Mnunchin: We must be careful with stimulus not to "pile on debt"

[Brandern]

Wonder why you didn't think about that before giving tax breaks to your billionaire friends, Stevie?

People are literally dying and the economy contracted 33% and Republicans keep at their tired old games.

F*** the Republican Party before it f**** you, episode 3172.

Reminds me of this poster, from when Delta was illegally fighting union organizers:



(Delta put up a series of posters suggesting all the fun things union members could do instead of paying union dues. Someone put up the above poster in the same style.)

It's a legitimate concern.  Of course this is an example of closing the barn door after the horse has run away.

Hmm, hmm. Gosh, there's no part of the budget that is bloated and can be cut back, I guess everyone will just have to go homeless and starve...



You definitely can't look at the military budget! We have to keep Americans safe from those nasty other countries out to do us harm, and piles of airplanes and tanks are totally the best way to defend Americans!



Plus, welfare is bad! You can't just give people piles of money for doing nothing!

Lockheed Martin profit: $2 billion
Boeing profit: $8.2 billion
Raytheon profit: $2 billion
Northrop Grumman profit: $2 billion
General Dynamics profit: $3 billion
United Technologies profit: $5 billion
Etc.

They're clearly warming up for Biden's presidency.

No one is concerned about debt.

well, libertarians are, but we only have all the power when it's time to blame someone

Debt and deficits are only a concern when the money spent helps middle, working, and underclasses. And even more so when under a Democratic President.

Trump put all the Fox business people in his Cabinet, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was Gov Huckabee's daughter, and Larry Kudlow and Cohen was Hannity's lawyer. Of course they dont want to help working poor, but the investor class. That's why Trump is gonna lose. It worked well when economy was growing at 3.5 percent

That's not what your friend Mnuchin is telling you and the rest of your trump-cult buddies.

Should Biden win, I'm sure the GOP will waste no time bringing out a doe-eyed Mitch Daniels to start concern trolling about waves of red ink, purely out of concern for his grandchildrens' future. Whether it works a mere three years after they blew up the budget to give billionaires a tax break is an open question.

It won't work.

Consider this a reward for not doing the stuff that puts people at risk of becoming unusually expensive to the system, as in contracting COVID-19.

Rescuing a dog as the most reliable friend, and getting complete sets of Haydn symphonies and string quartets on CD...  the only problem is that dogs dislike string quartets.

Paul Ryan says hello, he retired even before Covid 19, due to tax cuts were a failure
