Rep. Ilhan Omar implores Biden to keep handing out money like candy

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) along with her comrades on the left, want President Biden to keep on giving money to people rather than the one-off stimulus checks during the China virus pandemic. Now that Biden admitted that he isn't really able to do much to quell the virus as it runs its course, that will turn out to be a lot of money with no incentive for people to return to work.

Biden called on Congress in the "American Rescue Plan," to approve a mere $1.9 TRILLION package that includes a pittance of $1,400 for things like gasoline and gum and perhaps a month's rent for the masses who are being kept from earning a living. Omar and her progressive squad of socialists cum communists, cum anti-Semites, agree that it doesn't go far enough.

Of course, it would not need to go far enough if businesses were allowed to be open and honest precautions are taken. The first business that needs to open is the business of educating our kids, who are the least vulnerable to the coronavirus. But since taxpayers fund public schools, teachers unions are in no rush to have teachers go back to the classroom.

Omar, the Congressional Progressive Caucus whip and who was alleged to have married her brother, and may have committed election violations in her state of Minnesota, tweeted that she was "circulating a letter to Biden" pushing for the recurring payments. She also tweeted her support for Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) who called for "recurring $2,000 checks" until hell freezes over or the virus is whipped.

Omar said the recurring cash payments should "continue until the economy recovers with equal payments to adults and dependents," among other bullcrap stipulations. The letter did not detail what her proposal would cost but since it doesn't come from her pocket, it's of no worries for her.

There's no question that $1,400 payments is going to make much difference to families struggling because Democratic governors and other leaders refuses to let people safely return to work. But throwing money at the problem is not going to solve it. Businesses must re-open now. 

Biden is also increasing the minimum wage to $15 per hour. This is a handy way to put millions of people out of work, especially those who are either young and in school, and those in the lower socio-economic category.
