“Mnuchin has spoken with Schumer multiple times”

Mnuchin is a rat mole.

I stand on my right as a FReeper not to read the article - is proof of citizenship part of the deal? If not, why not?

would send payments totaling $500 billion directly to Americans.

I'll have to check with CNBC. They said that everybody could get a million dollars for every 500 million dollars last week. So I figure I should get 1 billion. Sounds like we are being shortchanged.

Don’t worry...if you’re working from home and about to lose your job and your 401k has gone into the toilet don’t worry. You GET NOTHING. We got to feed those fast food workers and Applebee’s waiters who are out of work

its good to have children apparently...not so much when our family was young...

here in Washington, if you have a kid you get to claim paid for leave, paid for by all the rest of us, but also if you qualify you get FMLA on top of that plus all the big money from income tax credits and now, more money from the coronavirus....

this one nurse had her 4th...she's getting mega bucks to stay home and now she'll get mega more bucks....I'm talking she'll probably be pulling down $50,000 grand in compensation between all of it....

there should be something like "fairness" in the way we throw tax dollars about...

I sincerely hope that the implementation of this relief package includes an opt out of payment provision for those who are financially secure.

We are hardly wealthy. But we do not to need the Federal government borrowing $2,000.00 to make a payment that I and my better half don’t want or need.

If it must be borrowed, at least let it be directed to families that actually need it.

Clumsy approach. Money will be getting to those who don’t really need it

How are they identifying people? IRS accounts?

Looks like a huge opportunity for fraud, and Leftist organizations will know how to collect on that fraud.

“The first one would be $1,000 per person, $500 per child,” Mnuchin said. “So for a family of four, that’s a $3,000 payment.

With the insanity unleashed by Justice Kennedy they may have to define "family".

Many workers are being furloughed without pay. They aren’t eligible for unemployment benefits because they are still employed by the company they work for, but they being forced to stay away from work.

I wish everyone had 3-6 months of an emergency fund, but most people don’t. These checks, while not a huge amount, may allow people to keep their electric and water on for another month.. or buy some food supplies.

I’m one of those workers that cannot go into work, and have no idea if or when I will be allowed back. It may be 2 weeks, it may be 6 months. Either way, I’m cashing whatever check I get and being thankful that it was given.

Once Congress gets their hands on it, there will be a few modifications:

Union members get 2x dollars
All military, active and retired not eligible
Transgenders, 3x dollars
All those living in Democrat Congressional Districts get 5x dollars.
