The nearly uniform reaction appears to be: Are these motherfuckers high?

Its a nothingburger that needs a 2 billion $ bailout for personal friend billionaire.
Did I get that right?

Alright Inslee is talking about locking down Washington because the spread is beyond control.

Cuomo has deployed the national guard to New Rochelle.

About got this thing wrapped up folks lol.

A policy idea that is about as welcome as a fart in a hot car.

The good news is the number of uninfected is dropping every day. Each time someone gets infected we take them off the list.

Oh crap. He's talking again, after lunch with the Pubs. Watch the market.

So, once again, socialism bailouts for the mega-rich? Status quo?

 

[K1052]

Trump again compared it to the flu and said that it's going to "go away".

As Chomsky has always said, nanny state for the rich, tough love and market discipline for all of us.

In case there is any doubt that Trump views this as a political crisis (for him) not a health crisis:

Stocks exploding into the close on a (possibly) enormous stimulus that isn't defined, hasn't been negotiated or written into a bill, and has not passed either house. SMH.

Going to be a rough month out there.

I wonder where this "stimulus" is coming from...

 

[hal2kilo]

I wonder where this "stimulus" is coming from...

Deficit spending. Which would have been fine if Trump hadn't already sold the seed corn.

Taken out of the benefits of future Social Security recipients it seems.

The Social Security trust fund isn't real anyway so that part doesn't matter.

 

[K1052]

Options are 1) just add it on to the debt or 2) watch the GOP have an absurd time wasting battle about pay-fors that includes insane things like eliminating Medicaid then decide to just do plan 1.

Yea, I can't wait for my tax cut, which I will not get. Going to increase the SS COLA?

Stimulus?

You mean desperate plea to keep power?

 

[IronWing]

The number applied to the SS fund will have enormous political consequence when the Republicans rationalize cutting benefits.

Since it doesn't exist anyway why can't we just add 20 zeroes to it then? Problem solved!

 

[K1052]

Well yes since Trump isn't even bothering to disguise it as actual concern for anyone or anything besides himself.

Reality doesn't matter here.

Not trying to be a stickler but you seem to have accidentally forgot to also credit his fiscal conservative friends in Congress. He barks, they listen but still deserve credit where it is due.

just because it's not taken out of your paycheck doesn't mean you won't owe it on April 15, 2021.

my thought exactly. trump may be dumb as a roc (or possibly dumber), but i think even he recognizes that if the economy goes to shit, his ass is out in november.
