Ron DeSantis is sending inflation relief checks after criticizing Biden stimulus

[fredjr82]

Get your check yet @ihhawk ?

Last week, DeSantis announced a new strategy “to offset the costs of rising inflation.” Especially on the brink of a new school year, he said, “the State of Florida is giving you $450 for each child in your care,” DeSantis wrote in a letter accompanying the checks. “This one-time payment can be used for anything from buying diapers to fueling up at the pump.”

Where does this money come from? In part, the very same stimulus DeSantis derided for its supposed inflationary impact. The governor will use $35.5 million that Florida received from federal COVID-19 relief funds to mail checks to nearly 59,000 foster and adoptive families in the state, First Lady Casey DeSantis announced last week.

Hypocrisy at its finest. It's "socialism", "welfare", "buying votes", etc until a Republican does it.

Helping children…the bastard!

When a GOPer is on board, it's "returning the tax dollars to where they belong", socialism and a desire for "complete control" if a Dem is even in the room when it's discussed. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

One post in for the first whataboutism! I wonder if Trad will post a link to Newsom calling the Covid-19 relief funds inflationary.

You’re talking to Trad. Dumb it down.

With other people's money! Socialist bastard!!! 😁

Trad does not get it. Plain as day, and iron lung is still clueless.

That's a BS response. It shouldn't be allowed to be labeled as "socialism" or "welfare" when a Dem governor does it and "helping the children" when a Con does

RINO Ron?

He's helping his reelection chances. One of the perks of being in power.

Ummm…when have I said it’s “socialism” or “welfare” when a Dem governor does it?

I really like to think he's doing to help buy those diapers or fill up that gas tank. Not buying votes, but it's the world we live in.

I hope to hell I am never in a position where I struggle to provide for my family.

Never said you did. Just replying to your response and how others have responded when a Dem did the same thing

 

[DFSNOLE]

RINO Ron?

Trump Jr.

President Donald Trump, in a stunning nighttime tweet, called the $900 billion Covid relief bill passed by Congress an unsuitable “disgrace” and urged lawmakers to make changes to the measure, including bigger direct payments to individuals and families.

“I am asking Congress to amend this bill and increase the ridiculously low $600 to $2,000, or $4,000 for a couple,” Trump said.

So, it's okay to be a socialist when you're in power? Got it.

Florida has a multi billion dollar surplus.
See a difference?

It wasn't Florida’s money. It came from the federal government. See a difference?

Choices are give it back, spend it or give to its citizens.
Easy choice.

True. Best thing to ever happen to incumbent Governors. I presided over a budget surplus!!! Covid made states flush with fed $$$$$

Hey, as long as he's taking funds from one group of needy to give it to another group of needy, that's OK.

If it meant taking money from the well off to help the needy, that's communism, tyranny of the majority, and unChristian.

Inflationary!!! Right?

(Quality job avoiding saying you were wrong.)

That reminds me of someone this november.

Yep. Just don't be a hypocrite and claim it's inflationary when the feds do it but it's okay when you do.

More deflection.

Another way to really help kids would have been to extend the law that ensured they would all actually get a meal while they were at school.

Bullshit. If you are concerned about federal deficits & think handouts are causing inflation, send it back. That decreases the federal deficit and helps stem the inflation that was caused by the handouts

Needs to be said, this is only $35M going to 59,000 families that are supporting foster kids. That’s pretty targeted and a deserving choice if you want to help someone.

That’s a far cry from everyone gets $1400 no matter your means or tax contribution.

Knowing DumbFascist, he is only sending checks to people worth 10 million dollars or more.

 

[ihhawk]

I wouldn’t qualify. The people who qualify is very narrow. This is going to poor families and foster parents.

Eligible recipients include foster parents, relative and non-relative caregivers, and participants in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families cash assistance program and the Guardian Assistance Program, according to the department.

You can't get a little bit pregnant. Either you are or you aren't

A lot of difference between 35M and 1.9T

Not even comparable

Is the principle the same or not?

When Kim did that you guys blasted her for it, iirc.

A targeted pay out to those who are performing a social good, voluntarily? That seems closer to a tax deduction for a charitable donation.
