Why do Republicans think it's okay to bail out Wall Street but it's not okay to help hard working Americans who are the backbone of the economy?

The left abandoned the working class a while ago. Those same truckers you use as an example are the kind of people you and your kind have been insulting, and putting down for years as uneducated hicks, for not agreeing with your politics.


Fuck outta here with your fake sympathy. Its not even like you're correct. No way will bezos, gates et cetera (who just so happen to be Democrats 🤔) be paying for any of this. The middle class will get fucked again.

The previous admin's PPP loan forgiveness was DOUBLE the student loan forgiveness; why do republicans ignore that fact???

During the previous administration, 10.2 million Paycheck Protection Program loans were forgiven or partially forgiven. With average forgiveness $72,000, that works out to $734 billion in loan forgiveness subsidies to business owners. Compare that with student loan forgiveness, a $300 billion program.

Why didn't the right-wingers get upset about that huge transfer of debt onto the backs of taxpayers?? Why don't they get upset about the decades long series of subsidies to farmers???

[quote]As of July 4 this year, 10.2 million PPP loans, introduced to support small businesses, had been fully or partially written off.

The first loans were authorized by the CARES Act in March 2020, which provided $350 billion of fully guaranteed funds.

In April 2020, another $310 billion was allocated via the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act. A further $285 billion came in the second stimulus package of December 2020.

The government's Pandemic Response Accountability Committee found that 97 percent of PPP loans were used to help fund payroll. The average amount of PPP loan forgiveness was $72,500.[/quote] [b]https://www.newsweek.com/what-ppp-loan-forgiveness-scheme-paycheck-protection-program-student-debt-1736775[/b]


Full disclosure: I've never had student loans; my wife paid hers in full.

You mean like the billions sippy-cup gave the fat cats in silicon valley with his build back better plan?

@sunsporter1649 says [quote]Yeah, spread the misery around, stick it to everyone, it's the demonocrat way[/quote] Nope. Dead wrong. Let's take stock market growth as a long term proxy for economic growth.

"From 1952 through June 2020, annualized real stock market returns under Democrats have been 10.6% compared with 4.8% for Republicans." https://www.forbes.com/sites/sergeiklebnikov/2020/07/23/historical-stock-market-returns-under-every-us-president/#51469926faaf

Stock markets grow more than TWICE as fast under democratic presidents, and over the long term that correlates with higher GDP growth and other positive economic factors. The evidence is clear: if you like economic growth, elect more democrats!!

Socialism for the rich. "Free enterprise" for everyone else. Wall Street would have it no other way.

It's like athletes gambling on their own games. However it's not only the Republicans playing this one. Dems are just as guilty and just as nefarious

not because of REps...who is in office? giving away the farm??? how about they work for their money like I do??? i don't get handouts. i paid for my education by working.

well this is funny Biden is talking to the U.N. and says America will donate 2.9 Billion dollars of food aide to Ukraine. Well what about the US.

Political donations

In retrospect the head of the machine and the guts of it keeps life moving. Every thing one sees, eats-hear-touch and so-on is wall street...

Because they're not afraid of the people.

the rich got rich from taking from the poor..
