Right now is the time to do these big things.
STOP.
I can legitimately criticize the poor job Biden and the Democrats are doing because they ran an entire campaign on the promise of doing something , and this $1.9T bill (which is less than the shitty Russia Tax Cut) is not enough and they're going to have to do something in 6 months, but they won't because they don't want to do anything.
They want to lose the House and Senate next year.
Biden wants McConnell as Majority leader, and he wants McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
That's the only explanation for the pathetic and impotent actions of Biden and the Democratic leadership over the last month.
No. We were told that we had to vote for Biden because he was the one who could get things done, not Bernie.
Well, fast forward to today and Biden hasn't gotten shit done, and the Democrats haven't either.
The GQP passed their shitty tax cut in under a week in 2017. So there's no fucking excuse for these delays today. This COVID bill should have been on Biden's desk to sign ON DAY FUCKING ONE.
Instead, they negotiated away everything in the bill that would have actually recovered the economy.
This is going to be as toothless and worthless as the ARRA was. It's going to be a carbon copy of it, and it's ineffectiveness and lack of big swings will cost us the House next year.
First of all, I probably did more than anyone on these boards to GET US a Democratic Senate thanks to the efforts of us here in Georgia. We won those two runoffs last month on the promise of $2K checks. Not "some people get some portion of the $2K check". That's not what we ran on, and it's not what we promised.
We were promised $2K checks. Ossoff and Warnock both tweeted that. It's what they fucking ran on, and I'm not going to watch all that hard work go down the drain because of Joe fucking Manchin or Kristen fucking Sinema. More people voted for Ossoff in GA than Manchin in WV, so all due respect, FUCK THAT POSITION.
You ran on $2K checks..."IMMEDIATE" $2K checks.
30 days is not "immediate".
By the time all these checks will be distributed, it will be the end of March.
People need relief NOW.
Canceling $50K of student loan debt would be immediate relief. But guess who says no to that, and why?
And I don't really fucking give a shit what Conservatives think. As far as I'm concerned, they shouldn't even be allowed a seat at the fucking table after the shit they pulled the last 20 years.
LV...you are as out-of-control as the morons on the right.
Makes no sense to argue with them...and makes no sense to argue with you. Those of us dealing with reality will keep you folk in mind.
Joe Biden is making a decent start to his term...and I think most reasonable, thinking people will give him more time to make good on as much of his promises as can be obtained.
I wish you, and your counterparts on the right, good luck with your delusions.
ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!
