We need to lose the term "taxpayer's" money. Do insurance companies call the premiums they collect "policy holder's money"? Does Com-Ed call their revenue "customer's money"?  Granted, there is a difference. I could decline to pay my utility bills and just freeze to death. At least I would not go to jail.
 
Still, tax revenue collected by the government becomes the government's money. Besides, in 2019, less than 80% of the budget was funded by tax revenue. 2020 is much worse -- 50%?   

I like.

Nothing pisses me off more than someone in the casino who is winning saying they are playing with the House's money. If you won it, it's yours now.

This board was a lot better when Judge Judy was not posting.  I'd tell him to flush his head in the toilet, but he probably has an outhouse because "Da Gubermint is trying to control too much!"

Of course you’re gonna play dumb and go to extremes. Much like the Progressives. The government has integrated itself into way too much of our lives. They need to take a step back. But honestly, the agenda of the Progressives is to literally control every aspect of your life and make you dependent on them for everything. It’s a power and control thing.

Actually, it is socialists that go to the extreme of centralizing and collectivizing everything.  The other extreme is laissez faire / predatory capitalism. Both fail. I dunno about progressives. 

I personally support a middle way; a mixed economy. That means free markets in sectors where free markets work and central planning for sectors where that works.  Five  areas -- education, healthcare, transportation, public safety, and public utilities -- call for at least some central planning. Maybe count environmental conservation as a separate 6th area.

Hey, he might be🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t try to or need to be the smartest person in the room like you.

It’s almost like you’re overcompensating for something else.

So I ask....why would Pelosi and Democrats want it in there then?! 🤔
This is why it's in there.
The Dems will use a Republican "no" vote to present the argument that the Republican has absolutely no interest in putting $1400 in your pocket, or helping small businesses blah, blah, blah.
Any Democrat voting "no" understands that they will be primaried heavily by Pelosi or Schumer in that person's next election.

"The House narrowly approved" .......
lol.

And constituents can read pronouncements like this, instead of being informed about Pelosi's train, Schumers bridge, or the other 90% of the bill not related to the "Covid relief bill".

Senate version eliminated the NY to Canda bridge and the south of SF mass transit that Trump supported.  All 50 Repubs still oppose, but Murkowski is wavering. Repubs now trying to slow it down with procedural tactics. Hope to delay it past expiration of unemployment etc and then blame Dems.

As the old saying goes, it's far easier to obstruct than create.

The Turtle taught the Democrats a lot in 2009.  Let’s see how much they learned in 2021.

My plan is to take my $1400 and get 2 girls at the same time.

That's a stimulus.  Stimulates the fuck out of me.

money well spent IMO
