Remember, Trump asked for this to be done in his signing statement on the Covid bill yesterday.

I’m with him on that. A lot of people are hurting and $600 wouldn’t even cover Mitch McConnell’s annual dry cleaning bills for his evening suits.

This money will go back into the economy and that means retail sales and that means workers...etc etc.

IIRC, that’s not what he asked for. He asked for it as a substitute for the omnibus bill that he disapproved of, but ended up signing anyway. This would be $500b on top of the $900b appropriated. He will 100% veto this, if the Senate passes it. Which it won’t. Because if the Senate GOP passes it, the Uniparty will finally have come into being.

Agree. $600 covers hardly any bills, especially in northern states with the cold weather and need for paying for heat.

If they are going to handout our money to left wing institutions and foreign countries. Everyday Americans, many of whom were put out of work unnecessarily should receive a lot more than 600.00.It’s past time the federal govt was cut down to almost nothing.

Government prevents you from working for 9 months 2k aint much but better than $600.
