    Default Porkulus in the news



    They're still working on their $1.9 trillion porkulus giveaway, and DEMOCRATS are already floating a sequel.

    “Our No. 1 lodestar is going to be helping the American people and if they need more help, we’ll do another bill,” Cryin' Chuck gloated Saturday after DEMOCRATS rammed porkulus up the ass of America.

    Only a small part of what DEMOCRATS passed is for pandemic or economic relief.

    It’s mainly a way station on their high-speed train to a cradle-to-grave welfare-entitlement state.

    Most of the $1.9 trillion will flow to government unions or supposedly temporary income transfers that DEMOCRATS doubtless intend to make permanent later this year.

    Default Porkulus heads back to DEMOCRAT-dominated House

    The bloated $1.9 trillion porkulus package faces what is expected to be a very close vote in the DEMOCRAT-dominated House as early as Tuesday after the Senate narrowly approved the partisan pork party over the weekend.

    Porkulus Pelosi can afford few DEMOCRAT defections as the House primes for a second vote.

    A provision on the minimum wage was left out of the Senate version of porkulus after a ruling by the Senate parliamentarian that it didn’t comply with chamber rules.

    The margin for the DEMOCRAT dictatorship is even tighter in the evenly divided Senate, which enabled Joe Manchin to bring debate on the bill to a halt Friday and obtain changes in a $300 weekly unemployment benefit. That benefit will now end in September, about a month earlier than promised by DEMOCRATS.

    Appearing on four political talk shows Sunday morning, Manchin edoubled his opposition to calls from fellow DEMOCRATS, including a majority of his Senate caucus, who want to change Senate rules to eliminate all opposition to their partisan proposals.

    “I’m not going to change my mind on the filibuster,” Manchin said.

    Only 9% of porkulus is related to the Bidenvirus.

    It hard for you to accept that this bill has a 70% approval by the American people.

    According to a pollster, cum gargler?

    • For $2 trillion, the DEMOCRATS could have cut a check to every household in the US for more than $16,000.
    • If the DEMOCRATS had only cut checks to the poorest one-third of households, each would receive almost $50,000.


    Instead, they promised that $2,000 checks would go out the door immediately back in early January, which was a lie.

    The trump tax cut for the wealthy cost us just about the same as this bill did. Its gonna be hard for Republicans to justify their vote in mass for that legislation and their complete failure to garner a single vote for the bill which helps the average American worker.

    He can’t get legitimate arguments on issues off of the sources he uses, and he needs those sources to make himself relevant, so you could say it is habitual, what makes “copy and paste” “copy and paste,” you got to go with the humor it

    A $1.9 trillion "emergency aid package to help America recover from the coronavirus pandemic" has an extra porky perk for federal workers: Enhanced paid time off if your child is enrolled in a school that isn’t back to full-time, in-classroom instruction.

    Critics call it a personal bailout for bureaucrats. It is funded through a new $570 million family leave account exclusively for federal workers.

    While millions of parents struggle to work from home with kids who are enrolled in shuttered or partially shuttered schools, and millions more left the workforce or lost jobs to care for their at-home children, evidently parents in the bloated federal bureaucracy need their own, personal Covid-19 bailout.

    Full-time federal employees can take up to 600 hours in paid leave until September 30, up to $35 an hour and $1,400 a week. That’s 15 weeks for a 40-hour employee. Part-time and “seasonal” employees are eligible, too, with equivalent hours established by their agency.

    A hard fact for the Trumpkins to swallow is that eventually the threat of COVID is going to fade, certainly lessen by the end of this year, and the economy is going to rebound. Biden will be given credit for both, and as much as their media tries to deflect with endless narratives on cancel culture/cultural wars and Cuomo/Hunter/ or whatever scapegoat they can come up with, Americans will see it that way
