#2 More productive than paying people an extra $30,000 to stay home.

P.S. I know of multiple households that have two people claiming the extra unemployment benefits and one household with three (or were until July 31). Now they are pissed that "their money" has stopped. Funny how misplaced benevolence becomes an entitlement so quickly.

#3 $650,000,000 for wing replacements to the Boeing A—10

Anyone got an objection to bringing the old A10 airframes up to 0 hours of use. Just asking for some groundpounder friends.

#4 I am for most of those things, especially with a conflict with China on the near horizon.

The frustrating part is the GOP has to put this in a bill to try to get the demoncrats to pass it.

They would kill it otherwise.
