Closing Thought–04Jan21
This is what Bernie had to say about the pittance stim checks on the floor of the Senate…..
Sorry it is a bit lengthy but it is well worth watching……
I agree with Bernie….the smallness of the checks is pathetic but as they say “every little bit helps”….my favorite thought is….
“All of a sudden, Mitch McConnell is ‘worried’ about giving a $2,000 check to someone who ‘doesn’t need it,'” Sanders tweeted Thursday. “That’s funny. He had no problem giving a $560 million tax break to Sheldon Adelson who is worth $34.3 billion. Total hypocrisy! Let the Senate vote on $2,000 now, Mitch.”
It will be interesting to see how the pandemic stim plays out in 2021.
The one thing I think will appear once again…..fiscal conservs without Trump will find their moronic voice.

Mine was in my checking account days ago. Every little bit helps.
Mine too and yes it does. chuq
Hypocrisy is definitely the ‘buzz word’ that sums up 2020!
Best wishes, Pete.
That and pandemic chuq
Another insanity which shows how far out of touch they are with desperate Americans is that they call it a stimulus check because people will spend it to stimulate the economy and start things on an upward spiral. I don’t think $600 will stimulate millions of people to buy a new car or start an airline or even get a lawn mower. People are 9 months behind on their utility bills and millions face eviction despite those alleged eviction prohibitions. If you have not paid your auto insurance you got your driver license suspended, got put in jail if you got pulled over, owe fines for that plus more fines to get it reinstated. What’s $600 going to do for families who are already in homeless shelters or living in their car ? Of course many won’t have to worry at all. They died because they could not get their medicines and keep health insurance premium paid and therefore did not have their chronic illnesses monitored regularly.
And yet massive defense spending is somehow a good idea…..time to realign….chuq
