I agree with Massie....this is the greatest boondoggle since the FDR era.

Trumps original suggestion if waiving income tax with-holding and employer contributions for a year or more, would have been much better.

Inflation is a major problem IMHO. This bail out will reduce fixed income retorees buying power between 20% and 40% in the next few years. So Seniors need to start now lobbying for cost of living raise in their pension payments of around 20%, just for starters.

Yes, using methods that fall within their Constitutional powers would definitely be better, and likely much more effective.

But let me rephrase my statement, cause big inflation is definitely not a minor issue. Inflation isn't nearly the issue that getting rid of the Constitution is. We can get over and survive a bit/bunch of inflation. It may hurt, but it's a single issue. Whereas Repubs completely ignoring the Constitution, is a new-ish dynamic that has repercussions across everything. Once the Constitution has no authority, anything can happen, and almost all of it is not good for you, the little peon. Inflation will barely be one of many problems everyone except the elite few will be dealing with.
