If they wanted to fix things they should have just taken all the money in the first stimulus/relief bill, divided it by ~330 million citizens and sent each one a check for their share. Instead, they always pay off their cronies.

If we're going to borrow in the name of the taxpayer, give the taxpayer the money. Give every family of 4 $150k and see what that does for business.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Do you know what you just said? Someone who thinks like this is called something in this country. Something, special. Dare to take a guess?

To be fair to Paul, he uses Marx here in the best manner I have ever seen an American politician use him. Usually, Marx is thrown around as a punchline and a menacing sounding adjective. Here, he uses it properly. I, of course, disagree somewhat with his thesis in this speech, but at least he is rational. He is on the other side of the fence from me on economics, but he realizes that Conservatives for stimulus are not Conservatives at all. Thus, this begs the question, what do they stand for?

Marx was a degenerate not in a political sense on a personal level, he never worked, he was lazy and rarely washed.

These so called intellectuals were degenerate morphine takers and sexual degenerates

Marx’s family were no better, mixed up with like wise degenerates and either ending up in mental institutions or killing them selves.

As for Marxist theory it is a theory for YOU not them.

Come the revolution you will do as your bloody told!

And be damn sure you and yours will NOT be siiting on the top table.

No wonder Russia and China despise the West.

They tried this Communism and ditched it after 100 million dead.

Dont ever think the a Chinese are communists, they are Chinese first, and using their form of communism to destroy the West.

They have won without dropping a bomb.

That video is why I started this thread

The dollars reserve currency status is dying

Without it the dollar is toast

This has started wars - Iraq - and killed leaders in other countries see Lybia when they stated they were switching off the dollar

They can keep my $600, I just want my job back. This bill enables the airlines to call back 32,000 furloughed employees. 

I was furloughed from United Airlines on Oct. 1 and I've been collecting unemployment ever since. We've been waiting on this deal for months, its time to get back to work.

Yes, Marx in England was not a very useful citizen. Rarely bathed, relied on his friend for shelter and food, etc. This does not make his ideas any less powerful. Good ideas or bad is not the issue here, but meaningful and powerful. Are they still studied today even though he was a degenerate? Yes. Luther had some powerful ideas and he was also cookoo. Just because you are crazy or lazy does not mean you cannot alter the future.

The old saw about A billion here, a billion there and pretty soon you're talking real money is now completely outdated.

Now it's apparently A trillion here, a trillion there and pretty soon you're talking real money.

It's so wonderful to put the US taxpayer on the hook for another trillion and then send him/her $600 by way of thank you.

Still, I'm happy that the US taxpayer will fund Pakistan to the tune of $10 million to be distributed to “gender programs.” What US heart doesn't beat with pride when learning that?

Tulsi Gabbard (IMO one of the semi rational Dem primary contestants) was spot on when she said:

Quote
“$600 is a slap in the face to every American struggling due to the pandemic. You deserve better. I voted against the 5,593-page spending bill that gave billions to corporate interests, the military industrial complex & other countries, leaving crumbs for you who need help most”

But hey..a trillion here, a trillion there. What could possibly go wrong.

In other news Bitcoin @ $23k.

Dont forget about the other trillion and a half they printed to help pay for everything else until next Sept...9 months away

"Congress passes legislation with $900 billion in coronavirus relief and $1.4 trillion to fund the government through Sept. 30"

Whats after a trillion?

My guess is bankrupcy and a reset of the us dollar that will shock the average citizen

Only people who discuss Marx are pseudo middleclass academics.
These academics have no idea about the working classes.
How would they?
Marxists despise the working classes as they have proved to be a disappointment to the socialist myth of equality.

Marxism is NOT discussed at all, nothing about the Gulags, nothing about the purges nothing about the 100 of millions who died.

Come the revolution you will do as your bloody told.

And by the way you and yours will NOT be sitting at the top table.

I never took you for an academic in spite of your revealed fixation with Marx (seeing as how you are the one that brought him up).
