I blame the disgusting political position we are in today.
I heard McConnell is now making promises to not approve Biden’s picks for his cabinet.
Really bothers me that Trump during his economic heyday created an even larger national deficit and then when we had a disaster like a plague, we have to print money to help our states and citizens. Sinful. I have a hard time just getting past that part. Trump’s friends and the wealthy who became wealthier during the last 4 years walk away with their money while people are really suffering. There are people on the street, or worrying about being put out on the street, and wondering where their next meal is coming from. Students who can’t do school because they don’t have reliable internet. This should not be happening.
How are the politicians planning on paying for the stimulus we are paying out? I hear nothing about paying for it.
Sorry, I am too angry about the entire picture to focus on who is making it hard at this particular moment. I will say I think the $600 a week extra seemed like a lot of money to me, I probably could have collected it, but never tried, my niece just told me the same thing a few weeks ago. I am not for just handing out money willy nilly anymore, although I was in favor of it with the initial stimulus. I am in favor of helping people during this dire time though, especially people who are high risk, I don’t want them to have to work jobs that put them in a high risk situation.
Where is the tax to pay for this crisis time? Do the packages tax the rich while giving to the poor? I hope so. It doesn’t have to cover the whole amount, but something! I am willing to pay a one time income tax to help my state balance the budget if needed, as long as the state is tightening it’s belt in good faith.
