    • Paul Slams Republicans Voting For COVID Bill: ‘You Are No Better Than Socialist Dems’ (infowars.com)

    Senator Rand Paul slammed Republicans Monday for voting in favour of a huge $900 billion coronavirus relief bill, saying that they are no better than the Democrats they routinely label as ‘socialists’.

    “To so-called conservatives who are quick to identify the socialism of Democrats: If you vote for this spending monstrosity, you are no better,” Paul urged in a speech on the Senate floor:

    The Democrat controlled House, as well as the Senate passed the legislation, also tacking on a $1.4 trillion spending bill, prompting Paul to criticise the move as the government giving away “free money”.

    “When you vote to pass out free money, you lose your soul and you abandon forever any semblance of moral or fiscal integrity,” Paul urged.

    “If free money was the answer… if money really did grow on trees, why not give more free money?” Paul said.
    “Why not give it out all the time? Why stop at $600 a person? Why not $1,000? Why not $2,000? Maybe these new Free-Money Republicans should join the Everybody-Gets-A-Guaranteed-Income Caucus? Why not $20,000 a year for everybody, why not $30,000? If we can print out money with impunity, why not do it?” the Senator proclaimed.

    In addition to Paul, only five other Republicans voted against the legislation:

    It’s ABSURD to have a $2.5 trillion spending bill negotiated in secret and then—hours later—demand an up-or-down vote on a bill nobody has had time to read. #CongressIsBroken https://t.co/EQp8BfRBHj

    Paul also noted that it would have been impossible for anyone to have read the bill:
    Quote
    My guess Big Spenders in Both Parties will pass this without anybody ever really reading it.

    Not me,  I’m a no.
    — Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) December 21, 2020

    Paul vowed to continue to ‘sound the alarm’ over excessive spending:
    Quote
    I will oppose this new debt, and I will continue to sound the alarm until we change our course here in Congress.

    • If we're going to crash the economy over this virus, and crash it in a way that the already incredibly wide wealth gap in this country gets even wider, a once-or-twice stimulus does not hurt. We did it in 2008.

    And even though they are behind many of the hard labor jobs Americans don't do, maybe this time we shouldn't give it to illegal immigrants.

    • Fiat and digital  money borrowed from the national debt that future generations will be forced to pay back through
    higher taxes.
    Better spend that $600.00 when you get it, the price of a loaf of bread may be $500.00. Germany after WW1.
    The Democrats sneaked into the 2,500 page bill that illegal immigrants will get $1,800. This is their reward in
    voting for Biden/hαɾɾιs.

    • I'm waiting to see if Rand Paul stands against the certification of electors on Jan 6.Law states that one Congressman and one Senator is needed to stop it. Two Congressman have signed on but no Senator as of yet. I know this is off topic but I am sick of grandstanding votes especially when we need something to count for the President - there is still hope.
