I can go back in time and either take out one of the 20th century mass murderers—Hitler, Mao, Stalin—or I can change my 2012 vote for Romney. I'm changing my vote.

I know people that are out a lot more money than that. We’ve functionally killed the gig economy. And seriously crippled the service industry. It’s some ugly.

I’m ashamed of myself for voting for this bastard - in 2012. I doubt Obama was any worse.

“I would spend it all on toilet paper.”

Spend it? Might as well use it as toilet paper. Soon, a dollar might not buy much of anything.

Why? There's no place to spend it after all your dimwit buddies in government are closing the businesses.

The ones that are open have empty shelves because of empty headed politicians, like you, causing a buying frenzy.

Rot in hell Mit.

340 million times $1000, that's only like $39.50. What's the delay?!? Too bad Bloomberg spent all that money on his campaign, he could send everyone a million dollars!!! /s

Sure send it to me and my wife. I’ll only have to send most of it back come tax-time, but it will be nice to fondle it for a few months.

GWB sent us all a $1200 tax rebate in I think 06 or 07. It didn’t save his Presidency and it didn’t save the GOP from getting pounded in 2008.

You got that right.

No, the economic damage is being caused by stupid politicians that are closing down events, restaurants and bars. The stupidity is mind boggling.
