#1 I didn't like it when Obama passed his 'stimulus' in 2009 ('cuz it didn't do shit other than to give 500 or so state hacks easy jobs at Mass. Highway from what I saw), and I don't like this one either.

#5 Oh - the House still needs to pass this one (right?), so there's still a chance it will die. At least we got that going for us...

#8 This makes me a bit jumpy, and I'm only considering the chance of inflation. Consider the cost of replacing shelf items the same as what the sale price was, destroying all the profit generated by that sale.

#9 "how the hell are we going to pay off the trillions"

Let's start with a 10% excise tax on the gross income of all "fire in the crowded theater" major Legacy Infotainment Enterprises.

Take every dime from university endowments.

Collectivize the assets of every socialist/communist.

Give the social media behemoths 15 days to start treating everyone that uses their platforms equally, then nationalize them and sell the assets to right leaning individuals/entities if they fail to do so.

It's long past time for the Right to do a Rahm Emmanuel.
