Biden voters confirmed mentally three years old. That said, falling asleep during a meeting is to be respected.

I get the sentiment here but I'm really struggling to understand this guy's expectations

Biden been president literally less than two weeks, covid cases have fallen 30%


or maybe he was hoping for some sort of immediate declaration of victory and doubling down on ignoring the virus

Well yeah it's not like Biden flipped a magic national "LOWER COVID" switch two weeks ago

But even with sudden massive and immediate policy change, it's hard to imagine things improving faster than they already have

Easily. Instead now the libs are screeching at you to double mask now with all the new variants, and have already lied to you about the $2k they promised you to stay home and control the spread of the virus. They could have declared a National State of Emergency and done all sorts of things, including nationalizing production of masks and respirators, as well as the vaccine.

$1400 instead of $2000 and now lowering the thresholds. Why are they negotiating themselves down? Are Senior Democrats under the impression things are going really great in the US? Do they not realize that people like getting money and will elect you after receiving money?

well normally in medieval times a holding would be like a keep or a manor and the surrounding lands that you own. but in this case it's just a house. so it's a household

It is possible the dems believe that they need to reduce their demands as an act of "good faith" prior to formal negotiation.

liberals are obsessed with making government programs harder to use and more expensive to run because they’d rather prove conservatives right about government than raise taxes

Republicans are desperately negotiating to make the payments as disappointing as possible so that Democrats don't get a political windfall from the payouts.

And because Democrats suck they are cooperating.

Liberals understand the purpose of government as providing the right mixture of incentives to get markets to solve all problems. Helping people directly counteracts rather than perfects the natural, loving markets that underpin all existence. They must be forced to use markets to help themselves.

This is pretty much what Canada is doing and I realize this is probably the third or fourth time I've been incredulous about this, but Canada's benefit is $2000/month, not a single $2000 lol

The new Republican counter proposal only gives people $1000

So to reiterate

1. Dems promised 2000
2. Dems got elected and said they will definitely without a doubt provide 1400
3. Conservative ghouls just said how bout 1000

So I'm sure Dems will "compromise" on another 600, or nothing at all
lol

Y’know the scene in Goodfellas where Liotta is trying to save Maury’s life by getting him to pay Deniro and Deniro comes up behind Maury and starts strangling him with a phone cord and Maury’s toupee falls off and Liotta starts laughing even though a second ago he was trying to help?

That’s this thread.

They don't want to. It's as simple as that. They lied to get votes and they don't want to send anyone anything.
