Mitch McConnell Was Paid $3300 This Week While Blocking One Time Payment Of $2000 Stimulus Aid

[skews13]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnellwas paid $3,300 of U.S. government money this week while he blocked a one-time $2,000 stimulus check for struggling Americans.

Here are 10 statistics to put the stimulus proposal in perspective.

1. The total cost of $2,000 checks ($465 billion) is less than half the amount that American billionaires have made during the pandemic ($1 trillion). The total cost of the checks is less than the amount that just 16 American billionaires increased their net worth by during the pandemic ($471 billion).

2. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk gained more wealth during the pandemic ($158 billion) than Congress just authorized for additional unemployment benefits for millions of Americans ($120 billion).

3. Jeff Bezos's personal wealth increased more every second of 2020 ($2,800) than Congress is considering giving Americans who are facing eviction, starvation and bankruptcy ($2,000).

4. Congressional lawmakers are being paid $3,300 of government money every week while they find ways to block $2,000 checks to millions of Americans.

5. It took Congress less than a month to pass legislation giving a $700 billion bailout to bank executives during the financial crisis. It has taken Congress more than eight months to mull the far less expensive stimulus bill to give $2,000 to Americans struggling in an economic crisis.

6. A $2,000 survival check would give the average soldier more money than the proposed 3 percent military pay increase that is included in defense legislation that Senators Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey said they would filibuster in order to force a vote on the survival checks.


7. The richest 5 percent of Americans received more in Trump tax cuts in 2020 ($145 billion) than Congress is spending on increased unemployment benefits for millions of Americans during the economic crisis ($120 billion).

8. In 2016, "children, elderly, disabled people, and students made up around 70 percent of the poor," according to the People's Policy Project. Unlike unemployment benefits, $2,000 checks would help them.

9. About 60 percent of Georgia households make less than $75,000, meaning Georgia Republican senators allowing $2,000 checks to be blocked would deny aid to roughly 2 million of their state's households as they run for reelection.

10. As Republicans try to block the $2,000 check legislation, a new national survey found that 78 percent of Americans support it.

Mitch is now telling us he doesn't want rich people to get a check. He does know we can hear him right?

 

[The Rabbi]

Sounds like he earned his salary this week. The stimulus payments are a joke. T hey don't do anything. Bribery for the rubes.

 

[night_son]

No elected politician cares for or about any of the lives of their constituents. We have regressed here in America to a pre-1700 AD feudal state where elected officials have become nobles; an aristocracy hell-bent on throwing Magna Carta in the nearest firepit and welcoming/ushering in a neo-monarchy. Doesn't matter which side the American political spectrum we're on anymore; both aisle sides are equally corrupt and off the hook self-aggrandizing.

About the same, plus the insider trading info, plus the policy perks for her Chinese shipping company. Given her Chinese heritage, and Chinese Communist State connections.

Rebates?

Who needs to collect taxes when paper and ink are cheap and the regime already owns the presses?

It is neither. It is based on actual fact. Two thirds of the last stimulus check (and all previous ones going back to the 1970s) are used to pay down debt or go into savings. That isn't doing anything other than transferring private debt to public debt. There is no stimulus effect from this.

What you wrote is true, my wife and got $1200 last time around, money we don't need and money we put in one of our money market accounts***. However, at this time the money goes to small business and those who can't make their rent or pay their mortgage and need to wait in long lines to garner food to feed their family.

Of course Moscow Mitch and his band of bitches support a poison pill change, money for those you note accurately they don't need.

***That money and money we have invested in Money Market Accounts was not earning any appreciable interest, and we used that money and some of our savings/investments to put artificial grass in the large backyard of the home we own where my son, daughter-in-law and our grandsons live; we then paid off the mortgage so that they do not need to make any house payments and only pay for home insurance, utilities and taxes. We off course don't require them to pay rent, and we will quit claim the property once we see a tax attorney. The home was purchased in 2009 during the house crisis and is now worth over $600,000.

That proposal is coming from Moscow Mitch, the poison pill. The bill passed, by the Speaker if I understand it correctly, will not enrich our family (both of our sons earn more than approved by the H. or Rep. and my income is well beyond theirs) or others in higher income brackets.
