Wait, didn't Biden inherit America at its finest? I mean, it was just another Republican president handing off an absolute s***show to a Dem... and you biches are all of a sudden upset cuz Biden has been in charge for two months and has made your life worse?  Seriously you dramatic pigs, stfu.

 

😅 hit a nerve? that reply is dramatic as it gets. id be angry too if my life was dedicated to plastering a message board defending this guy. 

 

its ok little buddy. i recognize his accomplishments. my life is ok. thank you for the concern but in just 2 months the guy has done alot for others, lets give credit.

 

already launched bombs on a foriegn country.

 

already fired thousands of workers with a stroke of his pen. just taking a extra squat on the... show he was handed i guess. 

 

already crushing poor people with soaring gas prices he created with that same pen stroke and putting the threat of inflation on the table for them to contemplate with the endless spending.

 

already throwing migrant children in cages at a astounding rate and preventing ICE from giving the media information on the exact numbers or conditions. have you ever seen a coverup so fast! accomplishment!

 

already not condemning the nonexistent violent white people on the west coast. they no longer have to worry about our president intervening. they can finally riot in peace.

i know this all sounds bad. don't worry, eventually he will take questions on this stuff. we have to be patient. every president starts out by completely ignoring the press. like you said, its only been 2 months. I'm pretty sure once he realizes where he is and why his pudding was left in a sock drawer... all this will be explained to his office lamp. 😳

Just like the stimulus from the Obama playbook.  Hand out money to government workers.   Did Teachers not get paid during the last year? Yes, they did. Did they run into a burning building? Did they dispense groceries at the local store?  Nope...they stayed home for a year!  They sacrificed nothing, and risked nothing.

Why do you act like this?


New here?   It’s because he’s an immature man child.  And his response to this will be a laughing emoji. He doesn’t engage in any kind of intellectual debate.  Because he doesn’t have the brain power for that.  His MO is to post the same Trump memes over and over.  We’ve tried to tell him Trump is gone but he’s obsessed.   
 

Wow that took less time than I expected.  So predictable and sad.

Now do Trumps first 60 days.... and don’t forget to include how many times he golfed and frequented his resorts.

 

And please provide sources for all your claims above - thanks little buddy 😘

And I’m not sure about your kids but for mine they did a lousy job. And we are not in a cheap school district.

You really are 100% clueless about how anything works. I'm sure it'll be covered in the Eighth Grade but until then, let's try again: Why should stimulus checks go to anyone that didn't actually suffer a loss of income during the pandemic?  (PS: The PPP Loans were in fact, loans, and do, in fact, have to be repaid.)

Just consider it a tax cut.  I wish it wasn't means tested.  I liked that one politician's suggestion that you have to get the vaccine shot in order to collect the stimulus check since everyone should be able to get one by May now.

 

Oh man that would have been a FANTASTIC idea!!!

 

I'm getting irritated by people I know personally who are complaining about everything still being closed while simultaneously refusing to get a vaccine.

 

Buncha idiots... and these are people I love.

Most know here what I do for a living.  I sent an email to my top clients regarding the Bill.  I went of the parts that would be of most interest to them.  Regarding the $1400 I told them that I'm not going to tell them what to do with the check if they get one (and most won't).  But the bribe, I mean payola errrrr check was to help "struggling" families or to stimulate the economy. So if they are not struggling (and none of them are) to use their check for local businesses.  Please don't use it in your IRA or HSA.  Spend it!  

 

Your perspective is interesting because it seems to represent the entire Republican perspective.

 

"I'm not struggling financially.  The people I know aren't struggling financially.  These checks are stupid!"

 

All the while... neither you nor most of the people you know are making more than $80k and therefore aren't getting checks, anyway...

 

And the focus seems to be on how these checks must be for things for like mortgage and bills... which are monthly and so they are dumb because it's just kicking a can down the road.  Fact is I'm not one of those that's struggling to pay a mortgage, but as soon as I got that $1400 I put it towards debt, which is probably what most Americans who aren't in that former category are doing.

 

I hope the Biden Adminstration tackles the student loan debt crisis next... that's what my $1400 went towards, anyway.

Good golly. 
 

You would support withholding of federal stimulus funds for your fellow citizens unless they acquiesce to compulsory vaccination, take a $1400 designed to “stimulate” the economy and use it for self-serving purposes, and are a supporter of the student loan debt soup kitchen as well?  
 

Was your income affected at all by the lockdown?  I have friends here in NY who work in govt— the lockdown was really an unexpected windfall for them.  Salary continued unabated, but with the shutdown, the money they saved not having to commute was substantial. 
 

As for the student loan program, how do you feel it should be addressed?  How much debt of those victimized by higher education should be “tackled”  and who should be saddled with the debt?

What in the world.........Where do I begin.....

 

Please point out where I have said ANYWHERE these checks are stupid.  Either a) improve your reading comprehension or b) take your partisan blinders off.  I've said this checks are to help those that are struggling so why are many people that are not struggling getting them?  

 

I hope the neither I highlighted above is a typo because the words that follow it don't make any sense.  C- for grammar.  ;) 

 

I love how you say we how these checks are used to for things like mortgage and you used yours you put it towards student loan debt.  I have news for your student loan and your mortgage are pretty much the same thing.  

 

Biden and ALL politician need to leave their hands OFF student loan debt.  You took the loan YOU pay it back.  Not me and the rest of America.

 

 And lastly.  Good job stimulating the economy with your check.

PPP loans are not true loans. Round 1 went to anyone who felt they could be economically impacted by COVID at the time of applying. That rollout was so bad SBA set a threshold of $2,000,000 with if your loan was under that, you had economic uncertainty.

 

The PPP is 100 percent forgiven and not taxed Federally (and you get a deduction for amounts paid with the forgiven loan proceeds which you don’t normally get with tax-exempt income).

 

To get the loan forgiven you basically need 60 percent going to payroll and 40 percent to any other business cost in an 8-24 week covered period. The amounts you could use the loans for originally were much more restrictive but when it looked like people wouldn’t get an easy 100 percent forgiveness, the government bent over backwards to extend the covered period and the applicable expenses.

 

So while it’s a loan in name, if you ever have to pay a penny of it back, you were an extreme idiot.

Maybe the teachers aren't the problem in your equation


Impression of overpaid lazy teacher rhetoric? 
 

It’s a daycare job supplied with state/county mandated talking points requireing no depth of knowledge or understanding while being accountable to no performance standards whatsoever. (Public school system allowed this)
 

those who can do, those who can’t teach
