twice the cost of Obama's stimulus in 2009, and I'd agree that it is needed, well, everything other than the Munch's half trillion dollar personal secret slush fund, but I'm wondering why we aren't seeing the cries of "porkulus" and concerns for the National Debt from the right and their media as we did endlessly back in 2009?
Where is the Tea Party, the Freedom Caucus, those that were born in the 2010 election largely over the concerns for Obama's "porkulus" and massive additions to the National Debt? Where have the calls for self correction and unnecessary Gov't interference that were so dominate on the right but a decade ago?
Is it that conservative principles really aren't ideological fundamentals they believe in but rather political cliches defined who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? We know Democrats are always going to look at the Gov't as a vehicle for change and action, but conservatives and Republicans, what do they really stand for?

On one hand it is totally asinine but the very large variable you choose to leave out is we are in this position because the government forced businesses to shut down. One can't 'pull themselves up by the bootstraps' when the government doesn't allow you to work. So no, it's not apples to apples here comparing today to 2009 or any other recession.

Republicans always create deficits.
Give a Republican a credit card you might as well issue the charge off statement.

Excepting Mnuchin's $500 non-accountable pork for Big Business, the stimulus is needed.
Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

Hello archives,
Just think if we had taxed the rich more and paid down the debt by 2 trillion dollars with this 'fantastic economy' this $2 trillion bill would not have to be added onto the $23.5 trillion debt, (ouch.) Not saying we shouldn't have a bail out package. Just that we could have been far better positioned for it.
Agreed on the wishy washy corporate half trillion. We need to know where that is going and why. We don't want to be funding stock buy backs, executive bonuses and pay raises.

Feel free to show a single post where I’ve ever said or implied that. I’ll save you the time, I haven’t. But not surprising you don’t understand the simple concept of apples and oranges I referenced. Neither you nor archives can address it.
Why do you think that is politalker?
