OCTOBER SURPRISE : Corona and Dow Jones !!

[KCFlyer]

I don't see this as a socialist venture unless the airline industry was permanently nationalized. These actions are no different from the bailouts in 2001, besides there is a long history of gov't bailing out industries for many decades. I didn't think the ARRA monies Obama doled out, in some instances, were used properly.....they gave 21 billion to education that ended up shoring up under funded pensions at our expense. Point here is unless you stipulate how and why any assistance is spent, you deal with the result. The 2018 tax cuts were given, and, without looking into it, I bet the airline industry wasn't the only ones that got it. I see they bought back a lot of common stock, I'd bet to keep out of takeovers.
As to the 2001 bailouts......I think in some cases it was wrong and prolonged the inevitable for some airlines....I think many should have gone away, including USAir. Then there's the auto industry.....same goes there too...where are they today? Hurting as before.
I don't think socialism is a good idea although we need social programs.....they are different.

Well....I really don't want to see billions in bailout money sent to the airlines and then see the execs reward themselves richly at year end for "guiding us through these difficult times". IMHO, if the government helps the airline industry, ALL executive bonuses and raises are to be eliminated...or at the very least, raises would be limited to what the rank and file receive.

He’s apparently far too stupid to understand or more likely doesn’t care that his few remaining friends here. That their 401 is just as likely to be under preforming as yours. A guy has to be a real ahole for that, but then what do you expect? Stupid fool is cheering on a virus that he and many on here are in the highest risk groups to get.

You nailed it. Boomer remover virus has him in the cross hairs!

You know, at this point, this may, or may not be true!

Question for you and x, and K.C.? Well you? Or won't you?....... SURELY THE TRUMP HATERS WON'T ACCEPT THE 1000$ CHECKS FROM HIM,........THAT WOULD MAKE THEM HYPOCRITES!

Under the proposed Senate plan, I won't get a check.

Edited for another thought....remember the Iraq war? Remember how we didn't have the money to pay for it and still got a tax cut? Why is it that when I said it was wrong to cut taxes in the time of war when we didn't have money to pay for it...all the gung ho, deficit hating, war loving Republicans told me that nothing was stopping me from sending my tax cut back?

The check isn’t coming from Trump. It is a Congressional plan.

It would seem this insanity of hoarding toilet paper has reached Australia!

I saw verbage in the draft where they were taking steps against that.

I haven't seen the part you mention on not getting a check, personally I don't think anyone who hasn't been displaced should get a check.

The last proposal I saw said that a single person with over $99,000 in income won't get a check. For 2019 I was over that. They also said you could use 2018 or 2019. If I use 2018 I'd get one.

The real surprise for democrats will be them losing the house.

What a bunch of despicable partisan hacks.

 

[Renaldo Baccara]

BREAKING:

Democrats have yet again blocked the China Virus response bill because it didn't include:

—Planned Parenthood funding

—A bailout for the Post Office

—Crippling new airline regulations

—Solar & wind tax credits

Why are they playing politics with peoples' lives?

 

[Dog Wonder]

Republicans are so honorable. How could anyone question their motives?

 

[Renaldo Baccara]

Here’s what the despicable democrats are blocking:

$1,200-PP, $2,400-Couple, $500-Child
$250 Billion-Unemployment Insurance
$350 B-Small Business Loan Program
$100 B-Hospitals
$11 B-Vaccines
$4.5 B-CDC
$20 B-Veterans Healthcare
$12 B-K12 Education
$5 B-FEMA
$10 B-Airports

Dems are lying about the rescue bill. They say it’s a “slush fund.”

In reality, loans to big businesses PROHIBIT increases in executive pay and stock buy backs. It’s in the bill, clear as day.

They don’t have real reasons for opposing this. This is pure, bitter partisanship.

 

[Renaldo Baccara]

Here is the text on the $500B portion of the bill:

Direct Lending Limitations: executive total compensation may not exceed $425,000; prohibition of stock buybacks during the duration of the loan; borrowers must maintain existing payroll as of March 13.

Dems are lying.
