"Contrary to some cynical pundits, Biden was not “lucky” to win in 2020. He is not a gaffe machine; indeed, he is religiously on-message and often eloquent."
With someone so "religiously on-message and often eloquent," @JRubinBlogger, any logical explanation why he hasn't done any press conferences or spoken to the American public for more than just a few minutes once or twice now?
I mean, c'mon man! This man just exudes eloquence!
In our brave new world, human contact is shunned. Humans must grow up learning to fear the touch of another human's skin, keeping everyone at a distance of a double arm's length for fear of contamination from any foreign virus, disease, filth, bile, or compassion.
All Jim ever wanted to be was an astronaut. It was his lifelong dream. And now, thanks to the kind role players at the local Society for Creative Anachronism, he was one! He hadn't been this excited since teacher had given him the box of 64 crayons to replace the ones he'd eaten!
It had finally happened. She'd talked back to the TSA agent. In this brave new world one couldn't just say what they wanted. One bad word and it was right to the trash bin. Now there was nothing to do but wait for the sanitation crews to arrive and transport them to the landfill.
Seriously, paparazzi, give it a break! Just because Beyoncé and I have both decided to spend some time alone and not attend some two bit awards show doesn't mean we're a thing!
With this oh-so-magnanimous American Rescue plan, we will have gotten a total of $3,200 per recipient ($1,800 from Trump; $1,400 from Biden). It's come at a total cost per taxpayer of $41,870.
That's $38,670 per taxpayer that went *poof* somewhere else.
This is exactly what happens when the government says they have to help you. It's costing you $38,670 in future taxes to dole out just over three grand to you now.
Predatory loan sharks look at that kind of deal and think...
Or hey, don't worry about paying it off and just let that national debt stack up like Dominos pizza boxes at a frat party. Not like money's gonna be worth anything if we keep doing that forever, huh?
That's $38,670 more that each of us could have gotten with that same stimulus. Far more, actually, because not everyone gets a check. But hey, child tax credits, and money for medical something-or-another! At least a few billion out of that $6 trillion.
