Sanders is not the only one holding up the Senate (Rand is as well for other reasons).

Wonder what Mitch is gonna do.

Then, it will turn into, $1,200 for every man, woman, and child in the US, including anyone who is illegal or is not working or has never worked.

The stimulus should be a percentage of the taxes you’ve paid.

it’s already there.

He’s playing with words.

He knows no one will pass it without including at the least all US citizens.

The illegals will probably win the $$ in some court

>>working person in this country gets a $1,200 direct payment

Sure, I am ok with this - just as long as the government cuts it’s spending by an equivalent amount ahead of time.

It’s the bright, shiny object that distracts our attention while anywhere from 700 billion or more goes towards graft, money for congressmen’s family’s businesses and organized crime.

If you didn’t lose you job or are not making less than before, which SS folks aren’t, why send the checks?

As for the PPP and other scams, so many large companies have abused it as well as connected families and organized crime.

Why would any southern or heartland person want this passed, since their states are not closed and should be doing fine.

Why not make it $10,000? or $50,000?

Then everyone in America would be above average….

Only a cat that hasn’t a single idea about how much wealth they have destroyed would think that was enough money.

When you destroy a business, you destroy FUTURE wealth in addition to current wealth. You’ve smothered the baby in the crib of any wealth in the future.

I hate these people with the heat of a thousand suns.

He said WORKERS, not parasites. That should eliminate about 95% of government parasites.

Bit late. Didn’t give a crap about doing this before the election, did he?

Really? Bernie wants to reward working people?
Maybe he wants 5 times that for non-workers.

NO, Sanders does not. He wants to give $1,200 to SOME people to buy their vote but he does not want $1,200 to everyone.

To hell with those people who are not working because of lock downs. Lets give the money to those who are still working. He is a genius.

Listen uncle scrooge, I worked for 40 years full time before retiring. What makes you think I do not deserve a stimulus check? My expenses are inflating faster than younger folks. Just look at where inflation is highest?

Food prices & health services. Both necessities for older folks. We can’t bypass either.
