Cory Booker wants to give you money to get through the coronavirus crisis
2020-03-18
[NJ] U.S. Sen. Cory Spartacus Booker
U.S. Senator-for-Life from Noo Joisey, formerly the mayor of Newark. Booker was a candidate for president in the 2020 Dem primary, running on a platform of Make America Newark. He once wrote an essay on how to grope babes and is noted for having an imaginary friend named T-Bone...

crisis.

Booker joined several of his fellow wardheelers Tuesday in urging Senate leaders to pass legislation providing every American with an immediate $2,000 cash payment, and it could grow to $4,500 by the end of the year if the crisis doesn’t abate.

"In mere days, we’ve gone from life as normal to implementing dramatic changes in how we work, socialize, and live," said Booker, D-N.J. "The ramifications to our economy ‐ and to the millions of American workers and businesses who underpin it ‐ are massive and require a large-scale, aggressive federal response."

The money would be paid to every U.S. adult and dependent, as well as every Social Security, Veterans Affairs, or Supplemental Security Income recipient.

The funds automatically would go to those who file tax returns for 2019. Those who do not file a return could submit a separate Form 1040. The payment would phased out for those with higher incomes.

"Workers have seen their hours cut or eliminated entirely, and millions of American families are assessing how they will weather a potentially long-lasting economic paralysis," the senators wrote to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer

#8  Fartacus is very good at squandering millions - not just a couple million but $100 million - in other people's money.

Even his allies on the left want to know what Fartacus did with the $100 million in Church-indulgence-cum-virtue-signaling he scammed out of Zuckerberg and his wannabe politico Sheryl Sandberg in 2010.

Sandberg, recall, was one of three Silicon Valley lefty billionaires who reached out during the Kavanaugh farce to that lying slandering whore, Blowsey - her fellow HS girls' nickname for their slutty friend - Ford and put her on their private jet, flying this claimed fear-of-flying sufferer 6 hours to D.C. so she could destroy an innocent man with lies and hallucinations on national television.

We have the stupidest and shittuest political class in memory.

Senator Fartacus, the once and future Slush Fund King of Newark-BINASH, is Exhibit A for this moronic and corrupt political class.

#7  This would not be a complete solution but a good starting point would be for every member of Congress and every senior federal executive -- whose jobs are completely secure and highly compensated-- to adopt a family affected by the quarantine. Senator Booker, for example, would be responsible for paying the bills of Bubba Jones, whose small restaurant in Fairhope, Alabama, has shut down because of the quarantine.

"How much do you need this week, Bubba?"

"Well, Senator, the tires on my son's pickup are totally shot. I'd say abut $800."

"On its way, Bubba. But for gosh sake peel the Confederate flag off the bumper."
