I'd be more inclined to take any proposed fiscal conservatism from Republicans seriously if they exercised it when they control the executive branch.
Any thought of balancing the budget or paying down any debt is just a big joke by this time.
Laughable.

If he's going to give out a $15K "first time buyer" home credit I'll wait and see if I qualify. I haven't owned for more than a year and am looking. It's free money. Buying any house will increase my monthly costs by a good $500 so I want some incentive to give up my cushy rental life that gives me no yard-work or maintenance and extra investing dough not to mention I'm 2 minutes from work.

Biden is helping no one.......

....well, besides illegal entrants that is.

The democrats teach people how to live without working by depending on government programs. Then those people must vote for democrats to keep the "benefits" flowing.

Our government mess was caused by both parties but Republicans are not the party of handouts to the level the Democrats are.

10 random people in a room over a long weekend with a couple of pizzas and a case or two of beer could come up with a better Covid relief plan than the yahoos in Washington did - for half the money.

My point is we are giving the money to everyone when the vast majority have not experienced any economic hardship. Why not give the support to the people who have experienced the economic hardship and save the rest? You obviously missed the whole point.

The politicians you voted for purposefully opposed any means testing of things like loss of income, having lost work hours, etc...

It is his freebie to do as he pleases with.

Everyone, don't forget to sign your kids up for free school breakfast and free school lunch offered through the rest of the school year by the Dept. of Agriculture.

We are becoming addicted to freebies. It will be great. Think of how compassionate we will be with so much for free.

It might not flow but weren't the first 2 passed with republican senators and a president signing them?

Why criticize Biden for it now
