Mitch McConnell Blocks Attempt to Quickly Approve $2,000 Stimulus Checks: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday blocked consideration of a House bill that would deliver $2,000 stimulus payments to desperate, unemployed Americans - extra funds that could help folks as they try to make ends meet during these hard times.
Now, like Mitch McConnell, many Republicans say they oppose the idea of just “handing out free money” to people who really don’t need it - people who’ll probably just spend that extra cash on frivolous things like Nike Air Jordans, Sony Play Stations, colon hydrotherapy or tumescent liposuction.
Now, I have to admit, they do make a good point. Truth be known, why I was actually planning on using that stimulus money to put a down payment on a new Bugatti Veyron. Had the color picked out and everything. I was gonna go with a kind of a “battleship gray” color. You know, to match Mitch McConnell’s face.
But, anyway - what can you say? Moscow Mitch and his Republicans - they’re always the last in line when it comes to helping their fellow Americans. Of course, in all fairness, they’re always first in line - at least when it comes to things like getting COVID vaccinations ahead of everyone else - so I suppose it all evens out.
And, now Republicans say they’re “deeply concerned about depict spending.” Well sure, at least now that a Democrat’s gonna be in the White house. The funny thing is - some of these same Republicans made so damn much money on insider info trading during the pandemic - why, they could almost afford to give Americans the $2000.00 themselves.
