...Why not $10K or $20K? Let’s make it a full hundred grand!!! After all, we can just print more money/sarc...

These days we don't even have to go to the expense of printing it. Just create it by putting more numbers in a computer file and transfer it by computer to people's bank accounts.

No actual money necessary.

i see no evidence of what you claim

what I am seeing is that GOP wanted to examine the foreign spending and it was blocked by the Dems

the GOP blocked the pork fest with the increase of $2k for stimulus

There was no stand alone bill

Pelosi is talking about doing one on Monday

I had not read that and it would be difficult to do.
This story is about the stand alone bill that Trump wanted check size to increase the 2K

Better nothing than a pork fest.

There is more money going for foreign crap and stuff than for stimulus. I don’t think either one is needed.

If the demonratcommies are }{€££ bent on spending $ 2,300,000,000,000 then divide it by the number of AMERICAN CITIZENS ONLY (NO ILLEGALS OF ANY KIND!!!), NO PORK, NO OTHER COUNTRY AND NO KICKBACKS and Cut the Checks or make the Direct Deposit and be done with it !!!

NO STUPID “congress” Math just DIVIDE IT WITH BASIC MATH AND PAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!

Nasty creeps! I’m disgusted. Sorry but for far to long the debt has risen with no benefit at all. Now we heading to a fiscal disaster for sure. I want a piece of the pie if I’m going to suffer anyway. Selfish? Heck yes!

Send the $2,000 checks to Americans and tell foreigners that they will be getting absolutely nothing.

By upping the ante, Trump is REALLY putting pressure on the naysayers, who need to strip out the insane pork!

McCarthy was right to knock it down. Don’t let the lying MSM dupe you into swallowing their half truths. McCarthy and Trump are on the same page.

The Dems originally wanted to give working Americans $0, but reluctantly agreed to $600. Nancy jumped on the request to up the amount to $2000 by just adding $billions to the funding request.

Nancy and the Dems are anxious to get back to the normal, corrupt was of doing business to enrich themselves, by rushing through an Omnibus bill too large and complex to read or understand.

The responsible response to Trump's request is to get rid of the wasteful spending by moving it to the American people instead of foreign governments and internal pork.

Nancy really does not care about aiding the small businesses and employees destroyed and put out of work by misguided COVID policies. If she cared about the "little people" she supposedly represents, she would have taken action six months ago!

Normally I’d not support “relief” payments but the hardship was caused by the gov’t, both state and local, so in this case I’m for it. However, $600 is pitiful, near insulting.

Trump wanted a clean bill dealing only with this, NOT a giant 5000 page opus. (D) playing games as usual, they don’t care who gets hurt.
