Given the tax breaks large corporations have already received throughout the years, I can understand the consternation from the Sanders/Warren camps and like you, I don't know the details of the stimulus plan at this point, but my point is it's a helluva lot greater than what Obama had to do, and the Republicans at the time were painting our children's children into poverty before they were born. Remember those debt clock the cons in the forum were posting every few days? Now there is one hold out in the senate that refuses to acknowledge the stimulus plan and that's Moscow Mitch. He can't bring himself to call it a stimulus plan; he calls it a coronavirus relief program! If that's his idea of a relief program, I'd hate to see his idea of a stimulus plan...Originally Posted by James Brown
I don't know anything about the details of the plan negotiated last night. I do know that the constant squawking about corporate welfare from the Bernie/Warren crowd is largely unjustified. For example, I believe the 2008 TARP program stimulus eventually made the US Treasury 15B, after the loans were paid back. Maybe the much bigger Covid-19 stimulus is structure differently? I don't know. But loans to distressed industries right now seems like a very good, and hopefully low-risk, move by the Government.

China should bear serious economic repercussions for it's malfeasance and Trump should suffer a landslide loss in November for his.Originally Posted by James Lacey
There is no doubt that China bears some responsibility, but that in no way absolves the Trump administration for causing the slow-motion train wreck we are currently witnessing in our own country. They had plenty of time to prepare and plenty of time to act.
For example, why won't Trump just go ahead and put into effect the DPA? He has told us he has, but all available evidence is he has not. The continued lying and misinformation is no surprise, but why delay it any further? Is it because the hardest hits are in CA and NY right now, and he wants to punish Pelosi and Schumer? Is he buying time to ensure his friends and donors in the private sector have time to benefit financially? Is he saving it for the swing states? Is it because he wants to be able to loudly proclaim that free-markets provided and federal intervention wasn't necessary? Whatever it is, it is criminal that we still don't have enough testing or medical supplies in place. Trump is lethally incompetent, and I don't believe anything coming out of this administration unless it's coming from Dr. Fauci.
Fort Worth just closed all but essential services; groceries, pharmacies, and necessary medical facilities are all that remain open. I have to give props to Betsy Price for making this call. Undoubtedly, the suburbs in and around Fort Worth will be conforming to similar actions.

Richard did not reply in real time. So, according to someone we all know, that must mean he is hiding under his desk shaking like a scared puppy! Obviously Rich totally terrified by the intellectual butt kicking you just laid down.
