It isn’t Covid relief, by any stretch of the imagination. It could be well argued only about 1/3 of the spending in this bill is aimed directly at COVID relief. Could reasonable people agree upon what proportion of a bill’s spending must be directed towards the tittle of a bill to legitimize said bill or its title? If so, what proportion may be reasonable? Eg....51, 60, 70, 84, 98, 100%? Would this proportion stand no matter the balance of political power in Washington? The subject of this thread seems to American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Would the agreed upon proportion of spending need to be aimed at the actual title of the bill or the colloquially used name of the bill, in this case COVID relief?

chrysostom Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure why, after starting the thread with more pointed questions, you are now going after L2A's communication style ...

They weren't meaningless. You're correct - several of these helped to pave the way for our destruction, which is now in progress. On 3/15/2021 at 3:10 AM, little2add said: The bottom line is.

While there are some countries that are doing better than us, the majority of the world is so far into meaningless debt now that we are headed toward an inevitable economic collapse. When they print money now, such as through the bill that just passed, it's just staving off that collapse. It's interesting to me that the Church has always maintained that a global economic collapse would occur in the end times (from countdowntothekingdom.com): world war, economic collapse, and social collapse, which all precede the antichrist.

I may be wrong but you can’t fix debt by borrowing more money. nearly twice revenue (GNP) revenue it comes in to the US treasury, goes out or is spent. I don’t like to be pessimistic but it is unlikely that things are not going to end well, regarding prosperity both here in the US and abroad.

Why won't things end well? https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/22/opinion/us-inflation-stimulus.html Quote Now here we are again. The US $ 1.9 trillion bailout will undoubtedly provide significant economic stimulus. Virtually everyone, from private predictors to the Fed itself, expects an economic boom, with the US economy growing at rates not seen since the 1980s. There will almost certainly be an increase in the economy. inflation too, perhaps well above the Fed’s 2% target. per year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
