Why, no. No, it isn't. All that crap was already done at the state and local level by local politicians responding to media-induced lemming panic.
This bill is about pacifying the public with about $300 billion worth of freshly printed funny money while printing and passing out $5.7 trillion in corporate pork.
Well, no, of course it isn't. Abuse of power is...

How do you bail out everyone? In other words, who pays for the bailout when everyone is being bailed out?
I suppose that it could be feasible to wholesale the 390 million acres of land they are squandering but in reality they will just destroy the dollar, default on payment, use military might and hegemony to bully their way into staying relevant.
But the world is not asleep and it takes just a few key areas for the realization that the emperor has no clothes.
And then, sure as this pandemic has shown, the American people will gobble up VAT and etc. and gladly pay 60% to be considered as highly as serfs.
Or they won’t. And in which case this pandemic will look like a free lunch.
Do these corporations sell to ghosts? I'm sick and tired of people claiming apologetics like this are arguments. The government is still picking winners and losers. We, the People can only pick the winning companies when we're allowed to keep and spend the wealth we create.
What's wrong? You afraid free people won't maintain a military larger and more expensive than all other militaries combined?
Probably not a smart move by GOPA wing leadership:

President Donald Trump on Friday called for ousting from the Republican Party a GOP congressman who has signaled that he could hold up an impending House vote on the Senate's $2 trillion coronavirus emergency relief package.
"Looks like a third rate Grandstander named @RepThomasMassie, a Congressman from, unfortunately, a truly GREAT State, Kentucky, wants to vote against the new Save Our Workers Bill in Congress," Trump wrote on Twitter.

Why not take a figure of speech that has broad ambiguity in a language built on literal bastardization and claim that you can define it. I have just as much claim to this living language as you do so I am taking this back. Abuse of power in this context is abusing power not the legal definition. Abusing power is doing something that you have the power to do that has no actionable consequence on the consequence that may result in unintended consequences
Strike while the iron is hot! Isn't that why they say?

You must not work in the private sector. Most companies do business with other companies but most importantly help people pay rent. Small businesses and self employment disappeared when technologies allowed for global markets that pay peoples rents through better utilization of labor that results in less poverty. Most people would be out of work and productive labor would be taken over by foreign markets if corporations failed because people let the liberal medical industrial complex economic terrorists effectively rob them.
So what? And how does that factoid lead you to such a startlingly misleading conclusion?
Let people keep their money and the winners will be companies that serve the people, or help other companies serve the people. Let government steal all the money and dole it out, and the only survivors--corporate or human--will be those who lick jackboots.
Libtards are playing with people's emotions by downplaying a disease which is killing one fifteenth as many victims as the flu and by defending the Constitution?. In what parallel universe?
Did you make a mistake quoting Gunny? Shouldn't you have addressed that to your straw man?
Are we letting a desire for making quick responses lead us to posting quantity over quality?
Unless one is a warmongering bootlicker who considers accountability in government to be fruity.
Filling hospital beds to overflowing with sick people is going to lead the health care industry to the kind of cash crisis that enables hostile takeovers?
Can you demonstrate how that might work? Or is this just desperate, manipulative button-pushing?
Supplies and demand and price fixing. Most medical workers are over worked and under paid. They dont get hazard pay and they are the ones the most at risk. People die every day due to the fact that we have a rationing system and the numbers are astronomical and not counted. People dying from mistakes and malpractice or given bad medicine or lack of medicine so they can prop up the systems costs by basically being legal drug dealers.
What bums me out about things like this is that the main thing acomplished is the alienanation of libertarians from the mass of Republicans. The GOP is our best ally, for better or for worse. Choosing to create this battle won't change the outcome. It will burn bridges. I am not saying that Massie isn't right. I am saying this will be a net negative for his political power and influence.

I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.
After the United States has gone extinct.
My argument implies nothing of the kind. And you trying to call me a liberal is mind-bendingly ridiculous. That is a propaganda technique that was used extensively against Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012.Your argument implies that Massie can stop the bill or win hearts and minds. Your argument is an emotional liberal argument.
The fact is that there is a lot more than just pork barrel spending in this thing. There are Pelosi agenda items that will completely transform this nation towards a socialist paradigm. When VoterID is banned nationwide, same day registration is required, and ballot harvesting is permitted, we will end up with Democrat supermajorities in both chambers and as President and it will be these Republicans and fearmongers that did it.
GET THEM ON THE RECORD, and six month from now when everyone starts discovering the pure Marxist communist crap that was passed into law in this thing and start scrambling to undo it before their terms are up Massie will look like the hero he is, and some of these idiots will get fired.
This coronavirus is as virulent as the common cold and as deadly as the common flu. There is nothing about it to justify this insane response. This whole thing is the Media gone batshyt crazy and we are going to literally destroy the American republic because of a basically normal seasonal bug?
My God man, if we are supposed to be willing to turn this country into the Soviet Union because of a bad seasonal cold, is there ANYTHING we are supposed to stand for at all?
He is getting tons of support and donations. He is top of DRUDGE: http://www.drudgereport.com/

He is taking a stand, for you & me.
