Whichever one of you said that is a genius.

You forgot to mention that Republicans are considering that the government should take an equity stake in exchange for grants to the airline industry (as opposed to giving them loans.)

Government ownership of the means of production is about as socialist as it gets.

Isn't that how Obama bought one of the car manufacturers during a recession

I just saw where he used his power to take their oversight away.

I thought taking an ownership stake in the airlines was part of Pelosi's stimulus plan.

I support the idea of a line item veto for the President no matter which party holds the Presidency. With a line item veto, the people know exactly what the President wants funded, so they can v**e for or against him in the next e******n. It will also help keep Congress from sneaking pork barrel spending into the budget. Maybe we can balance the budget, or at least close the deficit down a little.

It was proposed by Steve Mnuchin, the Republican Secretary of the Treasury.
What Pelosi proposed was that the bailout include requirements to reduce the pollution the airlines pump into the air we breathe.

Technically the U.S. government did not buy any of the car manufacturers.
What it did was buy stock in some of the companies as a way to infuse cash into them so they did not fail (and cause an estimated loss of 1M jobs.) Ultimately the government sold its ownership in the manufacturers, at a los. Only the GM bailout netted a profit for the country as a whole.

I didn't really know the details until I researched. It's an interesting read.

I believe the argument is , why not a clean bill that was designed "PURELY " for emergency .
Instead Pelosi added items that "DEMAND " House and Senate debate.
But we don't have time for debate because the Bill was supposed to be partisan and clean.
This was a Pelosi (l*****t ) underhanded strategy Period.

What you are talking about is an ideal that, unfortunately, rarely (if ever) occurs in politics of any type.
Republicans are certainly not immune any more than Democrats or Independents.

The Senate bill was created in conference, with no input from Democrats at all. So why anyone is surprised at the partisan amendments and public debate is beyond me.
Not to mention the Republican bill tried to sneak in defunding Planned Parenthood completely.

You cannot have your cake and eat it too, my friend.
