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.

“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...

Why $2,000 monthly?

Why not a million a month so we can all live like Bill Gates?

If this happened, does anyone seriously believe it would ever stop? The cry would go out, “they’re cutting off my income! My poor babies!!!” And the Demmunists would run on this one issue every election.
