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.

“It took nine months for Congress to send a second stimulus check, and just moments to spend it. Another single check won’t solve our problems – people are just too far behind,” explains Bonin...

Hey! If we can run the federal government by petitions, let’s start one that says we want Trump to be president instead of Byedone!

If I make less than 400k (Biden’s latest tax plan) do I get free money. I make less than 100/ hour. I needs me some free money.

Maybe I will just work half a year. Or work under the table ....

People suck, are disgusting, have no morals, ... take your free $ and choke on all that comes with it. Don’t bitch when the lesson becomes apparent.

Because the coming/resulting inflation will make $2k woefully inadequate.

It will be impossible to hire people to work if they are getting $2,000 per month from the government.

Why not pay their rent and buy them a car, too? They will need to have places to go and will need to have fun things to keep them occupied.

And the obvious solution to those who thought this idiocy up in the first place is to increase the monthly payments to $20,000. The liberal mindset is always when something you do makes the situation worse, then "you just didn't go far enough." If doing x amount of something makes things bad then doing 10x of that same thing will make things good.

The logical corollary that doing more of the same makes things worse is rejected because they KNOW in their substandard minds that they cannot possible have done the wrong thing*, so the only possible explanation for why things got worse is that they didn't do enough of it.

Yep. Never solving the problem is a feature, as opposed to a bug, of their programs.

Most have no idea. Many do not want to work as the handouts/other free bennies are more then they can earn.
