Agreed. Why don't the Israelis borrow from the Saudis?

Why do you single out Israel?

 

[Babagounj]

The wars were paid by increasing the opium poppy cultivation.

[rod]

So we are borrowing to give? Why don't these countries borrow it themselves?

They don't accept loans---they want free money or nothing at all. Nobody in their right mind ( our crappy legislators) will give them money.

[rod]

No one pays for it. We don’t have to. There’s always someone to borrow from.

The taxpayer ALWAYS pays for it in the end.

I get a kick out of Republican rage against this bill. They call this bill a liberal spending wish list. Well, that's what they got when they passed a 1.9 trillion dollar tax cut, that 50% went to the top 5%. A rich get richer and the poor get crumbs Republican wish list.

Biden's 1.9 trillion has 70% going to those making less than $91,000 and will lift 50% of children in poverty now, out of poverty.

Now each can say they've done the bidding for who get them elected.

Although, the effect of Biden's spending will do way more for the broader economy than Trumps, which mostly, again, ended up in the top 5% of the population. The rich save the poor spend; look for the economy by 2022 to be growing at 6%+ with faster wage gains than anything that occurred in the Trump admin.

They don't like the fact that that this is the most significant legislation benefiting the working class to pass in decades.

Since when? We haven’t paid for anything in my lifetime, no reason to start now. They’re just numbers on a computer, we can always make more.

I think its more for the non-working bums.

You don't pay taxes? That's interesting. It may take forever but you WILL pay for it.

Retired Teamsters disagree.

Taxes don’t fund spending. Taxes control inflation.

Yet, the Republicans are already selling the bill back in their home districts as great benefit to their small business and workers. The Republicans party is an empty bag.

He is racist and Anti-Semitic.
