President-elect Joseph R. Biden said Thursday that there’s almost no such thing as spending too much money right now given the “twin crises” of the coronavirus pandemic and the associated economic fallout. “There’s no time to waste. We have to act, and we have to act now,” Mr. Biden said in a speech in Wilmington, Delaware. “We cannot afford inaction.” Mr. Biden unveiled additional details about the $1.9 trillion rescue package he released Thursday.(Snip) He said “a growing number of top economists” are saying the long-term debt situation will be more stable “if we seize this moment with vision and purpose.”

We just spent how many trillions under PDT. What exactly is the objection? As some of us noted, Republicans/conservatives have no room to grouse. The issue is moot.

Joe has had decades of practice to master the dark art of spouting grand descriptions of programs that deliver crumbs to the peasants while delivering millions to the big guys that then shovel much of it back to the Democrats. It's like a giant Moebius Strip of cash.

I'm not the least bit surprised that the Demon-Rats plan to spend like drunken sailors at a whore house on a 3 day pass.
But I am shocked that Lyin' Joe Biden's handlers let him actually so blatantly admit it. They really need to reign him in and stick him back in his basement, or this is going to get really nasty!!!!

Deficit spending has been going on for decades. The deficits just keep going higher and higher on an unsustainable trajectory. Crash and economic catastrophe awaits.

They don't call Dems the tax and spend party for nothing. Wait until we pay for the New Green Deal and $5 a gallon gas.

There's only a few things that can eliminate scarring inside your body. The most effective is a supplement called Serrapeptase, which must be taken on an empty stomach. Will it work for Covid-damaged lungs? Maybe.

I guess the last PORKULOUS 'Relief' bill, which gave Trillions to foreign entities and Democ'RAT special Interests, while dropping a few crumbs, just enough to cover the 'Covid-19 Relief' label, missed some Democ'RAT special interests. This one will make sure that NewYawkCity and other cash-wasters will be Bailed Out by the White Working Taxpayers, as they are the Targets to be Fleeced Dry.
Look for the media description "Bill to fund Covid Relief and other purposes".... 98 percent going to the "Other Purposes", and the Media will NEVER tell how much and what Ratholes it disappeared down.
Regarding Unlimited Spending with Nothing to back it up:

Don't forget, there are trillions in 401k's, Roth and other investments congress can grab to lower the debt.

The federal government couldn't tax enough to cover their spending. This isn't going to change, it is going to get worse.

Currently there are 18 million Americans out of work because of COVID and coincidentally Biden said in his teleprompter read speech that he is going to create 18 million high paying jobs quickly, as he raises up the Federal Minimum Wage to $15.00 an hour. Something about all that does not equate correctly?

I complained about Trump's spending, and I will complain about this. Future generations are getting screwed big time.

The people can and will take care of themselves. Big business and the government bureaucrats will split up this money.

One used to be able to buy a candy bar for 10 cents, now it is a dollar and soon it will be $5. Soon the value of your savings will have decreased to only 20 percent of what it was.

Biden has his marching orders from the globalists. Print money nonstop. Devalue the US dollar. Tank the economy. Raise taxes on everyone. Drain retirement accounts. Purge conservatives from public life and discourse. Get the "re-education" camps ready. (See NY state's latest power grab legislation regarding government being able to indefinitely detain citizens who MIGHT be a public health risk as deemed by an anonymous government bureaucrat. And you may not attempt to leave. No soup, errr - Constitutional rights for you!)
How else can the US join the Great Reset as discussed at the World Economic Forum last year?

To see the future of all of this inflationary creation of money to go usdebtclock.org. It is staggering. Their algorithms are insanely accurate. The prediction leaves the notion of retirement as a potentially unrealizable dream.

We've already spent what, over $3 trillion on Covid relief, but like with every good Democrat, no matter how much is spent, it is never enough. They must always spend more.
