Nope. Hes funding the folks with guns that he wants to support him.

“Some want to defund the police, we’re funding the police and then some,” DeSantis added while praising the first responders who have continued to work during the coronavirus pandemic without the luxury of being able to work from home.

And not just on the front lines, putting their lives in danger, but amidst a far-left campaign to demonize them. They deserve it, and more.

(Funny how liberals support paying $1200 bonus money PER MONTH for people who refuse to get a job, but balk at a token one-time $1000 payment to people doing dangerous and thankless work.)

LOL. A fair criticism

It doesnt change that giving money to the people with money in one time bonuses has a well know correlation throughout history. And again note-Id rather they got raises.

Funny how republicans cant comprehend that giving it to pretty much everyone who will spend it to stimulate a economy is different then giving it to individuals as a "reward"

Maybe by the 12th of Never. Unfortunately. Way too many leftist kooks in Northern Cal to allow for that.

Funny how Democrats don’t understand that bribing people (with OPM] to refuse to work doesn’t allow the economy to come back full force.

Americans don't really know where the taxes they pay actually go. Sure there are programs they hear about, but how is it actually divided up?

If we as tax payers can decide how our money is spent, then this wouldn't even be an issue. I would love my tax dollars to be used this way.
