(Nasty Nancy can’t screw with it anymore w/o causing it to go back to the Senate....not going to happen).

.....”Not sure why one whose income was unchanged should get a check”......

It appears across the board would get checks out quicker and less expensive then creating qualifying barriers. ‘Time’ has been at the forefront in this.

I think you’re right. The House is now required to have up or down vote only.

Thanks to Phil Kerpin for the overnight research.

Excuse me, Kerpen.

Millions lose their jobs and these MFers vote themselves a pay raise? All the liars, thieves and perverts in the Fake Congress can rot in Hell.

The geographical entity formally known as the United States and its people are badly ruled, not governed.

Typical big-spending Liberals. Can’t contain themselves from spending our tax money.

[Redleg Duke]

The $25 millionn for House of Reps and staff should be a wakeup call to clean out the house, this November.

If someone has a “D” or “I” attached, dump them!

Even if you don’t “pay taxes”, you’re still required to file an IRS return. If you did, then you are eligible for the $1200 cash payout. The only people hurt by this will be illegals, tax dodgers, and gang-bangers.....good!

[lastchance]

Shameful. I am so angry. Would it have been better to just not pass a bill at all and let the chips fall where they may? Then get together a bill that only dealt with fixing what could have been prevented if Dems had not seen to pad the original that was drafted?

[Flaming Conservative]

You are not required to file if you are s.s. recipients who make less than a certain amount.

[Craftmore]

No If you are low income and dont owe taxes you are not required to file a tax return.However we still are facing extra expenses due to this panic
