Government Just Announced a New Stimulus – This DESTROY The Economy
WTF!? This really better be a stunt or a bad joke because if it's not then we're faced with more bad economics. This proposal is exactly the SH&% that is supposed to be ending. The government wouldn't be giving anyone "their" money back, just borrowing more to make it look like that would what happens.

Is this the result of MX-Ultra, or is it a paid political advertisement?Panic
If we had direct taxes, we wouldn't even be in this situation.And make ANY direct taxation an immediate Unconstitutional Law with anyone trying to collect subject to Treason charges. Gotta make sure it doesn't come back.
Well it sure ain't a direct tax. What it is, is a tax on privileged activity.It already is. The Moore decision last year confirmed that the income tax is an indirect tax.
Really, any savings should go towards debt reduction, and then lower tax rates so as not to collect more than needed.No thank you. I had enough inflation when they sent out the covid money. None of that went to non tax payers and only tax payers were supposed get it. Not sure how all the welfare people qualified but they did. However, us non taxpayers were certainly screwed by the inflation.
MK-Ultra?Is this the result of MX-Ultra, or is it a paid political advertisement?
I love his hat. He learned nothing from the LA fires. Would he be full of the warm fuzzies if the FBI was headed by a black dyke with an 85 IQ?
Yeah. These alphabet acronyms and names, just boggle the mind.MK-Ultra?

Direct taxes, is how gov SHOULD be taxing people.
Direct taxes have to be uniform. Ie: same amount for everyone paying.

However, if all the gov does is to return excess funds that taxpayers already paid, it won't be inflationary. How could it be? That money already existed. You giving $$$ to the gov to spend, is no different than if you had spent it.
The reason the covid funds were inflationary, was that those funds were newly created and then given to people to spend at a time when production of goods and services had been artificially slowed and/or stopped. Ie: lots more money chasing fewer goods and services.
On the subject of DOGE refunds, anyone complaining about what they are doing, should go on the record now that they will be returning any check they may receive from the gov related to DOGE activities.
Whats he going to do about it? I agree with him but he has no control over how the states run their elections. I think a constitutional amendment would need to be passed in order for that to change.
BREAKING: Trump just told a group of governors - Democrats included - they need to switch to paper ballots in their elections and same-day voting.
He also said to verify citizenship to vote and voter ID, and that Elon Musk supports this.
"It's called 'watermark.' It's impossible to copy, impossible to cheat... highly sophisticated."
"Those 4 things... if you did 2-day or 3-day voting, [fine]... Other states too, they were weeks after the election. [Imagine] if it were a close election."
"I did ask
@ElonMusk
- he said, 'Computers are not meant for voting. Too many transactions taking place.'"
"Paper ballots - I hope, certainly the Republican governors... it'll cost you 8% of what the costs are now."
