So, Mr. Trump is threatening to veto the latest Covid spending bill because there was not enough money in the bill to personally give to the American people.
He wants $2000...The bill will give us $600.
$600? Chump change when you read some of the other stuff people are getting as " pork" in the budget. Including bringing back you being able to " write off" the 3 Martini lunch for business.
The bill which is over 5500 pages long( Ain't nobody read it) has $200 billion in money for the richest 1% of Americans.....93 acres to build the Theodore Roosevelt Library in North Dakota....A Commission on Horse Racing.....A $2.5 billion tax break for race car tracks.
I know some of you are saying " Well, people need to cut back..." And do what? Stop eating? Live in their cars? Sell a kid?
I understand, but it is a different time. You can shell out pork, help out the rich, but screw the average American who is hurting?
Where Mr. Trump is wrong.
So, the acts of Pardons and Clemency has started. ( Clemency, you don't have to serve your term in jail)
One of the 20 people on yesterday's list was former Southeast Texas Congressman Steve Stockman. My former Member of Congress.
Stockman was convicted of stealing $1.25 million dollars from his campaign. He's spent the money on kennels for his dogs, personal hot air balloon rides, a new dishwasher. etc.
He had been sentenced to 10 years and with yesterday's clemency, he will be out after 2 years.
My biggest problem is this, if the average person in the street had been given 10 years, they would have done the time.....He's an ex- Congressman....Let his ass sit in jail.
