My Penis is hungry Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Interestingly Oz spent far more than that, it aimed at lower income, job support was doubled - a bit of a problem, low wage people was better not to work than to work, some rent subsidized, access to super funds, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 In US, we have a concept called the trickle down theory (initiated during the Reagan presidency) where you give the money to the rich and it will trickle down to the poor. I'm afraid most of the stimulus money will go to the rich. It's a good thing that Trump is helping the lower income folks like me by trying to raise the check amount from $600 to $2000. The rich will probably get a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 The complete lack of backlash from Trump supporters about Trump wanting to give a sizeable stimulus check the same as the left of the Dem party shows you that its NOT and NEVER was about ideology. It's about power. Unbridled power. Trump was to the left of Hillary on a few things. Issues like social security, etc, that the Republican party are against maintaining but Trump supported and even wanted to improve on it. Same with a Trump version of national healthcare which he had no idea about but talked about it. The Republican party doesn't want to give a stimulus check. It runs counter to what they believe in. It runs counter to what Trump supporters say they believe in but will back it. The AOC wing of the Dem party wants it and Trump is aligned with them. Not a peep from his supporters. Because they only care about their guy having power. Do you know how gun control, national healthcare and any other liberal policy could pass? If Trump supported it. His supporters will go along. They are sheep. As long as he and others like him are in control is all they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 I have 3 observations. First, 100 percent Dems added pork to the stimulus package. Second, 100 percent GOP added it also. Lastly, 45 has as has his people add BS to plenty of bills. It's what Washington DC does on both sides. Its not good but its not one side only.
