The Republican Covid Plan


Stimulus Check: $1,000 instead of $1,400. (and they complained Biden didn't offer a legit $2k)
Unemployment Insurance: $300 instead of $400 per week.
No monthly child benefits
No $15 minimum wage

What's another $600B at this rate? So stupid.

reply

As usual you pick and choose what suits you! You apparently disregarded the following:

"Our proposal also includes economic relief for those Americans with the greatest need, providing more targeted assistance than in the Administration's plan," the letter reads. โ€œWe propose an additional round of economic impact payments for those families who need assistance the most, including their dependent children and adults."

BTW, Republicans are attempting to get the Democrats to use common sense, if thatโ€™s ever possible, by not sending relief funds to those making over $300,000.00...that would be $300 Thousand!

Their narrative has crumbled, and the new president hates their agenda. There's nothing left to do but cherry pick what's left of the empty bush.

Dementia Joe said he would give everyone $2000 if they voted for him.

President-elect Joe Biden told Georgia voters on Monday that $2,000 stimulus checks would be sent out to Americans right away if the state voted for the Democratic candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in Tuesday's US Senate runoffs.

reply

I like how you're reiterating the first line of my OP.

reply

Yeah, Lyin Joe said $2000. Just going by what he said. Joey needs to step up to the plate and deliver what he promised.

reply

If only Joe said Mexico would pay for it, or only 15 people would die from it, then he could've gotten a pass.

Or did he need to condone the idea of killing Obama and Hillary, and shooting Pelosi in the head?

reply

He also promised they'd go out on the first week "once the roadblock had been removed," suggesting it be done with budget reconciliation. Now it's bipartisan again all of the sudden, first week long gone.

reply

True, but that's because Biden is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If they go reconciliation, Biden is lying about unity. If Biden chooses bipartisanship to work with republicans, Biden is lying about passing stimulus checks on time.

reply

YOU SEEM TO BE MAKING A LOT OF EXCUSES FOR THE PRESIDENT... AND SO SOON AFTER GETTING THE JOB TOO...๐Ÿค”

reply

I made the same excuse for Trump when he called for $2k checks in December. It wasn't up to him. It was up to Mitch.

But unlike you republitards who shit the bed trying to blame dems, I'm not passing the blame on republicans here. I'm willing to blame House dems for not doing reconciliation.

As for our other conversation that you bitched out on, why don't walls work?

reply

IM NOT A REPUBLICAN...YOU CANT GRASP ONE SIMPLE THOUGHT.

YOU SOUND RIDICULOUS.

reply

You keep pretending to make a point. And then when tested on it, you bitch out and move to something else.

Republitard Kowalski the spineless turd has resorted to trolling because his beloved Trump lost.

lmao

reply

LMAO...YOU HAVE A LOW OPINION OF ME?...THATS GREAT NEWS.

reply

I have an accurate opinion of you.

Republitard Kowalski the spineless turd has resorted to trolling because his beloved Trump lost.

reply

THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN TRUMP SUPPORTERS ARE YOU ANTI TRUMP PEOPLE...BOTH SIDES NEED TO BE PUT DOWN.๐Ÿ™‚

reply

The only thing worse than you Trump supporters are the automatic Biden haters who whine that he didn't fix the country in his first week. Both need to be put down. ๐Ÿ™‚

reply

Kowalski, the only thing worse than talking to an alt left Democrat lemming is talking to a wall...er, on second thought...a wall has more substance! This lemming you are replying to resorts to name calling when losing ground. Give it up...there is no hope for this one who is in line to receive not a bronze, not a silver, but a GOLD ring through the nose! Yay!

reply

Wouldn't matter anyway since the left are going for reconciliation mode where it only needs a 51 vote to push their 1.9T plan. I wonder why the US just doesn't print more money. They got unlimited amounts from thin air during crisis. No one would be the wiser.

reply

As they should. Biden is going to get criticized either way.

Either he chooses bipartisanship by working with repubs and is called a liar for not passing the stimulus in time...

Or dems use reconciliation and Biden is called a liar for not unifying the country.

It's a no-win scenario.
