Just cough up the money already. Everyone knows it's going to happen, it's just a matter of when and how much other pork is tied to the bill.

I didn't get any before and I probably won't get any again. I just want to see its impact on my short term investments.

If you don't need it, help pay off the debt,every bit helps. I know that is a liberal fan fantasy, but I'll give your away.

No way, I'm entitled to it. What mine is mine and yours is mine too.🗣️

Hey, we were just talkin’ about you, you freak!!!

McConnell shoots down $1.8 trillion coronavirus deal, breaking with Trump

The Hill

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday shot down the prospect of a coronavirus deal totaling between $1.8 trillion and $2.2 trillion — the goalposts of the current talks between Democrats and the White House.

McConnell's comments, made to reporters in Kentucky, underscore the divisions between President Trump and Senate Republicans on a fifth coronavirus package, with the GOP leader preparing to force a vote on a $500 billion bill next week.

“I don’t think so. That’s where the administration is willing to go. My members think half a trillion dollars, highly targeted, is the best way to go," McConnell said, asked about the prospect of a deal totally between $1.8 trillion and $2.2 trillion.

McConnell added that while a reporter was correct that there are negotiations ongoing between Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the White House about the higher price range, "that's not what I'm going to put on the floor."

McConnell's comments come as President Trump signaled on Thursday that he was willing to go higher than $1.8 trillion in negotiations with Democrats.

“Absolutely, I would. I would pay more. I would go higher. Go big or go home, I said it yesterday. Go big or go home,” Trump said during a phone interview on Fox Business on Thursday morning.

But McConnell is set to put a substantially smaller bill on the floor next week.

The GOP plan, which McConnell has said will be around $500 billion, will include another round of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funding, money for testing and hospitals, and protections for businesses from coronavirus-related lawsuits.

Senate Republicans have struggled to get on the same page as the White House when it comes to the coronavirus negotiations.

Senate Republicans offered a $1.1 trillion coronavirus package in late July but McConnell warned at the time that up to 20 GOP senators could vote "no." They then unveiled a smaller bill in September that authorized about $500 billion that 52 of the 53 GOP senators supported.

McConnell has publicly warned that just because Democrats and the White House get a deal does not mean he would agree to put it on the floor. Speaking to reporters during a recent press conference, McConnell said that he would "take a look at it and see if I can sell that to Senate Republicans."

Senate Republicans panned the $1.8 trillion price tag during a phone call with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House chief of staff Mark Meadows last weekend.

One source familiar with the call said that there were "significant concerns raised with the price tag."

In response to the GOP criticism, Meadows told Republicans that "you all will have to come to my funeral" once he delivered their concerns to Trump.

Nope. He has what he wants in his own $5 billion bill to be introduced soon: liability protection and a dollar figure he can get enough R's to vote in favor of.

Trouble is, the trillions in bailouts is fed into large companies with the "trickle down" theory in mind. That was true in Boomer youth years: that wealth was created the more factories were built and staff employed. Now that's not so much a truism anymore. Today it's tech which is rendering man into the same situation the horse was put in when the horseless carriage grew in popularity.

All future bailouts should only go to physical humans. The companies which serve a function on the market to provide products and services people need and people buy should be the winners. No more dropping tens-hundreds of billions into major zombies under the guise of "trickle down" only to see congressmen's investments saved. Boomers wouldn't need investment banks to be propped up to save their small semblance of retirement the way they are now if the interest rates weren't suppressed for decades.

Future bailouts must be restricted to cash payments *only* to humans and never to legal fictions!

So you believe in some sort of trickle up theory with cash payments (stimulus) to the proles? Like giving loot to them is different, not immoral and will cause them to stimulate the economy by buying stuff? Sounds like the same kindergarten economics we heard under Bush and Obama. Trickle Down or Trickle Up, if your relating those terms directly to yet another massive welfare, wealth redistribution scheme called a "stimulus package", it's all a smoke screen to try to cover up the damage politicians have done to the economy by their wrong headed interventions like lockdowns.

The big question is no matter who the bailout goes to, where is the money coming from?
The federal government alone is now $27Trillion in debt thanks in part to the last stint of massive stimuli. They have no money, they can only get mo' money by either taxing, inflating, or going into debt further, which has to be paid later. In the later case they've never paid down the debt in modern history, but have continually grown it. They'll be lucky if they can tax the economy enough to just pay interest to the bond holders. Besides the immorality of it all, the general public in its usual foolishness doesn't even consider there is a massive downside to any of it and even encourages more bad government behaviour.

Where's mine?

How about wants a month 😊
