    Never let a crisis go to waste. I think we should do the same and get these clowns out of office.

    It'd be nice to see a list of ALL the pork barrel spending built into this.

    ...but then you'd see the sausage being made.

    There is absolutely a ton of pork attached to this, I just don't know the specifics.

    I've read most of the text of the $2.2T bill already passed. Essentially, almost every federal program got to increase their budget by 50-200 percent, along with a bunch (~$700B) of earmarks for shit that have nothing to do with public health. The Smithsonian got $25M, as did the Kennedy Center. The National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities each got $75M...There's $300 for the African Development Fund...

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    It's nuts. And the stimulus checks only cost about 237 billion ($1200) + about 40 billion total for all the children checks ($500). Literally payments to placate the people to not ask further questions where the rest goes. I've had conservatives tell me "shut up and just spend your money!".....

    Yup, any excuse to increase the size of the federal government.

    ...and Trump signed it.

    Who am I supposed to vote for in November? There isn't anyone running that is fiscally responsible.

    The other problem is that Trump won't speak with authority against any governor that is grossly violating the 2nd.

    If fiscal responsibility is your voting issue, I guess you haven't voted....ever?

    How is the President supposed to resolve 2A issues in the states? I only took high school civics, so maybe I missed how the President is able to change state regulation.
