Well…I think I may have used this topic before, but I think it bears repeating and repeating and repeating….as the relief checks and child’s tax credit along with help for damn near everyone in the country except the rich starts to roll out, not one damn repub voted for help for regular Americans…they fall all over themselves to give unneeded tax cuts for the 1%, but for you and me? Nothing…and you can see how much they care about us by their posturing and bitching and complaining….and they are really going on and on about the dems doing the relief plan on their own without “bipartisanship” but I think they are just pissed that Schumer and Biden learned something about the repubs during the fight for the ACA…that no matter how much you compromise and put repub ideas into any bill, they are still going to vote against it so why take that step? Why waste that time when people are going homeless and hungry? To me, that is the best thing they are finally realizing…that repubs don’t want to govern and don’t have any ideas that would make life better for most Americans…you just have to look at the 300+ bills that are being proposed in repub controlled state legislatures that will gut the right to vote for anyone who is not a repub…that is what they are all about…so dems, kill the filibuster and get the new voting rights act passed…that will kill all of this repub cheating and make for fair elections again…geez….

They passed it….
Well…just sitting here under a blanket trying to warm up after working on the snow for over an hour and thought I’d talk about the damn miracle that happened this morning in the senate…Joe’s 1.9 trillion dollar covid relief package passed with, of course, no repub support with Kamala casting the vote that broke the tie…it is now over in the house and should be approved later today for a signature by the first of the week. Unlike the 2008 stimulus that was way too small according to every economist who is not a right wing hack…Biden learned that lesson and just ignored the bleating of the repubs who are crying about the deficit…and they only do that when there is a dem president…you heard not one peep from them about the deficit when they passed their tax giveaway to the rich and corporations that added at least 1.9 trillion to the debt….and that wasn’t needed in an economy that was still good after Obama did all of the heavy lifting after the 2008 crash. Now, this relief package is necessary again to lift the economy and give people at least some money to pay their rent and continue to eat….and to my mind, this should just be the start of other targeted economic boosts that should continue until the pandemic is under control…people are hurting out there and we can afford to help them….and me, I hope…
