It makes me nervous.


We need transparency for where our tax money is being spent.
With so many Leftists ready to pounce on anything Trump does, you think there would be no transparency?

American citizens have a right to know where their money is going and to whom.

There’s no doubt that the Democrats feel that it’s in their best interest to let the economy collapse.
This is an emotional rant but doesn't address the concerns that have been identified.

That would be like me ranting Republicans just want to give money away to their friends.

Hmmm -- that's an emotional rant that doesn't give any back up based on what we know about the bill -- it's just an emotional, silly, rant.

I do think that we should have full transparency on who gets money and how much.

And to me - this is worth fighting for.

We have one stimulus bill signed clearly indicating there is not a desire to crash the economy.....which as i pointed out -- has already crashed?

Trump says hand over the money or there will be death... death.

Is this a protection racket or what?

Were you this concern when Obama handed out hundreds of billions to big banks and big automakers?

I think the Dems are the Patriotic Party as well since they're the ones wanting to make sure the money goes to regular Americans and not big corporations. McConnell et al, a/k/a the Anti-American party wants us to give the majority of the bailout money to God-knows-who, since they don't want to tell us.

Hated it and bitched about it on CD and in real life. Still do. We didn't take our lumps back then, so the cost just went up.

That is how a racketeering mobster communicates. Draw your own conclusions

Not sure if you did but if true then at least you are consistent. Regardless, hindsight should let you know that you were wrong.
