The President promises to give every adult American $5000 if Republicans retain control of Congress. That would cost about $1 trillion more in spending. Tell me this isn’t corruption on steroids.
This warrants its own thread.

Hmmm... This could make me change my thinking...
Gotta have it up front; still haven't seen my DOGE rebate. They clearly saved trillions, and we got nothing for it. Somehow, even after saving those trillions, we are going to run the highest deficit since 21. One can never get tired of winning.

Tsk tsk... Oh ye of little faith. It's all about the policies, right? Any policy that puts $5K in my pocket is right by me.
more corrupt than the 1 or 2 trillion going to Boomers. Or the trillion or so going to welfare recipients. Or the promise of single payer. Or insert a new government program a stupid politician says to buy votes when they are campaigning. All of it is government overreach.
It is enjoyable watching people justify their government checks and condemning this.
Butch is right in that this might need its own thread...
Snarl, I disagree with that. Welfare, single payer, social security, et all, everything you noted here is a government policy. Benefits that are available to EVERYONE, regardless of party. You can call it "buying votes", but it is policy, not quid pro quo.
What Trump is proposing is actual buying of votes which is spelled out as being illegal under federal law (18 U.S.C. - 597). It is quite seriously, an impeachable offense.
Now, with that said, if you truly believe that there will be a $5,000 check headed your way in December after Republicans win, well, let's just say I am sure it will arrive in the same envelope as your DOGE check, your tariff refund check, and your notice of no longer having to pay federal taxes.
Trump said he would find the election fraud! Here you go!The President promises to give every adult American $5000 if Republicans retain control of Congress. That would cost about $1 trillion more in spending. Tell me this isn’t corruption on steroids.
@big-ryan Trumps last two years, no matter how this November goes, are going to be the most unprecedented shit show we've ever seen. And that includes the last 2 years of Biden deep in his cognitive decline. He's floating actually using government money to buy votes... another Twilight Zone moment... I can't even begin to fathom what he'll come up with when he's on his way out.

You want him to call it UBI? You're making a distinction without a difference. It's not illegal. I agree it wouldn't happen even if they somehow miraculously did win both.

That's exactly what you Boomers need and deserve. We're already running 2 trillion dollar deficits to pay for your healthcare and retirement. Why not make it 3 trillion and finance a nice vacation. Maybe you and the wifey could take a trip to Hawaii. Or better yet Great Wolf Lodge?
Or better yet Great Wolf Lodge?
Hey now. Don't be besmirching the Lodge. My kids loved that place.

You old farts are expensive.
IMO, the US federal govt. is primarily a bunch of criminals. Certainly there a few that may be OK but just a few. I can name 2 that I like. THE US election process is a joke that thrives on blackballing candidates that are threats to the precious 2 party system so I'm sure there plenty others outside the Rep and Dem party which might be worth listening to their message. We will never hear it. I am willing to sell my vote and don't think 5K can be topped. THe check has to come before the election to our bank or I am not wasting my time going to the voting polls even if the Democratic Party has turned into a bunch of Socialist/Commies that need exterminated from elections. I don't think being associated with the warhead Zionists and their bribes is any much better but I'd play along if they deliver.
Lol....I've been several times. The place is expensive, food sucks, and my kids loved it as well.
My kids hit the genetic lotto and both had food allergies that neither my wife and I have (beef, dairy, pineapple, and for a short time...garlic....which REALLY sucked because garlic is in EVERYTHING). They've mostly grown out of them (oldest only has dairy now), but ages 6-12 were tough.
Great Wolf Lodge though was actually really good though about allergies. When we say to our waitress that our kids have allergies, the chef comes out personally, talked to my kids asking them what they wanted and then talked about ways that he could alter the choice to make to allergy-friendly for them. Best dining service we've ever had allergy-wise.
Yup, expensive, but I'm sometimes willing to pay more for good service.
@sig the problem is just like bidenflation watch the cost of shit 3 months after those checks go out
