Actually, I applaud your charity. It’s just ridiculous to think of needing borrowed fed money to do it. This all seems to be funny to you. I think that’s sad.
Trump and his pals could have easily put up the money out of their own pockets.Quote:

If you think trump and his pals could have put up the money, then you have no idea how much 1.9 trillion dollars is.
It’s six thousand dollars for every man, woman, and child in America. But if it’s all funny to you, then I can’t help you.
His pals are all those who have a million dollars or more.Quote:

I'll settle for $1500AUQuote:

First you said this. "Trump and his pals could have easily put up the money out of their own pockets." I showed you that was flat wrong. Then you said, "His pals are all those who have a million dollars or more." I showed you that was flat wrong. Unless, of course, you really think he has two million "pals". Then you decide I was insulting you when I pointed out that your math knowledge is faulty. It's not an insult. I'm simply pointing out that your thinking is wrong because your math is flawed. And even worse, you still have not answered why we should extort money from honest people in order to give you money you don't need. And I also notice that you have not suggested that the government take any money from you, now a wealthy person by your own description, in order to pay for this looney bill.
Instead of complaining, start thinking clearly. There are only a few hundred thousand people who make a million a year or more, and this is far, far short of the two million you need. This is not a joke. Think seriously about it.Quote:
There's the insult again. You just can't stop, can you.
Trump's pals -- used facetiously -- are all those who have a million or more in the bank, invested in stocks, in property, etc. I'm so very sorry I have to explain this to you. Now I see you really are, 100%, a literalist.Quote:

Can't we give your money to people to give to dog shelters? Or is that level of sacrifice only for others?
That's why I don't respect your views. You don't think. You just repeat the words you hear from others. It is always, always someone else who must carry the load. It is never, ever you.
This has nothing to do with me. It's so the wealthy can help those less fortunate in a way, en masse, they would have never considered before.Quote:

The wealthy already pay over 85% of income taxes, so your point is ridiculous. And to ask them to sell their homes and cash out their investments to give money to people like you to support dog shelters is lunacy. It is just so typical for a non-thinking, liberal dem.Quote:

And just as I suspected, now that it suits you, you are back to your "modest income" motif. You said a week or two ago that you have a six figure income, so why wouldn't we ask you to sell your house?
It's completely sickening. Talk with someone else. If you can't figure out that making people sell their homes so you can give money to a blasted dog shelter is completely stupid, then I can't help you.
As usual, you totally misread and misunderstood my comments.Quote:

Sure I did.
Animal shelters was your reference.
You voted to raise taxes on yourself. Remember?? Check out your reply to this post.

Animal shelters include far more than dog shelters. I've never had a dog, nor do I ever want one. I'm a crazy cat lady, for years have rescued neighborhood strays/ferals and help my local cat shelter.Quote:

Dog shelter or animal shelter, the point remains the same.

Since this topic is actually about press conferences, heard today that Biden has now gone 48 days without one. That is the longest period for a new pres in over a hundred years. It sure seems to be some confirmation that he's just not up to it mentally.
I don't deny that. It's not a regular income, but is fixed -- and being put to good use.Quote:

On borrowed money, the question arises, if this can be done now because of a virus, why couldn't it have been done earlier, after all it is only OPMQuote:

Precisely the point. If we can end poverty by spending 2 tril a year of borrowed money, then why not do that every year? And if we can't do that every year, then can you guess what will happen to those millions when the borrowed money stops flowing? It's a completely stupid idea. Even worse, it compounds the problem by convincing poor people that a government check is the way out of poverty.Quote:

If liberal dems are really serious about giving poor people money to get them out of poverty, then they would take a sizeable portion of their personal incomes and give it to a poor person. They could buy a poor person health insurance. They could send a poor kid to college. Why do they always wait for the government to do these things? That they don't do it is certainly good reason to question their motives.
Read this today and thought it was interesting.
Representative Jim Jordan reminds Americans how stupid this administration is. He said, "We have open borders and closed schools. We can't build a wall at the border, but we can build a wall around the Capital. We can't protect the country, but we can protect the politicians."
Where does that government money come from?Quote:

The 1.9 tril for this bill is borrowed/printed money. There is no tax money to support this. Tax monies have been in short supply since Bush 2 took over. It's why we are approaching 30 tril in federal debt, amounting to about 90K for every man, woman, and child in the country.
so your theorem is that those receiving the money owe it
Where did I say that?Quote:
so your theorem is that those receiving the money owe it
You said every man woman and child owes $90K
Do they teach reading in Aussie land? I said our debt amounts to 90K for each one of us. I never said anything about people receiving the money would owe it back. You just completely missed it.
"your theorem is that those receiving the money owe it"
No I was just calling you on your rhetoric, you need a course in comprehension or maybe sarcasmQuote:
