    As if 1200 is enough to live off of in the first place.

    I havent read specifics but its not supposed to pass in the senate. It seems like too much. I'd rather wait and see how may plays out, then water down or redirect.

    if you must do something send 1200 abd nothing else. Or send 2400, it's a bargain compared to 3T.

    People will spend it.

    Things are picking up around me, surprisingly quick. That's good but still a tad concerning. Time will tell.

    It will not be signed, as Trump had McConnell destroy any plan that doesn't let your employer IGNORE your safety, and pay nothing for it.

    They want to have you get sick and that is all. Then, you die, and they hire another, they die, and hire another. Ad infinitum.

    In addition, they intend to cut corp tax in half. That will balloon the deficit to the moon. They will then say that there is no money for unemployment etc, so they must be cut.

    Have you noticed that the majority of states, red and blue, are opening up and long with the majority of the countries on earth? We can stay closed down for only so long before all that stimulus money becomes worthless pieces of green paper.

    WE need testing, and quarantining, contact tracing, before we can JUST open up. You will learn, when YOUR fellows are dead miserably. Til it is YOUR fellows, you don't give a fig about the elderly or vulnerables. Somone elses problem.


    And AGAIN, had Trump not been a dumbass, we could have gotten on these things, and not had ANY of those things to worry about. Trump economy, Trump deaths, Trump ignorance, Trump lies, Trump magical thinking, Trump choices.

    You don't seem to understand. It is not just Trump that wants to open up. It is the majority of the US. It is only the far left democrats that think we should wait forever.
    You can eat rat's ass, if you want, but I think I can do better.

    Nancy no longer insults Republicans with her idiocy, we are too smart and can actually read beyond the 8th grade level, now if you are a democrat and you actually read this thing then you should be insulted, she has just told anyone that backs it that they are dumber than a rock. This is your leader democrats. She is a despicable human being, using this crisis to try to jam her insane wish list upon our backs. Shame on that bitch.

    It is EVERY human being that wants to open up. We are all social creatures.

    My apologies, I thought the OP was asking about the original stimulus.

    I thought the stay at home orders were to flatten the curve of infection, not prevent it. When did that change?
