    Mitch is downright evil. And, unfortunately, reasonably bright too. The mixture is poison.

    Moscow exiled himself to South Korea after the collapse, riding on the coattails of his wife’s money.

    Ironic if Moscow Mitch would catch the COVID-19 and there was no ventilator available for the poor li’l turtle.

    I guess they’re cooking the rat since McConnell had already been eaten. More than a bit stringy I imagine. On a more serous note, isn’t it interesting that Repubs only think of the national debt when it comes to social spending?

    Hey Mitch…. think of the National Revenue….. if the country’s businesses and employees go bankrupt…. they won’t be paying any taxes…. so then what about the National debt, who pays it, your super rich benefactors?

    Here’s a possible scenario: Most states’ unemployment compensation funds are close to depletion. States can borrow money from the federal government to replenish those funds, but as loans, those moneys must be repaid, and with interest. Now, it the states declare bankruptcy as Moscow Mitch wants them to do, what happens to the loaned unemployment money?

    Mitch reconvened congress to get unqualified right wing extremist judges into position. Mitch said their will be no more money for the American people.

    Sorry, Republicans Refuse To Budge On Second Round Of Stimulus Checks

    Republicans are stymieing efforts to include a second stimulus check in the next round of relief aid

    No, There Is Not Growing Support For A Second Stimulus Payment

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here it is: there is no growing bipartisan consensus to issue a second stimulus check, whether a one-time payment or a monthly, recurring payment. Republicans are stymieing efforts and, given their control of the Senate and the White House, the concept is as good as dead without their backing. If anything, recent Republican commentary has coalesced against a second round of direct payments.

    Yes, Another Payment Would Be Incredibly Impactful

    While the first round of stimulus payments – $1,200 for individuals, $2,400 for those filing jointly, and $500 for each qualifying dependent child – was crucial for many Americans, it wasn’t enough. A Bankrate survey found that 55% of respondents anticipated that economic impact payments would sustain them for less than three months. Another survey, conducted by SimplyWise in mid-April, not only reinforced this point, but also underscored the predicament many Americans are in; 63% responded that they would need another stimulus check within three months.

    But should Dump have a war with Iran his cronies in the oil industry just have to have, then Mitch will be saying, “Debt? What debt?”
