    I think they will issue some low or zero interest rate loans, would you rather see them go bankrupt and all the people lose their jobs? We MADE money off TARP.

    nope, I am ok with the bailouts, just the right usually wants to help the corps, the left the working class on down, just the way it is

    if the government cut spending by 1 trillion a year tomorrow, the economy woudl collapse

    No the right is in favor of SBA loans why don't you worry about what you want instead of assign these false wants to the right. And not if that cut is because we have fewer people on government dependency programs because they are working, the economy would explode.

    raise the min wage and the working class will not need as much assistance, the problem is the min wage has not kept up with inflation

    why does the right not care about helping the working class

    the economy would not explode if the government pumped less money into it, the opposite in fact - that is part of the system we have, it allows businesses to hire cheap labor - prices would go up if the government stopped all government welfare and food stamp programs, society would have many more poor, crime would go up...

    That’s not true, Dems are far less charitable. Dems want other people to help the people in need, they don’t actually believe in doing it themselves

    Congress can prohibit judicial review of most of the laws it passes. If it allows judicial review then it accepts the courts decision, whatever it is.

    I have seen countless job openings that pay more than the minimum wage. The easiest way to get a pay raise is to get a higher paying job at another employer.

    This isn't about raising wages wages were already rising, this is about getting business and people through a slowdown due to a health emergency. The left doesn't care about the middle class just people who are dependent on government. And money is being pushed into the economy under Trumps plan you should pay more attention.

    the more money people make, the more they spend, min wage needs to keep up with inflation

    glad to hear you pay people more than the min wage, good for you, not everyone does, some pay the least they can get away with


    I have heard government making laws that people can't go off the grid either, want to live totally off solar and rain water... too bad, still need to hook up to public utilities and pay them a monthly fee or they will take your property and kick you out and don't try to sleep in your car.....

    some places are even trying to make it illegal to sleep in your own car now to prevent people from saving money, government wants to force you to pay rent

    walmart lets rv's park there at night, but some cities making it illegal for walmart to allow that... they want retired rv'ers to rent a hotel room instead

    Nope real studies...yes look at him...any other president donate his pay check? Nope.

    Libs are simply selfish and greedy and do not donate. Study after study has found this to be the case.

    So there are now 60 posts in this thread, and nobody actually is debating what the judge actually ruled on.

    The judge said that the EXECUTIVE BRANCH doesn't have the right to tell the states what to do with SNAP. 19 states sued over the administrations new “rules”. Keep in mind this isn't a law that was enacted by the legislative branch to set the new rules, it was the executive branch setting a new rule. Show me in the constitution where the executive branch creates, or changes laws ? (SNAP is part of a law)

    She also said that the Trump administrations assertion that the courts have no right over the Executive Branch is not based in reality. You may not like the WAY she sad it, but she is 100% correct. But i am sure that someone will come in here in the next few posts claiming that the executive branch has unlimited powers and that its a left wing conspiracy. Hell I give it 2 posts before the term “activist judge” gets thrown in

    I have one very simple question: Do you honestly think that the federal court system has no rights over the executive branch ?

    The nation was founded to be the antidote to a king, lords and serfs but you are right, these tools will go with a supreme ruler every time. They are the descendants of the loyalists to the throne and they are the enemy of Democracy.

    You can't find an example I guess. Good luck with that being a victim of the SCOTUS thing.

    Yeah, nobody liked Obama so they made him eat worms. Did you know that Obama claimed to be a Constitutional scholar? No ****. He actually claimed that. His crap was tossed out on a regular basis. He was lazy and felt he was entitled. It wasn't that judges picked on him.

    Yep, I know that. Those that can't do something teach I guess. There is no reason any of his edicts should have been thrown out by SCOTUS accept that he sucked at Constitutional law. His students should have asked for their money back.
