know the true extent at this time.

I will call my two spineless RINO senators and voice my opposition to Blue State bailouts. One might listen, the other loves to reach across the aisle and embrace Obambi like policies.

Honestly, I don't give a damn what Democrats want anymore. They are corrupt, dishonest and are interested only in getting power regardless of what it might do to the country. I see no way in the future to live alongside these people.

These trillions of dollars being printed and spent are only paper.
There is nothing behind them.
Isn't it bad enough that we are already trillions in debt that we just print more?
I can hear it now in November Trump printed trillions, and the ones screaming the loudest will be the ones who got the money

They all could get enough government money (taxpayer) and pay off everything their states, counties and cities owe and guess what? Within five years they would be right back in that same sinking boat they're in now. They're like junkies that just won the super lotto and everyone knows it.

The Democrats are only interested in sending as much federal money as possible to Democrat States and Democrat supporting entities. Forget about it!

Those blue states made messy beds. Now they need to live with the wrinkles. Why on earth should taxpayers have to bail out these irresponsible democrats?

I, for one, am sick and tired of reading headlines like, "Schumer and Senate Democrats DEMAND this, that or the other!" Republicans in the Senate need to remember how co-opperative and Bi-partisan the dems were when they had Reid or Daschle in charge!

Just say NO!
But they won’t. Maybe we start a betting pool on the date the republicans cave? I’ll take May 15th for $750 billion.

I personally know a public high school gym teacher in Illinois who makes $200,000 a year in retirement with a 3% ANNUAL increase. Is this what the average American taxpayer should be on the hook for libtards?

There is my second least favorite word "Demand" Well, I demand the House go back to work or We the People stop paying them. This must be a dream come true for Bernie.
And yes, it is all planned and this was a test run. All to stop the election.
