So, Massie plan then was the same as his plans now - Do Nothing. Vote No on everything,
Thank God.
Far better than y'alls sprint leftward.

If the government was keeping people from working, how were they supposed to pay their bills? The government never should have put people in that position.
I've been told the feds, aka Trump, had nothing to do with the shutdowns.
*Of course injecting trillions into the economy made the shutdowns possible, but no one looks at that...

Surely he didn’t do this! Come on AggieHank. You need to refute this. You said he was a principled conservative.

As with the Covid virus, the ailment in the economy would have been better off running its course. Closing business and forcing people to stay home was the problem. If leaders would have allowed people to follow their judgement, there would have been no problem.

This is when Massie first pissed off Trump.
Posted on 3/19/25 at 6:00 pm to Seldom Seen
Yeah, he’s saying what ive been saying.
Unless he’s your rep.
You voted for the cares act. That’s how it works.
The person who represents you, voted for it.

He loves to point to his “principles”. He is just a contrarian who likes attention

I imagine he wanted Trump to rescind the Emergency declaration and the regulations/advice
Probably so but after the media had the public amped up in panic and it being an election year that's basically surrendering the election.

What was Massie's alternative proposal?
IIRC he and Rand Paul wanted to use the unemployment systems in place.
So if people didn't lose their jobs, or, if people were already on government assistance and weren't working, didn't get checks.

Dont imagine, tell us what he offered. Hes a damn Congressman, surely he offered counter legislation of some kind
Oh wait, its Massie
Sorry I bothered you

They wouldnt have anyone to sell to. Entire states shut down. Even if they kept their job, they still needed assistance

What was the effective result of his stand? Did he accomplish anything? He doesn't sound very persuasive, could not get ONE other person out of 425 to join him.
