McConnell Faces New Pressure For Big Stimulus After Grim Unemployment Report; 'Political Games Costing Lives'

[Quasar44]

The Labor Department's grim unemployment report has placed new pressure on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to take a larger stimulus deal so that Americans struggling to pay for food and rent can receive quick relief, as coronavirus cases surge across the country.

In November, the U.S. saw its slowest month of growth since spring, according to the department's Friday report. Employers added just 245,000 jobs last month, and while the unemployment rate decreased from 6.9 to 6.7 percent, it was largely due to a flood of people leaving the labor force.

"This is an ugly report," said Diane Swonk, chief economist for Grant Thornton. "It will go negative next month."

The Senate Majority Leader is holding out for a $550 billion version of his previous GOP proposal, but the new unemployment report has given Democrats and economists further ammunition to demand he accept a bipartisan deal.

Another trillion printed !!
That probably means your $100 dollar bill just dropped another 15 percent

Again, this is like the cliché about government breaking your leg, and giving you a crutch, and you're supposed to be grateful for the crutch.

This crisis was directly caused by corrupt, destructive, and malicious acts on the part of government, deliberately sabotaging the economy under the pretext of a fake “pandemic”.

Having government redistribute the dwindling supply of wealth being generated by the few who are still allowed to work to produce it, to those who are not, is no solution at all.

The only solution has to be based on putting an end to the outrageous abuses of government power that have stifled the economy and destroyed small business, and to hold those who caused this criminally responsible for their acts of fraud and malfeasance and abuses of power.

Fukin' whine, bitch and moan. Oh yeah, & blame the right as well. For U intellectually impaired lefties. the preponderance of which are clueless as to what may very well transpire tomorrow by law.

Would not be new. Republicans crashed the economy at the end of last time a Republican held the white house, then tried every way they could imagine to keep Obama from rebuilding, but he did anyway, just slower. Then they bitched about it being a slow recovery. Go figure.

You represent, in my opinion, a prima facie case why nobody sgould be allowed to vote without passing a mandatory intellectual screening prior to becoming a certified American voter.

Many people, especially inner city libs, haven't the smarts to have read that pork filled stimulus package includes. Here, I've done the legwork 4 you. Assuming of course you can understand the written word. Here's a list of Democrat socialist pork (not corona-related) in Coronavirus relief bill - Geller Report News

So the government, ie. Trump presidency, Republican Senate, Republican Supreme Court, purposely destroyed small business to purposely redistribute wealth to 20 million people who are still struggling, because of a hoax that is now responsible for the deaths of 270,000 people?

No brain damage there.

The restrictions with the most impact come from Blue States, with Blue Governors.

The restrictions are imposed haphazardly, with favoritism, and ignored by the very people who implement them.

But to you brain dead prog twats it's all about Trump.

Sorry skippy, but that's not how it works or ever will work in this country. Be a long time before I forgive the Republicans for the banking and financial crash and won't ever forget it. Got a memory like an elephant and stubborn like a donkey.

No one wants the economy to crash***, and the lame brain are so out of touch with reality to suggest a deep state of liberals are the guilty party. The stupidity of the far far right on this message board goes beyond rationality and into the realm of a collection of schizophrenics.

***with the exception of Putin and XI & Iran.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

No one wants the economy to crash…

The actions of certain Democrapic Governors, mayors, and other officials, in deliberately and maliciously sabotaging their economies over the #CornoaHoax2020, very solidly puts the lie to that statement.

If they did not want the economy to crash, then why did they put forth policies that could have no other possible effect than to crash the economy?

And please spare me the absurd lies about it having anything to do with protecting us from a hyperbolized flu bug. The purpose was to crash the economy. Period.

We've blown a lot more for worse reasons. Trumpers and Republicans do not mind deficits, at least if trump or a Republican is in office.

I feel bad for people, and I could sure use some extra cash, but I feel kind of iffy about just handing out money. The vast majority of the country is not in lockdown and unemployment actually went down .2% from last month. So while I agree the economy needs help, I'm not sure that sending everyone a second check is the answer. Why not send that money to states where it can be distributed to individuals who need it and then use the rest to keep municipal services and programs afloat?

Oh. Like sending funds to Cali so Newscum can hand it over to illegals while veterans and children LEGALLY here go roofless and homeless? Like that? Great idea! Not.

Why do politicians, arguably the most non-essential members of our society, suddenly get to decide who is and isn’t “essential?” Why are we letting them?

That's really a fight for the people of California, though, Gracie. Are you still a resident? The fact that you don't agree with the current administration in a state shouldn't stop people from wanting their state to continue functioning or helping its people. Focus on kicking the bum out or pressuring the legislature,, but it's cutting off your nose to spite your face to refuse money--it is OUR money after all! Give it back so we can manage our own problems. The closer a program is to the actual problem, the better it will do at responding.

There are a lot of people, me included, who were not happy with the blue cities and states allowing so much damage and violence to continue for so long, and do not want federal taxpayers to pick up the tab for the cleanup and rebuild. It was a local decision to stand by and do next to nothing and so it should be a local problem to deal with and pay for the consequences.

"it is OUR money after all! Give it back so we can manage our own problems." That's basically what the Trump tax cuts were, giving money back to the people and mostly small businesses. He wanted to do another tax cut, but it got shot down by basically everybody, Repubs and Dems alike. And got voted out of office, go figure.

Okay, but it seems to me the objections here have been very general arguments about how the elected officials in blue states act, and like I told Gracie, it's up to the residents of that state or city to fight that battle, not me or you. Washington DC hasn't got a clue what's happening on the ground here, or what real people need. It doesn't seem like the trillions spent so far to bail us out has done what it intended, or we wouldn't be back in line wanting more.

So you didn't like the riots--guess what? No one did! That's the truth of it. Bail out money has conditions attached. It's not for reseeding parks or washing. graffiti off three downtown blocks. It sounds to me as if you're objecting to blue states getting funds, and that's pretty partisan of you.

Yes, I am in Cali. And yes, I want the gov to send money to those who need it and have paid taxes or worked their asses off their whole lives or were working until they had to stay home. Focusing on kicking the asshole out means nothing as this election showed. Our votes mean NOTHING. NOTHING. Some cackling hyena is in control of the machines that count votes because he/she/they got paid to rig those machines. So why bother to vote for him to be ousted? It won't happen.
Yeah, I could move, but where? And how? Looks to me like the majority of states are ALL corrupt.

 

[Gracie]

One thing is a fact. I will never vote again. Ever.
If you go to a cafe and order coffee and they always bring you tea and charge you for it, why the hell would I continue to go to that cafe when I know what I order means nothing to them?

This crisis was directly caused by corrupt, destructive, and malicious acts on the part of government, deliberately sabotaging the economy under the pretext of a fake “pandemic”.

Having government redistribute the dwindling supply of wealth being generated by the few who are still allowed to work to produce it, to those who are not, is no solution at all.

The only solution has to be based on putting an end to the outrageous abuses of government power that have stifled the economy and destroyed small business, and to hold those who caused this criminally responsible for their acts of fraud and malfeasance and abuses of power.

No brain damage there.

It was not Trump, it was not the Senate, it was not the supreme court that shut down businesses. It was governors and mayors, largely democrat, who shut everything down to hurt Trump and small businesses.

60 million people got Swine Flu under Obama and not a single democrat mayor shut down a single business. Over 12 thousand people died of swine flu, but under a democrat president, so that's ok.

Former Biden chief of staff says that they got lucky that more people didn't die from swine flu, because it wasn't anything Obama or his cronies did. He said they did everything WRONG. "Thank God swine flu wasn't more deadly" he says.

"It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history,” Ron Klain, who was Biden’s chief of staff at the time, said of H1N1 in 2019. “It had nothing to do with us doing anything right. It just had to do with luck.

Biden has fought a pandemic before. It did not go smoothly.

The Obama administration's ability to stop the swine flu came down to luck, one former aide says.

www.politico.com

Did 60 million Americans get swine flu under Obama? Yes.

Was it as deadly as COVID-19? No

Next.
