Stimulus Check Part 2

1.Nowhere is there a dig at anyone. It is a fact that most Trumpy's want to control the reproductive rights of women.
2. It is also a fact that most Trumpy's also believe in an invisible(virtually all religions believe that their diety is invisible; man ( virtually all translations of biblical and other religious texts use the masculine pronoun to refer to the deity); in the sky ( one need only look again to the religious texts to see that the deity/prophet ascends into heaven). So none of what I said is even slightly inaccurate to the vast majority of Trumpy's)
3. It is also a fact that you and other Trumpy's try to focus on the most extreme possible position of anyone who tries to explain a liberal position) The vast majority of Democrats even in the Left wing of the party like Warren are capitalist. In most of the world this party is call Social Democrats.
4. The idea that Social Security and Medicare are not socialist programs is ridiculous. FDR fought the GOP and elements of his own party to try and establish Social Security. Their argument...it was socialist. They were right. If SS was not socialist it would not be compulsory to join, The contributions would be subject to the free market system and it would not provide benefits to anyone that never contributed such as the disabled. The idea of a savings account of some kind is to help the under educated sleep at night. Unless you are an unabashed free market Adams/Ayn Rand zealot. You are a socialist whether you like it or not. You can argue about the degree but not the fact.
5.The continued ad hominem attack on me for acting elite as if it was sort of dishonor is relished by me, By most measures I am elite ! Net worth, educational achievement, and standardized tests all put me in the to 2-3% of Americans. But my elite status begins and ens with knowing what I don't know. Trump claimed to understand virology and epidemiology because his uncle taught at MIT ??? He said we'd open the economy by tomorrow. He touts a malaria drug to treat the disease. Trumpy's seldom bother with facts if they don't fit your narrative. As long as you can have your guns, mess with women, gays and minorities; and think that your man in the sky is supreme, you will follow this orangutan into the abyss wherever that might be.

Hydroxychloroquine may work well and shouldn't be politicized by either side.

yep..it should be studied in a randomized trial. Until then I have no problem with anyone taking anything if they are informed about risks and side effects. The FDA makes a mistake by not letting people take any snake oil treatment they want as long as they indemnify everyone and anyone in the health care system.

@Granite

Understand that D51's MO is the drive by
He drops trou, takes a dump, then speeds off.
You can't take him seriously.

SS was devised at a time when unemployment was 50%.
*It was NEVER designed to cover everybody.* your hero FDR was a racist and misogynist.
And, it's a Ponzi scheme, as D51 knows, him being a genius and all.
The math doesn't work and he knows that too.

Everything depends on how far in debt the US of A, and the rest of the world for that matter, can go before the financial system collapses due to the inability to meet all obligations, including INTEREST on that debt. It wont be long before every tax dollar will go to paying interest, leaving NOTHING for SS, Medicare, Defense, etc. And, if you think low interest rates will save us? At zero, they are predicting Japan.....over 20 years lost to malaise.


*Most women were excluded from the benefits of unemployment insurance and old age pensions.[12] Job categories that were not covered by the act included workers in agricultural labor, domestic service, government employees, and many teachers, nurses, hospital employees, librarians, and social workers.[13] The act also denied coverage to individuals who worked intermittently.[14] These jobs were dominated by women and minorities. For example, women made up 90 percent of domestic labor in 1940 and two-thirds of all employed black women were in domestic service.[15] Exclusions exempted nearly half of the working population.[14] Nearly two-thirds of all African Americans in the labor force, 70 to 80 percent in some areas in the South, and just over half of all women employed were not covered by Social Security.[16][17] At the time, the NAACP protested the Social Security Act, describing it as "a sieve with holes just big enough for the majority of Negroes to fall through."[17]

Again a pathetic attempt to impugn me with a motive of telling someone else what to do. I never suggested that those of you that need to belive in the man in the sky, you are quite free to do so. Its the trumpys that want to tell and even force women how to treat their own bodies, who can marry to whom and the preferred religion. As for your faith...unless its a faith of which i have no knowledge your mere presence on this site belies any claim to good character. Although if you claim the Roman Catholic faith we all know you can be an adultrous,thieving murderer Monday through Friday...go to confession Saturday and be in a state of grace for Communion on Sunday. Or you could do it the easier Protesant way and just take Jesus into your heart after every sin.

As far as FDR is concerned, for his time he was neither a racist or a misogynist .He had to make compromises to get SS passed in the first place with the right wings of both parties fighting against every improvement ever tried or proposed.

And if you are a libertanian, i salute you for consistency. True capitalist. No Fda... ...no cdc. The rich would get all the masks and vetilators and the poor should die in the streets. No ss or medicare. Medicine would be only for those who could pay for it . No pub!ic schools either. Work at age 9 or10 for as many hours and at the lowest wages possible. We could even compete for manufactuting iPhones.

FDR wasn't a racist?
You're the Trumpy of HX, apparently. FDR rounded up Japanese-americans and put them in real concentration camps. Somehow, he overlooked the Germans.Much of his shit was declared unconstitutional which is why he tried to pack the Supremes. SS barely made it but has been the greatest generational transfer of wealth in history.

"During the 1950s, over-65s continued to have the highest poverty rate of any age group in the US with the largest percentage of the nation's wealth concentrated in the hands of Americans under 35. By 2010, this figure had dramatically reversed itself with the largest percentage of wealth being in the hands of Americans aged 55–75 and those under 45 being among the poorest."

Post Boomer generations have good reason to be pissed as arrogant assholes like yourself continue to steal their earnings thru a pay-as-you-go Ponzi scheme.

You've nothing to say about the debt bomb and pathetically attempt to ward off the epithets you so richly deserve.

And, you obviously know NOTHING about Libertarianism, here's a link if you dare to actually educate yourself.

Far left, far right...you're all the same, trying to tell everybody else how to run their life and think you're so fucking smart. Here's how smart you are dummy, you lost 95% of the audience you purport to convince with your pathetic sermon.
