Now you just need to realize how much the democrats are like republicans.
I have always known they are the two wings of the same airplane. Republicans talk conservative when they are in minority, but when they are in power they spend just like dems.

If they are talking $800 billion today, the real number will be over a trillion, and may surpass the bail out tsunami of the late Bush years.

So no talk of paying for test kits or helping out the individuals who are impacted, only bailing out businesses?

That doesn't seem right.

And I thought the Constitution said all spending starts in Nancy's House of Reps.

Why is Trump having to jack with these people anyway when he can just do it on his own.

Hello....earth to Finn....this is an unprecedented biological crisis. Far far different than the 2009 economic crash. Do you really hate Trump so much you can't see anything except through veils of hate......?

Nothing unprecedented about it, and trying to accuse me of hatred is pretty weak. You lose every time you try to make it about the posters, and you do it a lot.

What is your disagreement anyway? Are you saying such bailout is the conservative thing to do, or are you just embarrassed your leader is pushing for policies which are the furthest thing from being conservative?

Trump team prepares rescue package of at least $800 billion

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...package-132369

The White House aims to deploy at least $800 billion in aid in the coming weeks to prop up the U.S. economy, as retailers, restaurants, sporting events and other businesses shut down and Americans slow their spending while staying home to guard against the coronavirus pandemic.

Among the administration’s targets this week: providing relief in the form of tax deferments, loans or even direct payments to airlines, the hospitality industry and small-to-medium businesses crippled by plunging demand.
Stop it. Trump isn't a conservatives and even if he was it wouldn't matter. So called conservatives love spending other people's money just like liberals are compassionate only to those they agree with. Both sides are hypocrites

Conservatives don't love spending other people money, but pseudo-conservative Republicans sure do. Unfortunately vast majority of Republicans are pseudo (fake) conservatives, Trump being a prime example.

Trump is a snowflake, and he's never gotten over Obama making fun of him at the 2011 WHCD.

I am completely against bailouts of any kind for any reason.

There were bailouts under Obama and there will be bailouts under Trump. We only have so many automobile and aircraft companies to burn through in the never ending quest to make the richer even richer. These corporations are loaded to the brim with debt, and the price of letting them fail is more than Wallstreet and the rich care to pay. So it's all on you Joe taxpayer. And we can borrow the rest for China, they said no biggie.
