What I expect from my dad: "we couldn't get a stimulus because Nancy Pelosi wanted to steal 1 trillion dollars to bail out her failed state."

Edit: he said this when they were discussing the first stimulus.

Lol what solution would a genuine fiscal conservative have here?

There's a reason fiscal conservatives can't win on their own and need to glob on to the religious right

Keynes told us that we need austerity in the good times to cover floating the bad times, but nobody ever listened. Instead, we're in a constant state of "emergency" for political reasons, and thus completely fucked when an actual disaster happens.

The Republican party has made it quite clear that they're willing to hold the American people hostage if it means getting their way, during the government shutdowns of Obama's presidency. I don't know why anyone would be surprised they'd do this when they're in control.

Trump is literally doing a press conference right now and just announced he is extending enhanced unemployment and eviction moratoriums till the end of the year by executive order. This topic did not age well. Mostly because it was built on half truths.

And he's forced to do this because Congress cant come to a deal within themselves. It's not the white houses fault. Trump isn't in charge of Congress.
