House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters proposed having the Federal Reserve give households $2,000 for adults and $1,000 for children for each month of the coronavirus pandemic.

Waters's proposal released on Wednesday also calls for suspending all consumer and small-business credit payments, such as mortgages and credit card payments, during the pandemic

Children don’t need $1000 a month unless have serious medical problems

[Old Man From WV]

WTF, why not? Mitch McConnell will likely support it.

[Trump.Deplorable]

$1,000 a month per child? shit my allowance was like 2 a month and I had to do stuff like mow the lawn

This pandemic could destroy the credit of a lot of people who cant make the payments

[MuttTheHoople]

Wouldn’t hurt my feelings. Got a wife and four kids, all over the age of 18. $12,000 a month coming in.

Somebody needs to go out back and pick a lot of money off of the money tree. We’re all going to need some.

[ronnie raygun]

Think of it as an overdue tax rebate...LOL

[Wissa]

Oh. She’s talking about having the Federal Reserve doing it. From the headline, I thought she was going to be writing personal checks.

[Veggie Todd]
