On March 27, 2020 The United States of America, the absolute, hands down GREATEST POLITICAL EXPERIMENT of FREEDOM and LIBERTY is over.

The Republic of the United Socialist States of America (RUSSA) is officially here. The Tipping Point is no longer teetering, the pendulum is no longer swinging; it has tottered and swung for the final time until Revolution comes, if it ever does.

There is no joy, no happiness in my heart and mind for this ridiculous act of $2.2 Trillion worth of socialism cloaked in the sweet words, "Relief Act".

Stalin and Lenin just toasted themselves with a Flaming 4 Horseman of The Apocalypse Shot in hell... (yes its a real "drink":devil:) https://tipsybartender.com/recipe/flaming-4-horsemen-of-the-apocalypse-shot/

Good Lord, Slippy!! I hate that they passed that bill too, but it is not the end. If you think what was built over 244 years can be ended with a pen stroke, you are mistaken. It sucks camel testicles, but our rebublic is still alive. Now, on the other hand, a drink with 4 kind of whiskey and some rum, I am onboard for that!! Woo Woo!!!:vs_wave:

....... If you think what was built over 244 years can be ended with a pen stroke, you are mistaken. ........
You are correct.

Problem is, there have been millions of pen strokes, most of them in the past 75 years. And there will be millions more.

THAT...... will be the end.

I looked closer at the bill... wow..there is some serious pork in there... to the tune of billions and billions. We probably could have done this at half the price if there was a line item veto.

2 trillion... printed money.. what happens when you print money... won’t happen soon but it will happen.

The line-item veto would do more to push us toward socialism than the government spending our money. It would wholly unbalance our system of government, and is absolutely unconstitutional. Can you imagine when the wrong person has that power, and the complete inability to ever get rid of it again?
A new bill arrives on the president's desk with lots of pork and fancy words... oh, and that one section revoking the president's line-item veto powers...
*STRIKE*
Ok, that part is gone... the rest gets signed.

No thank you.

As for the spending, that isn't socialism. It's mismanagement. And we're the managers that watched it happen. Someday we might actually fire our employees and start picking good ones, but for now, we are complacent to watch it all burn so long as they send us checks... of our own money.

The Line Item Veto Act of 1996 Pub.L. 104-130 was a federal law of the United States that granted the President the power to line-item veto budget bills passed by Congress, but its effect was brief as the act was soon ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in Clinton v. City of New York.

as of Feb 2020 there was $1.75 Trillion in U.S. Currency floating around in the system

The government has just passed a $2.2 trillion dollar package which means as a minimum there is now an extra $450 Billion dollars that will need to be created - which will dilute the current value of the USA dollar by about 20%

over time you will see our dollar go down in value versus the currency from canada, japan, china, mexico, UK, etc.......

The value of our dollar is not directly tied to the supply in the system in a 1:1 ratio. Yes, it is a factor, but not the determining one. Our value is largely determined by how the rest of the world sees our dollar. With the rest of the world dealing with this crisis, and spending who knows how much in the meantime, it is yet to be seen if the end result will be to consider the dollar the same "safe haven" it once was, or to move on to another country's currency for future security. If the former, we don't see much change in the value at all. If the latter, our economy crashes.
We all agree that artificially pumping more money into the system isn't a good thing. How bad it is just can't be predicted during the present. It's the work of future economists to really flesh out the impact.

Government ownership of corporations and stimulus checks are by far the most concerning things to me. I wish that Americans and American small businesses could come together and refuse this aid. If Americans were good at saving, we could cut all personal expenses and ride this out without any help, and without risking inflation and the devaluation of our currency. Can people start floating the idea of turning down the aid on social media?

You are 100% correct of course.

But why even give a shit anymore? It passed the senate 96-0. That is, every single Republican present voted for it along with every single Democrat. The house could not even be bothered to go on record with their vote. They just "deemed" it passed, with or without the constitutionally required quorum. Trump signed it with great fanfare. So it must be some kind of awesome right?

Yep, we deserve what we get and I am through wasting my time and energy giving a shit anymore. I have made more than enough to last the rest of my life so I don't give a damn. I'll continue to work if work comes my way. But I'll be damned if I take on anything more than the most mundane of tasks; that is tasks that could be performed by anybody with half a brain.

As the gravity of this mess sinks in, I think we not just going to see Atlas Shrugging, I think we are going to be enjoying Atlas' Golden Shower of Hits for years to come. Grab your raincoats.

We are at the precipice of the abyss and we put ourselves here by electing morons and cretins. We got here one step at a time. Over 2 trillion dollars that we don't have and more to come. And for what? Assuming this bill has something in to for the virus itself and not chock full of pork, by the time the money gets out to where it may effect the outcome, the outcome will have already been decided. @Slippy is right, we are there, but for that last step.

The sheeple are OK with the government spending trillions it doesn't have as long as they get a few pennies out of the deal.

The really sad part is that no shots where fired in defense of this once Great Republic.

Double Baby Boom!!

Peace,

'of the pp in my area, none are offering abortive services outside of medication.' I take it they mean the morning after pill or plan b? Ugh, so some girls have to give birth alone to a dead baby? Not much to celebrate. But I hear you on the fact that many lives will be saved!!! And many mothers will not have to live with the consequences of having aborted their babies. That is wonderful.
