President Trump spoke with Joe St. George, National Political Editor & Washington Correspondent for Scripps, and he talked about the prospects of another stimulus package.
Here is a transcript of the conversation... Joe St. George: I have a lot of viewers in Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan, who are still struggling economically, sir. They spent all of that first stimulus check, are you going to get them a second stimulus check?
President Trump: Yeah, we are. We are. Look we had this—
Joe St. George: When? When are you going to get it?
President Trump: We had this going better than anybody’s ever seen before. We had the best job numbers, the best economics, the best economy we’ve ever had, and then we had the virus come in from China. Now we’re rebuilding it again. We will be doing another stimulus package. It’ll be very good, it’ll be very generous, and people— Joe St. George: How much? People want to know.
President Trump: You’ll find out about it. You’ll find out.
Joe St. George: When are you going to do it? When are you going to announce it?
President Trump: I think over the next, I think it’s going to be bi-partisan, I think it’s going to be over the couple of weeks, probably.

This better go straight to businesses that are employing people and are not alphabet suoup companies...
On seconfmd thought just don’t bother with this and open up the damned country.
Oh... so everyone got some of our tax dollars, I guess. We got a check but do not qualify based on need. We cashed it anyway based on the logic that it was our money to begin with, before it was confiscated by the government.
The first stimulus passed the Senate 96-0 and the House 419-6. It doesn’t get much more bipartisan than that.
No more!
thanks FRiend, I will not get the “extra” $600 in employment, as i am still pluged into my company for less then 30 days. i am going to just be retired. got some money put away, I really dont want another .GOV handout either.
My only “income” is Social Security. The cost of just getting by over the past 3-4 months has increased dramatically. I’m not going to turn down a check from fedgov.
not the right move impo
I voted for Trump after several years of sitting it out. After this next free money I think I will go back to not voting. RIP USA RIP Trump....
Remember when the TEA Party rose up over Obama’s $800 billion porkulus bill?
It is literally Fauci’s fault.
He paid the Wuhan laboratory to do the gain of function research that caused the pandemic.
He should be in Alcatraz.
Here’s a generous idea - open up the economy and quit giving people free money.
We only got 1200 dollars. Don’t be so dramatic.
Exactly!
No more dilution of the dollar. The economy will rebound like crazy if we give it half a chance.
I still haven’t gotten the first one. But I’ll live.
The stimulus checks will go out, and no amount of “bitching and moaning” will stop it.
I own a very small business, and here is the way we dealt with the shutdown.
1) We carried 16 employees 2 weeks longer, than economic demand warranted.It was the right thing to do.
2) We returned $150,000 in PPP loans, back to the financial institution that distributed it. It was the whole amount.
3) We paid off a $4000 a month CNC machine payment in May.
4) We dropped a $8000 a month insurance premium, that was padding the purse/wallet of Kaiser Permanente.
5) As demand picked up, we hired 8 employees back. Out of the remaining 8 unemployed, 4 are retiring and the remaining 4 are subpar workers.
6) We bumped up wages and salaries to help offset the elimination of health coverage.
The American financial and industrial sector are “rock solid” right now. The main benefactor of the bailouts in 2008-2009, was our bloated overpriced real estate sector.
You do have a point. Running up the deficit is something both parties live for.
Laugh all you want but consider this: while the regulators and rule makers have been suppressing the economy these last few months they have had a golden opportunity to snap up investments and claims on important resources. Keeping things shut and putting people in a bind just so they can enrich themselves is something bipartisan these days.
The Pelosi net worth doubled twice in ten years per some reports (a Left winger on another forum defended that as the real estate investments of her husband) ... I doubt it will take 5 years to double again.
Who’s laughing while we debase the currency? My income is not going to keep up with the dollar’s decline once this thing really hits. It may be just local but prices are jumping at the restaurants and grocery stores and at WalMart.
More debt for our children, grandchildren & great great-grandchildren, which they can’t possibly pay.
This is pure theft.
Our nation is bankrupt & our living standards will be plummeting.
