Rep. Raskin: GOP Message About Debt And Deficit Is ‘Tired, Old Rhetoric’ | Stephanie Ruhle | MSNBC

'Tired old rhetoric?' Republicans are hypocrites, sure. But Democrats are going to blow it. They're going to spend their way into failure. This 'journalist' is a joke, btw. It's no wonder why 'conservatives' talk about media bias. She offered nothing but gushing support to this guy.

Family of 4 would receive 5200 which equals 19.25 a week for last 9 months ?

They kick, they cry, they scream, but they SLASH the taxes Millionaires, Billionaires and Corporations pay.

Wander Full says:

VOTERS blame yourself for how you voted in the last election, you had your chance and you blew it in regards to Congressional and Senate elections. The only stench you eliminated was the Dump and he is just a consequence of the support he got from GOP. In essence you left the virus in office….

kevin Arnold says:

gop has only ever cared about debt and deficit when democrats are spending that money.

William Arthur says:

The Trump administration has come a long way for it to be recognized as the better of the two parties.

Ty for including adult dependents. Doubt they will leave it in, but the sentiment is nice to include more Americans.

SkyeRangerNick says:

Everyone who receives the rescue funds is going to be engaged in the recovery. Even those whose income is too high to receive rescue funds will be engaged in the recovery. This is not simply about having the money; nor spending the money for oneself. The funds pour out into the economy both in the form of new spending and in the form of paying debt accrued in 2019. A lot more rescue is needed however. Yes, there need to be more jobs; jobs that pay fair living wages. Mortgages and back rent need attention. Delayed medical care is needed. The number of small businesses that have been lost is staggering. $600 is but a drop in the bucket. $2000 is scarcely a few drops in the bucket. Poverty and homelessness and unbridled family and individual debt are not hallmarks of a healthy society or healthy economy.

Cities, counties, states, and the federal government must have their taxes revenues restored.

The rescue funds Americans received earlier in the year have all been returned to the economy. Unemployment benefits have been used to pay bills and get by and brace for 2021. The pandemic is not going to vanish. The challenges for society are not going to vanish. The challenges for the economy are not going to vanish. The economic impact is global. The pandemic is global. Climate change is global.

Even before Covid, the Republicans created the most debt ever in the the United States since WWII. The GOP is just using this a an excuse and is total bull crap.

Zan Dale says:

McConnell is kicking Trump to the curb just like Trump kicks people to the curb. What's good for the goose is good for the gander

Nia Howard says:

So glad that many of the 18-23 year old student/ dependents are not over looked, locked out, this time!!
And, Rep Jamie Raskin, thank you for your service and dedication to our country and Constitution.
