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

That ship done sailed.

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

[Deo volente]

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.

[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.

[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?

[RedStateRocker]

What an A-hole.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

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

[NautiNurse]

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.

[Ge0ffrey]

Misleading headline.

[Jim from C-Town]

There is no reason why many people should get checks. Those who are retired, on social security disability, government workers including public school teachers are not losing pay checks or being laid off. To many it is just a windfall of government largess.

The benefit should be for those in the private sector who are actually being effected by the government actions. The unemployed, the workers who have had hours & income effected.

This would allow for a higher payment directed at those who are in actual economic need.

[pierrem15]

The stupid party strikes again: they should offer a bigger check, but condition it on eliminating the payments to states and localities that will go mainly to public employee unions.

Split ordinary people away from the Dems. But that's too intelligent.

[MGunny]

Put people back to full employment. That is the stimulus right there! This entire China Virus debacle needs to end.

It is stupid to try to get people to go to stores to spend money when it is said to be unsafe to have family gatherings.

[glimmerman70]

They don’t care about debt.

[Psalm 73]

"...bill that would provide $1,200 for individuals who make up to $75,000"

Sooo, they want to take $1200 from me and give it to someone else?

Should I maybe endeavor to earn less than $75000?
