Bribery or Refunds?
Timothy Birdnow
Democrats are furious at President Trump for offering a return of people's ow money just prior to an election. At the GOP Midterm Convention Mr. Trump said he would refund $5,ooo dollars to the American People.
The acrimony was swift and terrible from lthe mainstream media, with accusations of bribery and saying Trump cannot do this. But since when has the media ever cared about politicians, particularly Democrats, bribing the public? What are programs like Medicare, or Medicaid, or SNAP but ways to bribe the People?
Apparently the media has forgotten The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Obama's "stimulus" which among other things Provided "relief" aka money to the poor and underprivileged, as well as money for things like healthcare and other goodies. How is this different from what Trump is doing? Yes, Obama had to get Congressional approval for the spending bill, but by law Mr. Trump does not have to do so; he's using surplus funds.
So what is Trump doing? He's refunding money taken from the People in the first place. Is it politically motivated? Sure. But Trump has gotten the budget deficit down and now he's giving the People back the money that should never have been taken from them in the first place.
It ain't bribery if it's money that rightfully belongs to someone else that you "borrowed".
Pajamas media has a list of media outlet heads exploding, and well they should; this could swing the midterms and they know it.
So suck on THAT liberals! Your usual tricks aren't working now. Normally you would attack, attack, attack and you are used to Republicans not offering anything of substance. Now they are offering enough money to buy a cheap used car (maybe) or at least catch up on a lot of overdue bills.
Trump is showing he's the best friend the working man has. Too bad the labor unions refuse to see it that way.

When biden promised 2 grand the media applauded him. As the Babylon Bee points out its wealth redistribution on Trumps part.

Democracy can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy.

Mike, I remember that and how the media thought it great Biden was handing out currency. But now that Trump is doing it they hate it. I'm not crazy about it - the money should be returned based on what you pay if we are going to do that - but sauce and geese and ganders.
Indeed so Bill. The quote from Alexander Fraser Tytler is apt. Or as Plato said, a democracy quickly degenerates into a tyranny of special interests. We have reached that point now and we will collapse from loose fiscal policy as surely as these men predicted.
