The administration on Tuesday asked Congress to pass a new coronavirus relief bill by August and limit the price tag to $1 trillion.

This is insane!! What Republican in their right mind would want to further plunge our country deeper into debt, all the while the Administration is exclaiming "WE'RE OPEN!! OPEN NOW!!!".

I'm sick of this RINO in the White House. Where's the Tea Party faithful of just a few years ago? Where's your outrage now? Get this clown out of office. Put a real Conservative on the ticket and dump Trump 'the King of Debt'.

Agreed, I don't think he's anything more than a NY Democrat. I've always thought this and wouldn't expect anything but big government spending from him.

Still better than what the Dems are serving up, but not by much.

Confused. You are a Democrat, not a Republican. I looked at your posting history. So while I agree with your rant about spending, you should actually be happy about the crazy spending and a new infrastructure plan. That is exactly what your party has been calling for.

Nope I'm a Never Trump Republican. Cut from the cloth of William Buckley. A fiscal conservative and social liberal. You know you can be both, right?? I hate the federal largess whether its R or D doesn't matter to me.

At present I will vote for whomever get's this pretend conservative garbage out of the White House.

Since when has Trump ever worried about repaying a debt?

So I can sum some of the responses thus far- "Hey wait- you don't support Trump so why should you care?"

Really intelligent rebuttals you got there.

The Democrats are using the Covid scare against Trump. The Demo elected are keeping their states locked down and people out of work leaving Trump little choice but to help people. This is another case of damned if he does and damned if he don't. If he helps he is plunging the country into more debt and as the OP says, we need to vote him out. If he does nothing he doesn't care about people and we need to vote him out.



Trump wants money to help all Americans. How much money will it take for Biden and the Pandercrats to appease the BLM people with reparations and lets not forget the illegal aliens that are just dying to vote Democrat.. They need amnesty, welfare and FREE health insurance that all the dem candidates pledged for them. I wonder if Joe was in the race during the debates if he would have raised his hand when asked about free health care for illegal aliens?



What a mess. Well it has been a nice run America.

What's criminal is that the budget SHOULD have been balanced when a Republican took office and the burgeoning debt reduced during a time of relative economic prosperity. I'll give credit where credit is due at least the numbers were going in somewhat the right direction when the Republicans (under Trump) took the reins.

Trump and the current 'crop' of Trump Republicans did the exact opposite. We have federal budget deficit of $1T a year thanks to a goosed tax cut and spending bill and then ON TOP OF THAT beauty are several COVID related spending bills and now a proposed WHOPPER.

Any 'real Republican' and fiscal conservative should be hopping pee'd off about what this party has morphed into. You got suckered into the same stupid identity politics that Trumpers so vehemently rail against Democrats for, all the while the Republican donor class got to raid the piggy bank at our expense.
