Donald Trump seems to be combining HIS political future with the countries economic one…
The guy has seen the light …
I for one minute do NOT think this is about the country for Trump…
I do NOT think this is about the virus…
I DO think this IS about Donald Trump vs Joe Biden and the next four years…
The number $850 BILLION IS a YUGE number….
Trump and Republican’s are aiming the money at the COMPANIES NOT individuals…
The House Democrats have a $100 Billion bill passed and ready for the US Senate aimed at helping PEOPLE…
Typical, eh?
White House officials also want to include more assistance for small businesses and their employees in the legislation, the officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The talks have taken on more urgency as the economy has shown signs of careening into recession. The Dow Jones industrial average fell almost 3,000 points on Monday and showed signs of a slight rebound on Tuesday.
The $850 billion package would come in addition to another roughly $100 billion package that aims to provide paid sick leave for impacted workers, though the details of that legislation remain very fluid as it moves through Congress.
But there is emerging tension between the White House’s approach and the bills Democrats are trying to advance. White House officials are leaning hard into the idea of tax cuts and industry assistance, while Democrats have said their proposals are focused more on helping workers, health care providers, schools, and senior citizens…

This situation could cause a whole political seismic shift.
Libertarians and “big government is bad” conservatives are going to have a hard time explaining how everything should be left to the private sector and free markets.
jamesb says

Scott P says
Saw a great post today
“Just remember a lot of people you think aren’t worth $15 an hour are keeping you fed and supplied right now”
As Jack often says–conservatism is bunk. This pandemic is going to lay that bare like no other instance I think.
Scott P says
Trump now says he knew it would be a pandemic all along.
Republicans you own this piece of shit.
And you all need to pay the price.
jamesb says
Folks????
Any money Donald Trump ‘gives’ ya?
You WILL pay back in taxes….
Just keeping it real….
My Name Is Jack says
I presume ,(although do not know) that it will be treated as taxable income.
However, to imply that it will all go to taxes ,isn’t true at all.
Once again, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
There is nothing “real” in what you’re saying.
jamesb says
Jack?

PERIOD….
It ain’t just from out of the air and certainly not from Trumnp’s pocket

The Senate coronavirus bill vote will be delayed after Republican Sen. Rand Paul pushed a doomed amendment.

He wants even MORE taxes from me…
