Congress is set to approve the largest injection of federal cash into a growing economy in U.S. history. The nearly $2 trillion stimulus package headed to President Joe Biden’s desk Wednesday comes after lawmakers approved nearly $4 trillion last year as the economy cratered under the coronavirus pandemic. And the White House still wants trillions more in stimulus spending this year through a sweeping infrastructure package. (Snip) It will be a moment of glory for Biden when he signs the new relief act in the coming days, the centerpiece of his early agenda. But a sunny ending is not fully

Biden's 'moment of glory; may end like in Zimbabwe - where citizens were reduced to eating the zoo animals.

They make it sound like spending money is an heroic act.

Our federal government no longer has any fiscal responsibility. Even President Trump did not - or could not - impede the massive federal spending. He kept the vast majority of his campaign promises, but not this one. Balanced budget? What's that? It's a runaway freight train, and beginning to feel like the Roaring 20s shortly before the Great Depression.

Democrats are those people who are born without the Math gene. So it's understandable that they believe the economic fantasy they are pursuing. And for a while, all the injected funny money will make it seem like a magical merry-go-round ride. Indeed, I predict that we are entering the "Roaring (20)20s." Unfortunately for all of us, it will all crash...just like the "Roaring (19)20s" did. Getting a jolt of money to spend by getting it from a diamond credit card with which you also need to keep paying off your maxed out platinum card is great fun until you finally have to pay off the diamond card. Wisdom for free. Max it out.

This is rich, relief for small business owned by people of color and women. What is to stop me of asking for a bundle of change and claiming that I am black or a woman? How many will try this? I hope a lot!

Let's see, those first few Trillions were "heroic", passed with bi-partisan support and signed by PDT with great fanfare. Hurray for our side. Now, well, it's just ridiculous...Democrats spreading it around. Now those Republicans put every dollar where it did the most good, you can bet... Let's stop the nonsense. Republicans have their benefactors; Democrats theirs. They "won" the elections that mattered, and Republicans squandered any pretense at "fiscal responsibility". And that constant BRRRRRRRRR in your ears...that's the government presses cranking out more UNIPARTY dough. Not enough? They'll make more!! We're all socialists now.

A trillion dollars just doesn't go as far as it use to. A trillion here and a trillion there and pretty soon it adds up like about right now. I have a visual of a wheel barrow full of Benjamins to by a loaf of bread in our future. I'm going to cut back on my eating habits and practice consuming potted meat and baloney.

#3, when it seems like it's free money, and easy campaign giveaway, it's not hard to spend such massive sums, by either party. And, no one person will be able to stop such spending. Plus, Obama stated, it was only borrowing money from ourselves since it's coming from the Treasury, which gave it a justification, a rationalization or excuse. If H.R. 1 passes, it ends the 1787 agreement which pieced together the States, and gave them authority, which will render them all moot very soon. Dictates will come from DC, and no state will need to have representation within their territory. They will be mere underlings to the Federal authorities.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House could ultimately vote to unseat Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who won Iowa's 2nd Congressional District seat by just six votes out of more than 394,000 cast. Pelosi told reporters that the Democratic-led House Administration Committee “is following the law,” in its review of the election, and it could ultimately result in a move to force out the first-term Iowa Republican. “We will see where that takes us, but there could be a scenario to that extent,” Pelosi said. Democratic candidate Rita Hart has contested her narrow loss to Miller-Meeks, leaving the House Administration Committee to

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Thursday introduced for the second time a bill that would guarantee full payment forgiveness on rent and home mortgage payments throughout the coronavirus pandemic. Under the bill, titled the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act, there would be no accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners, as well as no negative impact on a person’s credit rating or rental history. The legislation also calls on the Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish and oversee a “Landlord Relief Fund,” to cover any losses landlords would receive as a result of the payment cancellations.

After a full day questioning perspective jurors in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, only three people have been chosen to serve on the case. The first juror, a chemist in his 30s, lives in Minneapolis and is engaged to be married. The man, who is white, described himself as a "pretty logical person" and said he has generally favorable view of the Black Lives Matter movement as he believed all lives matter equally. He said he doesn't believe that the Blue Lives Matter counter viewpoint is necessary. The man also said he had never seen the

Student loan forgiveness may become

A significant provision making any student loan forgiveness tax-free has been included in the $1.9 trillion federal coronavirus stimulus package that’s working its way through Congress and will likely soon be signed into law. Currently, any student loan debt canceled by the government can be considered taxable and levied at the borrower’s normal income tax rate. For example, if someone earns $50,000 a year, and was at a 22% tax rate, and received $30,000 in student loan forgiveness, they might be slapped with a $6,600 bill from the IRS. Soon, borrowers may be off the hook from these payments. What

Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill postponed the start of Derek Chauvin's trial in the killing of George Floyd on Monday, after an appeals court ordered him to reconsider his original decision to dismiss a third-degree murder charge against the former Minneapolis police officer. The decision came as a pool of potential jurors waited to start the selection process. The delay comes as Chauvin's defense attorney, Eric Nelson, said he is finalizing an appeal asking the Minnesota Supreme Court to review the question of whether Cahill should consider reinstating the murder charge.

SANAA - Yemen’s Houthi forces fired drones and missiles at the heart of Saudi Arabia’s oil industry on Sunday, including a Saudi Aramco facility at Ras Tanura vital to petroleum exports, in what Riyadh called a failed assault on global energy security. The Saudi energy ministry said there were no casualties or loss of property from the attacks. The defence ministry said it intercepted an armed drone coming from the sea prior to hitting its target at an oil storage yard at Ras Tanura, site of a refinery and the world’s biggest offshore oil loading facility.

Buried within the $1.9 trillion emergency spending bill that Congress sent to President Joe Biden's desk on Wednesday is a provision that could effectively block states from cutting taxes if they accept federal bailout dollars. That provision, added to the bill by the Senate last week, could put a halt to several states' plans to cut taxes this year as a way to stimulate economic growth following the COVID-19 pandemic. Depending on how the text is interpreted, the measure could also make it illegal for states to create new tax credit programs like the ones that have become a popular mechanism for expanding school choice.

It’s almost our favorite day of the year: the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, when we can fast-forward our clocks, stop the winter darkness that descends by mid-afternoon, and crawl out of our stuffy homes after dinner into the evening light.

That’s why a glorious piece of legislation popping up in the Senate is a bright spot this week — not only because it’s bipartisan, but also because it would literally grant daylight to weary Americans.

Her knowledge of the Royal Family, she said, was based only on what Harry “was sharing with me.” (Snip) she said her sense of Royal life was based on “fairytales.”
