Guys, I get that you're salty about having tax money "redistributed" to the masses but this is a one time thing for a very specific purpose in a very specific situation.
It's essentially economic first-aid on a traumatized economy. If you break your leg, you don't complain about having to shell out for medical treatment, right? (Well, if you're a lib-dem you do, but that's not us.)
Now every time a bad flu season rolls around we can expect task forces and closures so they can draft up more porky bills to beef up their future donors bank accounts under the guise of sTiMuLuS.
I think the fear porners are desensitized to a pandemic now. They will need a bigger, more traumatic event. Alien invasion?
I'm thinking mass casualty event. God forbid.
This is a possibility, but every tool can be misused. It depends on who's got the reins.
In my opinion, if he had opposed this (particularly with the bi-partisan support it received in Congress) it would have been politically damaging to him (particularly risky so close to election). I ultimately agree with your stance however.
Absolutely. He couldn't win. They would override the veto and make him look horrible.
Yeah, it's not always the answer. And that's defunitely a valid and possibly true opinion on this. Personally, I think it's necessary and possibly brilliant. It's like shooting starting fluid into an engine that's just about to stall.
Definitely true. So yes, that's where the blame lies, and they're the reason why we need this stimulus. At the same time, the solution (or first aid) shouldn't be seen as part of the problem. Rather it's a necessary defensive expense of the war.
