That's not what you said. You're not repeating yourself.  You said, "A battle between people who want to be sick and people who don't?  How odd!!". You accused people concern about their economic security of not caring whether they get sick.  People and governments are concerned with both and are acting accordingly.

Where did Trump ever give a rat's ass about people getting sick from Covid. He mocked people that wore masks. He in-sighted people to go against lock down rules in Democratic ruled states. He held rallies where there was no mask and no social distancing. Chetos had zero compassion for the dying.

Many people feel that China spread Covid to move into the number one place in the world more quickly than the timetables were projecting.

Whose this many...the same people that feel Chetos got robbed during the election and are sending Chetos their hard earned money because the poor bastard does not have enough. Is it these people you are talking about?

Unemployment is decreasing in lockdown lite states like TX (from 13.5% to 6.9%) and FL (13.8% to 6.5%) at a reasonable rate.  It is remaining pretty high in lockdown heavy states like CA (16.4% to 9.3%) and NY (16% to 9.6%), and decreasing more slowly. 

Although it is true the pandemic is effecting the economy, the lockdowns are holding the economy in certain states back as well.  I would classify this as "misleading."

The drops percentage wise are pretty much the same.

Well look at how well he handled the death of his "dear friend" Herman Cain:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/trump-on-herman-cains-death-he-was-a-very-special-person/2020/07/30/34bf0271-6b75-4709-90ca-b60c1388edfb_video.html
Such emotion, well, when he got to use the racist name for Covid-19.
Zero no, 000.25, maybe.  :D

I get it. Democrats criticized Trump's picks so Republicans criticize Biden's picks. Turn about is fair play. It's your turn, so have at it. I have no interest in doing a comparison of all of Trump's picks and all of Biden's picks, and then arguing about whose are worse. Some others may be up for it though.

Didn't Trump fire all his picks?

I think Trump had higher "turnover" in his cabinet selections than previous presidents, but I don't know the stats so I wouldn't swear to it. It's a losing argument anyway. The response is that it is a good thing to fire people who aren't doing a good job rather than let them keep screwing up. The response to that is if you had made good selections in the first place they wouldn't be screwing up and need replacing. The response to that is blah, blah, blah. Before you know it, you'll just be calling each other names and throwing stuff. Sometimes I like to do it anyway. There is a certain satisfaction derived from calling other people names and throwing stuff. I think the technical term for it is cathartic. That's what you say when someone tells you that you are acting like a three year old. You tell them you are just being cathartic. Certain gestures enhance the effect. Trump engages in cathartic behavior most of the time. That is why his face is orange.

Meanwhile, not only has Trump said nothing about the record number of people who died just yesterday of Covid-19, not a peep about the SolarWinds hack that breached gov networks. Maybe he'll get pissed now at Putin for accepting Biden as President elect and do something?

If you don't need it, saving it rather than blowing it is good advice. But "bulking up" your retirement savings with $600 seemed like a hilarious choice of words to me. Maybe it didn't to you. So it goes. I'll be saving mine and giving it back to the government in April, so it's more like a loan anyway.

600 bucks could buy you 100 shares of a 6 dollar stock.  Who knows if you pick right you might find the Apple.

Why are you bringing up Trump? I never mentioned him not did anyone else.  You're obsessed.

Yup, like Trump's big tax cut. Look who it helped the most. But either way, if the money is spent, it aids the economy. Or as my wife's grandfather would say: "Money is like manure, you gotta spread it around and watch things grow'. And no, I don't attribute that as his original quote, but he said it (and did it) often.

Alan does not seem to realize who the current president of the US is, not that he's working.

Ah, one of the new Rino’s who doesn't care about the deficit.  :'(
That sound you're not hearing: Ronald Reagan rolling in his grave.

Trump’s Wasteful Tax Cuts Lead To Continued Trillion Dollar Deficits In Expanding Economy
Less than a week after Treasury Secretary Mnuchin repeated the fanciful claim that the Trump tax cuts of 2017 would pay for themselves, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) proved him wrong.

Expanding? Not so much now.

Actually, Reagan wasn't so hot (unlike Bill and Obama) 😘:

Wow more National Debt.  But didn’t you just say we need to spread the money around?  Yes you did.

You do understand don’t you that its not the President that controls the purse, it’s Congress.

That's what's known in the trade as fickle conservatism.

Yes I did! I'm not a Republican or Rino or a hypocrite; I don't care about the debt. Never did. You and your party?
In terms of the National Debt; I provide facts as to the President and his party that has a good track record.
You guys, not too well.😝

Twitter and the White House have both denied reports that a Dutch security researcher was able to log into Donald Trump’s infamous Twitter account with the impossibly easy to guess password “MAGA2020!” But it turns out that really did happen, at least according to Dutch prosecutors.

Many people feel that China spread Covid to move into the number one place in the world more quickly than the timetables were projecting.

Many people feel that the earth is flat, that global warming is a hoax, that Biden stole the election, that vaccines are a communist plot, that the Holocaust never happened, that hangar 57 (or whatever) hides alien spaceships, that China intentionally created and spread covid, that microwave ovens cause cancer -- the list goes on and on. These people are scientifically known as "halfwits," with the alternate term of "morons." Yet they are allowed to vote.

No you did about my stance on the debt which was as expected utterly wrong.
If you are not a Republican, you can go on record and tell us.
