#1 Reads like your typical govmint program. I'd say repeal the 16th Amendment but that not going to happen. Taxation without representation can't be as bad as taxation with representation (sarc).

#2 They could afford this, but Social Security is still insolvent...

#4 Yawn.

Small business owners spent $3 out of every $4 in PPP to pay suppliers and meet other expenses, according to the Fed report.

So not enough in Hunter's pockets.

The research found that 72% of PPP funds went to households with incomes in the top 20% of the national distribution.

I guess poor people don't have enough employees.

#5 Poor people already understand being poor. Rich people, Heaven forbid they should have to learn how.

#6 For everyone who votes GOPe as the "lesser of evils," this is what you vote for.

#7 ^ So we should:
a) Vote for the greater evil?
b) Not vote at all?

#9 So we should:

Get involved at the local level. Stop letting your local Republican committee promote GOPe types. Easy? No. More effective than holding your nose while you vote? Maybe not, but it's worth a try.

COVID made G(r)om insane. He really was not an idiot.

#11 GOPe types figure "you have nowhere else to go." Then We went to Trump. They couldn't have that.

There's the model. Don't let them pick our candidates.

#12 The article, if you read it, is about administration and distribution of the money from PPP.

#13 Yes, yes. It got filtered down thru the bureaucracy, so no one is any longer accountable.

Don't tell me GOPe didn't vote for it. They were scared stiff like everyone else.

That's no excuse.

#14 For those in Georgia, Kelly Loeffler is a great example of what happens when you sit back and let The Party drive.

See also Martha McSally (Appointed senator from A-10)

What did those great picks get us?

#16 Before anyone asks me if I'm a "purity test" guy, no. I'm not. I'll vote for Marco Rubio because he's definitely not as bad as Val Demings. Also, not as bad as Lindsey Graham, though that's the choir he sings in.

Life is not ideal. Still, we should strive...

#18 I will vote for the lesser of 2 evils before I vote for the evil of 2 lessers.
