Dude, you must be having a bad day, eh?
I am electing not to participate in the "FIRE-related" political topics because its an oxymoron. It looks like we are "allowed" to talk about the bill, but NOT tell how we feel about it. That defeats the purpose, it is a form of censorship............

IMO, "censorship" is a loaded word because it can conjure up images of jackbooted government agents sending people off to reeducation camps and using the force of law to tell people what they can and can not say.I am electing not to participate in the "FIRE-related" political topics because its an oxymoron.

That sense of the word doesn't apply to private property, and I find it ludicrous to suggest that people should be required to allow any kind of speech or expression to be made on their property. Complaints about "censorship" on private property are like fingernails scratching a chalkboard to me, sorry.
Well, that's true, presuming that a critical mass of people believes that the privilege of being able to argue anything-goes, full contact politics is the make-or-break issue with respect to their decision to participate.Your private property would be worth about as much as most internet boards without interesting people willing to post here for free.

Give up, it's a done deal. The only thing they are wrestling with now is which sides pet projects get the most funding from our grandchildren...and their grandchildren...and...The further along this bogus "stimulus bill" gets to passing, the worse my day gets.......with the way we were headed, I would rather give $200 billion to the bankrupt Big Three than throw around taxpayer money at projects that will NOT stimulate anything but the size of government...........
Yup, and it is even more with the good senate's public servants addons. Over 900 billion. I can't comprehend that amount of money.Give up, it's a done deal.

Because you'd probably do something stupid and irresponsible with it, like put it into savings or pay off debt.Why not just hand out $12,000 directly to my household and let me do with it as I wish?

They could give it to me on the condition that I would spend it. Make it some sort of coupon that would expire in 6 months. I'd take it!
Dreaming of a $3,000 coupon..., and...
Not to mention that if we gave $3000 for every person in a household, we'd be rewarding the woman who just had octuplets with an extra $24,000. Not sure I want to go there...
Yep. FIRE related politics, to be precise...This is "politics."
From what we have seen lately, even rice can be controversial. I never dreamed that the street food thread would end up getting closed on early.
