Another $2 trillion for infrastructure? It must be much more jacked up than I thought. Dems are doing a pretty good job of calling out Trump for his false optimism and downplaying of the coronavirus early on. They’ve got to consider calling him out on his current huge lie, that the economy is going to bounce back really strong when this is over. Can’t see that happening.
Trump’s bullshit aside, this is probably the best time to do a lot of infrastructure work. Aside from the economic stimulus, there probably won’t be another period where major bridge repairs or similar things will cause less disruption of traffic/travel.
The problem is that their solution is to sell the rights to private companies and then we get tolls just to drive to the store since the road is privately owned.
The first cv bill was the one where he asked for 3 billion and was forced to take 8. I forgot the second but the big $2.3 trillion stimulus last week was the 3rd bill and Nancy has been talking about a “phase 4” bill since then.
A fourth coronavirus bill is likely to involve at least in part “technical corrections” to the $2 trillion stimulus bill that Trump signed into law on Friday. Last week’s legislation is considered Washington’s “Phase 3” response to the coronavirus causing the disease COVID-19. It follows a mid-March bill targeting paid leave and testing, as well as an initial $8.3 billion emergency spending plan that came together in early March.
Still praying! = “Lol, fuck you you stupid fucking religious people who voted for me. Your entire belief system is bullshit, im saying it out loud, and you will STILL vote for me in November. Also, im never gonna repeal Roe but you think I will because you are obviously too stupid for life.”
All true. With capital fleeing to safety, the right move here would be to issue trillions on long term low interest government debt to finance the heck out of large scale public works projects. Put millions to work on the public payroll. Give them livable wages and health care and pension coverage. Actually make America great again.
