So far, more than 2 million have signed a petition calling for $2,000 monthly stimulus checks for every American. This petition was started by Stephanie Bonin, a Colorado restaurant owner, and was first posted on Change.org last year, reports Business Insider.
In Bonin’s petition statement, she says that she is one of millions of Americans who fear for their financial future because of the COVID-19 crisis. “With businesses and schools closing across the country to control the spread of this virus, many people have already lost their jobs. Others are being forced to stay home. This is catastrophic for working families like mine.”
“I’m calling on Congress to support families with a $2,000 payment for adults and a $1,000 payment for kids immediately, and continuing regular checks for the duration of the crisis,” said Bonin. “Otherwise, laid-off workers, furloughed workers, the self-employed, and workers dealing with reduced hours will struggle to pay their rent or put food on the table,” she said.

Then we can all be millionaires!

An illustration why we don’t want one-person-one-vote.
A loaf of bread = $200.00. Most people could use a course in basic economics (especially congresspeople).
Have Bill Gates pay it. Sin tax for depressing salaries in an entire industry as he lied to Congress and said that there weren’t people here who could do the work and he pocketed the savings.
But, I want a pony.
A wheelbarrow of cash will buy a loaf of bread!
$2,000?? Pfft. Why not $20,000 per month? Just think how rich we will all be!!
2 million found the petition so far. Soon to be 20 million.
“SOME” Americans?????
No prize for guessing who signed this
I WANT IT THIS TIME AROUND OTHERWISE JUST FORGET IT....so there...
Well, this is fun, but that’s not how Federal decisions are made in the United states.
I wonder if she thought through where the government is going to get the money from.
Probably not.
