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.

”Another crazy idea brought to us by the crazies out of Utah.”

Speaking of which, don’t Mormons store food? That’s nice, but I’ll bet they’ve got toilet paper stashed, too. Let’s go ‘git it. Future historians will speak of “The Great TP War of 2020.” /s

What a total dumbass. The economy is having is a DEMAND problem (no demand for cruises, air travel, restaurants, ...) that additional money will not help.

Can’t believe I ever voted for this moron.

Universal Basic Income? I’m giving my check to my landlord to wipe out my rent arrears.

Thanks, Mitt!

I actually like this idea. Do it for the next 2 months.

Laid off people don’t have to worry about rent or mortgage.
People will spend it and keep the economy going.

Maybe Romney should send checks out from his own stash.

I’m very concerned for service workers who work for small companies who don’t have the cash flow to float them for a few weeks.

I could support something like this only for those left out of work due to government required shutdowns. Today our governor announced all restaurants, bars and gyms are shut down (carry out only)

Lots of people not getting paychecks this w ek

He should have the government offer $1M to all 340 million americans. According to Brian Williams that would only cost $500M

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.

Hey Mitt. You are rich enough to send every adult a dollar. Start with your own money, and when that runs out, we can talk about adding to it.

Ok. I’d just consider it getting back some of the $13,000 I paid in federal income tax this year. Probably buy a new gun with it just to make a few democrats cry.

Mark my words, Democrats will come out and proclaim this is proof positive that Republicans are uncaring racists because they didn’t offer everyone $10,000 and womyn and minorities $50,000.

See how this game is played?

The system is already in place..why give a grand to someone who is working

With all the money the government wastes on non tax paying Americans I don't blame you for wanting a little for yourself. The bureaucrats misplace or lose more money then this would cost.
