Trump should sit on this bill until the last moment, then veto it.

That ship done sailed.

[Lurker]

It’s like the GOP is determined to lose the Senate.

The fabulously wealthy politicians couldn’t care a whit about getting ordinary people back on their feet. They want to get out of D.C. as quickly as possible so they can enjoy their Christmas feasts in their warm mansions, as millions face imminent eviction from their rented apartments.

Pardon my cynicism about all this. The president did all he could, but the swamp is deeper than ever.

[9YearLurker]

So much better than more PPP and local guv bailouts.

It's like pigging out on a 5 pound box of chocolates, then saving the last piece because of being on a diet.

[Sacajaweau]

Do the $1200. The money goes back into the economy and boosts the retail sector. Less unemployed is a benefit.

Time to open things up...what will be will be.

[teevolt]

That’s what I’m saying. Why limit to $1,200, go for $12,000, or even $120,000 at this point. Who cares, none of it matters. Fed can just put it all on their balance sheet. Why are they so stingy anyway?

[Meatspace]

That $1200 only serves to place future generations in debt.

[gloryblaze]

I agree. These “money for nothing” payments don’t belong in a bill that should be relief for sufferers.

[Roccus]

I wonder how much in this bill is earmarked to go to cities and states that have dug themselves into bankruptcy?

[max americana]

I agree. No more PPP. We didnt ask for it but my neighbors got millions and they’re the biggest leftards you could ever meet. Effing hypocrites.

They hate Trump but they reach their hands out for $$$ from their enemy like whores..

[SkyDancer]

More like going on a diet because your neighbor is fat.

[RedStateRocker]

What an A-hole.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Better to give the money to us (I object to the $75K limit) rather than other political units.

[RedStateRocker]

Damned right.

The Republican party talking about debt and spending now is utter hypocrisy.

[Safetgiver]

That $1200 only serves to place future generations in debt.
That ship sailed years ago and has no destination. Spend it, spend it all and blame the Dems and media.

[Jonny7797]

Or eating a big mac with large fries and getting a diet coke.

The French Laundry Restaurant has probably put a dent into their $2.4 million PPP funds by now. Joseph Rice, trial lawyer and Biden bundler crony received $7.03 million of PPP funds after partaking in settlements for $206 million with Teva, and $26 Billion with J&J.

Time to hand out another round payments to the favored liberals.
