Isn't a Coronavirus Stimulus check a form of Socialism?

Of course it is. That was just a rhetorical question for our hypocritical former Republican (now tRumplican) friends here on JPP.

Remember when Obama did it, and how it was a horrible idea? Now that tRump wants to do one, its GREAT!......lol

Honestly, the blatant hipocrisy of the trumpanzees is both hilarious and scary at the same time.

For the record, I supported Obama's and I will support this one to.

Of course you support it, it's Keynesian economics and the stimulus checks were shown to be a failure under Bush and Obama.

When did Obama send individuals a stimulus check? I remember when W Bush did it. Have a link?
 
Just as I have been saying all along, we have a hybrid economy with a mixture of capitalism and socialism.

And that's OK!

Why should we NOT use the power of our government to solve our common problems?

We would be stupid not .

You need to reread the ARRA. My former Dept. alone dispensed over 80 million dollars for nuclear and environmental projects that resulted in jobs for thousands. That my friend was in the form of weekly paychecks for well over 2 years. As such, it more than exceeds tRumps measures.

You aren't hearing a lot of "porkulus" calls from the right these days, the very theme they used to launch their Tea Party revolt back in 2009

Obama's checks went largely to keep the State Governments afloat, he didn't mail thousand dollar checks to individuals

Sorry, but the great economy that tRump inhereted is proof that it worked.

I see. Why stop at a $1K then? Why not several thousand or even more? Did it fail under Bush because they didn’t send us enough?

Edit: The OP isn't very clear. He's talking about the $1K stimulus checks then claiming Obama sent out something similar

Yes, Trump’s plan to give away “free money” and his other stimulus proposals is pure Pussy-hat wearing Obamaism proving that Trump is what he likes to grab: a big pink-hat wearing Democratic pussy. ;)

Bad memory on my part, you are correct. They were sent in 2001 and 2008. Neither of them successful. Guess Tacomanen thinks the third time will be a charm.

We are all Keynesians now.

Even conservatives have fallen in love with Keynesian- FDR economic approaches

Stimulus is stimulus. The OP is very clear.

Their core beliefs change depending on who is in the White House. Just like tRump, they are non ideology folks.

Got caught there misrepresenting huh? And I notice you can’t justify the ‘01 or ‘08 stimulus check failures although you’re pushing for them again now

Not at all. You just need to better understand what you are reading.
REGARDLESS of whether the check goes to the employee, or the employer who pays the employee, it is STILL a Socialistic measure.
Now, whether a person agrees with the specifics of the program is another discussion entirely.
