THE OUTRAGE
THE OUTRAGE
When the American public REJECTED the INSULT, of the Republican offer, of just $600, in a new "stimulus" plan, what the party did not plan for was the result of their latest plan.
While the party had PLANNED for the $2,000 to be a "Once in a lifetime" plan, the problem was that, after the $600 fiasco, the public questioned the next offer.
Questions which turned the "Once, in a lifetime", into "To meet current, economic concerns".
In order to maintain "power", the party decided to "oversee" how the $2,000 payments were being spent. They felt that "If we can PROVE that people are taking the money, and "blowing" it in delivery food, champaign, caviar, etc, then this will prove our point, that further stimulus is NOT needed."
Whether going from start to finish, with the payments, or choosing, randomly, they party would find that between 85% to 89% of the "stimulus" was going to pay either overdue bills, home repairs, or stocking home pantries.
No one was going out, putting down payments on cars, buying stereo equipment, or eating at five-star restaurants.
In fact, purchases, of food, were either at food stores, or fast food places.
Gas sales did go up, some what, but this was dismissed as people re-fuelling, after driving to grocery stores.
Add in the purchase, of major appliances, and these amounts covered between 92%, and 96% of all, stimulus-related purchasing.
Only about 2%, to 3%, went for booze, and cigarettes.
Once I verified that the $2,000 was NOT a "Once in a lifetime" deal, my own, buying list would include a replacement chest freezer, a "New" refrigerator (A two year old display model, which the store was willing to sell, at deep discount, just to avoid having to pay to ship it back to manufacturer.), and a replacement, home, computer.
Since federal mandate said that this money was not allowed to be counted as "income", even Social Security could not touch one penny.
As for me, I just kept most of it on deposit, for "necessary purchases".
The party had So much hoped for extravagance, so that no further stimulus would be needed, even to be considered, that they did not know what to do, when itemizations proved that only about 3% of the money was going for "pleasure".
Millions of dollars, having gone to pay back due rent, and utility bills, while hundreds of thousands had gone for food, and personal hygiene.
Tens of thousands had gone for appliance purchases, and several thousand had gone for fast food.
When the party tried to claim that fast food should be considered an abuse of the money, the Democrats would counter with "Even when I go shopping, I buy fast food. Shopping is exhausting, and even I like to eat a quick meal, after."
This is when the party "stood down", on the fast food matter.
Now, myself, being a single male, did receive several of those e-mail ads, about women offering "services", to men, for bill-paying money, and some, even I was tempted to consider but then I reminded myself of whta else I could do, with that money.
Sure, sex is part, of being human, but I was not certain that I wanted to "blow" any benefits, on it. No matter how pretty I thought the women were.
Well, when the party realized what the general public had done, with the stimulus money, this changed their plan.
After Mr. Biden accepted Executive Office, the party knew they were in even deeper trouble. This because they KNEW how Mr. Biden felt, and how he would question the need for nearly-un-limited funding, for Middle East operations.
It is even reported that Mr. Biden had, as Vice President, orderred $50 million removed from an appropriations bill, since this money, while logged for military action, was to be used, state-side.
The party had wanted the money listed as "For miscellanious purposes", but the vice president had stood firm. The bill would tell WHERE the money was going, and for WHAT.
Since no one wanted to admit that the money was going for wining, and dining, arms manufacturers, the money was cut out of the budget.
Now, the then Vice President was, NOW, President. This would mean itemizing things that the party did NOT want itemized. This is why, in order to avoid a senate review, maybe $20 million was cut from the military budget.
It would be the same president who would ASK the general public "Which would you prefer? A third round, of stimulus payments, OR to return to work?"
When over 98% responded "Re-open the economy", Mr. Biden would take his health advisors advice, and return the United States from "Severe Contamination", down to level three. This being just one step from "All Clear."
It was the health advisor who had informed a press conference that "Of course, people get sick, in the winter. This is why it is called Cold and Flu season. We have about as much chance, of "winning" this as we would have with stopping a flood, with a teaspoon."
Not only had the party LOST its advantage, with the second stimulus, but they woiuld, now, be losing the advantage, of millions, in campaign contribtuions, from the sales of disinfectants.
The public would be returning to normal buying habits. This, as the health advisor would, slowly, move the nation back to level four.
As far as the rent moratorium went, it would be revised, giving tenants a specified amount of time, to re-pay over-due rent.
This would reduce court back-logs, to only those who "enjoyed" being evicted.
While the party would say that "Return, to controlled care will cost tax-payers too much money." When Democrats would say "We are listening. What is your alternative?" Problem was that the party had no alternative. All they focused on was reducing spending. Not the results of the spending reductions.
This is why the party voted "Present", when the vote came up, to return the worst patients to controlled care.
Yes, nursing homes did cost tax-payers thousands of dollars, every day, but WHAT was the alternative?
Family, and friends, would NOT take the people in, since the people had stolen from those, formerly close to them.
Landlords would not accept the people since the people had long lists, of evictions, for refusing to pay rent.
As for payee's. Due to budget reductions, there just weren't enough of these people to go around. This left only two options. Either provide more funding, for more payee's, of return patients to controlled care.
While the party would say "This is a personal question, NOT a policy decision. Let families decide, and cover the costs."
Fortunately, the Democrats had control of both House, and Senate, as well as the White House. This is why the party was told "Unless you have a better suggestion, we are going back to the tried and true, regardless of cost."
The party would, again, vote "Present".
BY 2024, the economy would be well on the road to recovery, and Mr. Bidens rating could not be higher.
I know that, in an effort, to TRY to dis-credit Mr. Biden, in 2024, the party tried to highlight the fact that I, a white man, was dating ebony girls.
When the overwhelming anser was "So what? He is of legal age. He may date whomever he chooses." Mr. Biden would "sail" to another victory.
This, since all the party had to run on was "The only way to have a true recovery, is via tax reductions. Only when we allow companies to reduce their overhead, will the re-invest, in America."
Sorry, Charlie. There was just too much evidence to show that corporations did NOT re-invest savings in American jobs.
The party would set its sights on Decision 2028. This is when they would try to re-take the White House.
Until then, all they could do was sit back, and let the Democrats enjoy themselves.
