I didn't make this sandwich -- neither baloney, tuna nor ham & cheese. Just commenting.
Yet -- Seems pretty clear to me the money came from Trump's "efforts" ( or negotiations, or ideas ). Recall how Mnuchin was heavily involved. Seems clear that no one thought it came out of Trump's pocket. Since when do politicians or political parties hesitate to take credit for stuff that is passed on their watch?. They're constantly boasting & talking up programs their side supported-- plenty of examples. So seems short sighted to try and put boundaries around who should or shouldn't be taking the credit. Swimming against a tidal wave-- multitude of examples going in the opposite direction. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I haven't heard of anyone around here sending theirs back. Of course not. Why? Because in the end all the Republican nonsense about self-reliance is just that - nonsense, when it comes to money. As for a ridiculous comment someone made about Trump not vetoing the giveaway bill, it would not have mattered if he did veto it. Congress was hell-bent on a giveaway. We could argue whether or not the giveaway was warranted and beneficial (I am not interested) but it is quite obvious that loads and loads of Republicans received and kept the money even if their income was not impacted by the virus. I am among them. All that said, don't feed me baloney about how the money came from Trump. |
