Mitt Romney called on the federal government to send every adult $1,000 immediately to help cope financially with the economic damage caused by the spread of the coronavirus.

“Every American adult should immediately receive $1,000 to help ensure families and workers can meet their short-term obligations and increase spending in the economy,” Romney, a Utah Republican senator and 2012 presidential nominee, said in a statement.

If it talks like a democrat, and votes like a democrat, then it probably is a democrat.

If he has $500 million, he could send every American a million bucks and still have lunch money left over!

:: Mitt Romney called on the federal government to send every adult $1,000 immediately to help cope financially with the economic damage caused by the spread of the coronavirus. ::

Romney displays the Grand Illusion:

Why didn’t you suggest this before the “pandemic”?
Why didn’t you suggest this when “patient zero-USA” was confirmed?
Why didn’t you suggest this when hundreds began dying in Wuhan?
Why didn’t the gummint cut me a check 6-FRIGGIN-MONTHS-AGO just on the suspicion that the flu season might get ugly?
Why don’t we just cut everyone an annual check to cover all of our citizen’s despair?
How much can I get?

I have become a progressive I guess, because i’m just depressed enough that I would love to get a check for $1000.

Not sure how the government knows the names and addresses of every adult though. And how do we get the checks to the homeless people?

What a stupid idiot! That only dilutes the purchasing power of money and means that it takes more money to buy things. Then the folks demand another thousand, or two, and on it goes.

It’s OUR money that the government has. To give 1000 to every adult, it needs to collect 3-4000 from every working person. So working people get a shaft up the xxx as usual, and the indolent get some spending money.

The government doesn’t create money. It prints more bills, causing an immediate drop in the buying power of EVERY dollar in existence.

It’s not so crazy. This was done during the Bush Administration following the crash of ‘08.

And don't forget the illegals.

I could support a slightly modified form of Romney's plan: send me everybody's $1000 check.

I actually voted for this guy in 2012. Worst mistake of my life - what a bitter little man.

It’s called unemployment insurance numbnuts.
If someone is working and is suddenly out of work, that’s what unemployment insurance is for. For the layabouts on welfare, what’s the difference? They still get to use the government to steal my hard-earned money so they can lay about masturbating and playing video games while I work for a living.

I remember toilet paper. It was a good thing.
