    Okay, so then when a recession hits, help the lowest income earners only. When its not a recession, those lowest income earners better not bitch one bit about spreading the wealth then.

    no. Help the people who are effected. Usually the people who are living nicely to begin with aren’t very affected by a recession. It’s the low income workers who are

    Not entirely true.

    but either way fine cut them a check and deny those who make more.

    But when this is over and everything returns to normal, those who took a check and didn't want money to go to those who make more but still have bank loans, those people should not have one word to say about taxing the rich more or taking their money and spreading it to the poor.

    you cant have it both ways.

    I don’t understand this type of answer. Like we can’t see/hear his words and come to the conclusion he’s a fucking useless moron. No, it’s the media who is brainwashing me. It’s ridiculous. Listen. To. His. Words.

    Idk about Rush or Hannity, I don’t watch them. My guess would be you’re 100% correct about their opinions. There wasn’t a financial crisis going on when Obama was in office though...oh wait, yeah there was! And Obama didn’t do shit besides let 5 million families get foreclosed on while only bailing banks out. So not a real good example.

    Yeah like trying to give immediate aid while Democrats are blocking it. That’ll really be the nail in his coffin. The election should be a quick and easy win for Democrats after all the families that are being abandoned by them get Trump checks in the mail. Democrats FTW!

    oh you mean the free fall of the economy he inherited from Bush?

    haha he inherited that shit. The reinvestment act of 2009 was a great step in fixing another republican economical fuck up

    Tell the folks who got foreclosed on how great the reinvestment act of 2009 was. Too little, too late.

    Ha! I never said don’t give the people who earn more a check. My point is that people who are living a certain comfortable lifestyle it shouldnt be beyond reason to have them tone down the luxuries they once enjoyed before.

    Not a single president in decades has done much for the American people. Its been mostly stuff for the elites. Thats why the separation of the rich and everyone else has gotten worse and worse. Dont trust any of these people to do anything but throw us a bone while they scratch each others back. Then we can sit around and argue with each and point fingers at which group screwed us normal people more.

    Ok, I just read up on it some more. Turns out Democrats are (still) blocking immediate aid and they don’t have an alternative plan that provides immediate aid. They want to give “tax credits” lol.

    You know, because people who lost their jobs who’s rent/mortgage is due in ten days totally need to do a bunch of bullshit paperwork that will allow them to (maybe) get some money...in a year or so.

    Solid fucking plan man. Glad you’re here to defend it.

    Who gives a shit, they all inherit a mess. Your point means dick. He bailed out the same banks who created the crisis...with taxpayer money. Then essentially told those same taxpayers to fuck off. Real stand up guy.

    Fair enough Nd i never said you did. I said those who do.

    well of course toning down would be rational, but that goes for future spending. Whats owed is from transactions already taken place that cant be cancelled.

    Just the opposite.

    Self-employed people like me pay the same payroll taxes that you pay, plus we pay the same payroll taxes that your employer pays, for a total of 13something%.

    Yeah you’re right in a crazy turn of events, liberal democrats don’t want to give money to people in need! It’s crazy! Who woulda ever thunk it?! Republicans are just dying to give money away and those bastard democrats want to hoard the money for themselves! Fuck the poor, thats their motto after all right? Pull ur head out.
