Wow, talk about "bribery" !!!

Of course the Dems/Commies promise lots
of "free money" too - will NEVER deliver.

To a POINT the Trump tariff/etc scheme has
brought lots of money/industry into the USA
proper. This DOES have several advantages.

However straight-up cash payments ... THAT
smells of an ELECTION.

IMHO, don't NEED straight-up cash ... I saved
my money, invested, what you're supposed to do.
Did NOT feel a need for the latest Escalade
every year. MY personality. Not trying to
impress anyone.

Alas ...... TOO many people do NOT save/invest.
They SPEND every fucking dime and then a LOT
more. They're DEEPLY in debt, even in their 20s.
Horrible !!! Mindless !!! Just GOTTA have that
mini-mansion and foreign sports car !!!

But that's How It Is.

What was that movie line about PEOPLE
being stupid ?

Hmmmm ... knew a guy, 80s/90s, his Big Thing
was whipping out like a DOZEN credit cards
to IMPRESS everyone. No, he did NOT earn a
lot of money - but he could PRETEND to be rich.

A few years later - HOUSE gone, CARS gone, probably
a negative credit rating.

LAST I heard he was living in a crappy crackerbox.
Fortunately no further contact (OK, he was weird).

ANYway ... seems BOTH parties are now promising
variants of "Free Money". This is NOT a GOOD thing.
Politically, yea, maybe SERVES - but still not
a GOOD thing at all.

A long, long post that from this point on, ignores Trump's promised
5000 cash prize to every adult if the GOP holds both houses.

Of course the promise is safely empty. It is not possible that the
GOP will hold the House. Johnson's days are numbered.
