Quote HistoryQuoted: Wrong. We don't have the money. Why do people with kids get more? We'll just tax the oil/gas companies to pay for it. Not like people in cities will pay much of it, but will still get that sweet .gov check. Or whatever |

It really is just pandering to buy votes, no different, really, than the Republican legislators who put forth bills to give us national reciprocity or to remove certain items from the NFA.
They know full well that there's little to no chance of the measure actually going anywhere. When they go home to their constituents, however, they can act like they tried to do something, but were thwarted by the evil opposition who doesn't care about the common person. Make sure you vote for the guy who wasted his time on a dead-end measure so he can do the same thing next time, rather than doing something productive. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Why do you think any amount of money would curb the situation? Give people more money and things only get worse, not better. We are in this spot in the first place because we dumped too much money onto the economy among other things. Thats my point.. Why $100? why not $1000, $10,000.. It doesnt fkn matter anymore.. We are waaaaaay past fixing anything.. Not that we have the people in office smart enough to do so.. But we are way past gone as a country! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I would assume the idea is that you have to take kids to school, routine doctor visits, sports, day care, etc., resulting in increased expenses. Personally, I hope the idiots who proposed this are tarred and feathered in the street outside the Capitol. Yes, there is no accountability when the elites police themselves. Bring back the tarring and feathering!!!! There needs to be consequences for fucking over the country you’ve taken an oath to serve |

Or they could just lower fuel taxes... But, that wouldn't give the optics a check would.
Or they could give a deduction to those who actually own a vehicle, that file and pay taxes. |

I have a perfect credit system. Just give each voter who votes Democrat a $10,000/month stimulus. That should work better than buying voting machines.

So in a high demand, low inventory environment, the politicians are suggesting printing money in order to stimulate more demand?

Sending billions to Ukraine is also a waste of money, same with Israel, allowing illegals in and giving them "free" food/car/housing once they drop a anchor baby, so this is more wasteful spending if it goes through and it might since Democrats are in power. Money should be going towards our own border but that's impossible to get even a penny for from Democrats.

I was rewatching the A-Team from 2010 last week.
The MacGuffin of the movie was a set of printing plates for US Dollars and the threat was that someone could print up to a billion unbacked dollars and spend them into circulation. Could you imagine that? What a billion extra dollars would do to the economy?  Seemed pretty serious back then. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Because we have to drive more. Taking to & picking up from school, practices, games, gymnastics, horseback riding lessons etcetera. We have to pay more at the grocery store, more mouths to feed, due to higher commodity prices caused by higher fuel prices. We have to drive larger cars to fit our children in, no smart cars for us. More doctors appointments, dentist appointments, orthodontist appointments. Or because the (D) know the majority of large families are on some type of “assistance” & are attempting to buy more votes by funneling more money to their base. Found ONE of the problems LOL |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You think when it gets really bad that the people that invented fiat currency are going to allow alternate currency to exist if they don't control it? That was the whole point to begin with. Their are many competing currencies. While I recognize there is some risk of it being declared illegal, I still think it's a good hedge. As it gets bigger, longer lasting and more entrenched it gets more difficult to ban. It works globally, so restrictions in our country doesn't mean it's dead. I think the most likely course of action is the US does not outlaw it, but does make sure they get their tax cut when you go to use it or sell it. I recommend watching the MIT course on bitcoin and crypto currency. This administration appointed the professor who taught the course to head the SEC. |

Quoted: I hope this goes through. I'm all for accelerationism at this point. Link "Reps. Mike Thompson, D-California, John Larson, D-Connecticut, and Lauren Underwood, D-Illinois, have introduced the Gas Rebate Act of 2022. The bill proposed sending Americans an “energy rebate” or $100 per month with an additional $100 per dependent for the rest of 2022 in any month where the national average gas price exceeds $4 a gallon."

Quote HistoryQuoted: So: The Goverment is happy because they'll collect $200 a month per recipient/dependent in new taxes to fund the program. New Government Employees (a lot of Democrat voters) are happy because they were hired to process these stimulus funds. The Oil Companies are happy because now they'll raise the price of Gas to cover the whole $200/month plus a bit extra they can slip under the guise of 'we're just covering those taxes'. Non-Tax payers are happy because they're getting more money from the government (and extra to take little Jamie (born a boy, now transitioning to a girl) to their Psychiatrist/Gender Reassignment Surgeon appointments). Taxpayers are Fucked because they have to pay for all that crap and are only getting $100 'back'. I don’t think you fully understand. Go back and read how many of the fiercely independent responders here, are literally salivating over the chance for more free money. They All consider themselves “Taxpayers”. Go ahead and ask them. |

I recommend watching the MIT course on bitcoin and crypto currency. This administration appointed the professor who taught the course to head the SEC. Then it will be outlawed and be worth exactly as much as every other fiat currency that a government decided to un-make, but they will do it by standing on the dicks of every major technology based company and therefor it will be their idea, not the governments. So no accountability and no amount of voting harder is going to do anything about it. Also anyone that uses any type of coin will be a terrorist, because reasons, and all your government fiat will be seized because it may have come from terror coin...or russia. If you try to subvert the governments control you will be un-personed and the ACLU will cheer because civil liberties are so 90s. That's pretty much where we are headed. |
