This is the welfare state that Dems were warned about....the GOP kept telling everyone that if you keep printing money, and passing never-ending stimulus plans..there will be no incentive to work...the Dems and their voters kept saying "it isn't that simple"....well now look at us. We are EXACTLY where the GOP said we would be months ago.

History has shown that whenever the government creates a social entitlement--even if intended to be temporary---it becomes impossible to get rid of. NOW we have large swaths of able-bodied adults who DO NOT want to work, and expect their $300 a week checks, free healthcare, free childcare, free college and all while being told that they are "owed" it because employers have been hoarding the profits and "exploiting" labor.

One long term trend is towards self-employment, as hourly wage jobs become too underpaid and too miserable. Many employees don't want their jobs but haven't yet found a way to be their own bosses, or they're not desperate enough to try something else. Corporate employers won't solve that problem. Corporations can't change what they are: greed machines that use people as things.

Default Soros destroyed 15 countries economically

Interesting read: How Soros (a liberal) destroyed 15 countries economically. Is he at it again?

Dems really don't make policy choices based on how things actually work, rather based on emotional feelgoodism... so they will keep doing what they are doing until they are backed against a corner and it's clear their policy choices are utter failures, and then lose the house and senate in 2022.

But the rich are getting richer... Looks like Biden is working out great for the .1%...


The bottom 99% of American society is getting what you would expect when you place a demented ignoramus in the highest office of the land. Vote in stupid, get stupid results.

And people still refuse to get vaccinated (which would easily end the pandemic, which would get people back to work).

There were shortages in the food and bev, hospitality industry for years now.

Pandemic didn't create it.

There was also a shortage in labor for construction before the pandemic.

There was also growing prices for lumber before the pandemic.

Many of these problems existed before the pandemic, during the Trump admin.

But they weren't problems to the GOP

It's shocking after all the money spent, we ended up with a jobs report and outlook as bad as this. Now they want to spend 6 trillion dollars more.

My question is how much is enough? How many trillions spent will satisfy some people? We are already way past being able to pay it back even if they confiscated all the money every American citizen has.

Is there ever going to be an end to spending trillions of dollars, increasing the size of government and creating social programs? Seriously. At what point is enough enough?

Just because there was a problem before doesn’t mean that to take actions that exacerbate the problem don’t matter. The lake was already polluted before I began dumping oil in it. My wife had issues with men before I started beating her.
