Money grows on trees. Where are the adults? I don’t want them running up this bill on our kids.

Sorry, you're a decade late and a few trillion dollars short.

The bill is now irrelevant because it will never be paid back in current US dollars. Probably in crypto-Ameros, at about 1/25th of today's value.

The government closed the economy. Millions are facing eviction because they can't pay rent/mortgage. The entire travel industry is near bankruptcy. I was in Charleston, SC earlier in the week and it is a ghost town - no one - absolutely no one was there. Later in the week, I stayed at a hotel in a different area and 10 rooms out of 427 were occupied. The airline industry has 10% of the traffic it did a year ago. The government estimated this week that airline traffic will not be back to pre pandemic levels until 2024 - yes you read that correctly - 2024. The government added a year from the original estimate of 2023 because the recovery is not as fast as they anticipated.

The government caused it and the government should be required to bail out people and all kinds of industry - that is only fair.

Further, if Republicans vote no, then they will lose both the Senate and the presidency...it is just that simple.

I'm OK but many people aren't - don't be unaware of what is happening.

The pain is going to get much worse before it gets better. If Trump gets reelected, he will be dealing with the aftermath of this government made disaster for most of his 4 remaining years. What colossal insanity to ever shut down.

I want Trump to stand tough on bailing out cities and states, but everything else is fair game.

Yeah we could have used this money to massively bail out the banks again or spend trillions on wars in shitholes for the saudis or some other inbred tyrannts, what a waste.
