(+) Yeah! (+)

I dont know why I held any hope. Guess I just wanted to believe

I mean it took all year for them to agree to 600$.

Its doesn't mean Trump still isn't going to somehow blame "the left" for it not going through and it'll stick for some reason

We'd all be rich if it wasnt for the Republicans

Good, it's fucking wasteful. People just think they get the money without realizing that we're going to have to pay all of this shit back. Money doesn't just grow on trees.

It would be great if Jar Jar Binks straight up throws Palpatine under the bus and tells his supporters in Georgia that Mitch will never pass a significant stimulus if he remains majority leader.

he will definitely place some blame on the left but I expect him to go scorched Earth on Mitch after this.

Trump's twitter is going to be pure popcorn-awesome when he doesn't even have to feign playing politics anymore.

where was this mentality when trump gave ridiculous tax cuts to the wealthy and big businesses?

Help We the people that actually need help!! The people about to lose their house and or business through no fault of their own. Not rich spoiled kids that are going to blow it on bullshit, and not foreign countries and embezzling the money with loopholes. It's common sense....

I didn't lose my job and I don't want any money whatsoever. I do however want to see the people that need and deserve help get it, and a sufficient amount. BOTH PARTIES SUCK, and that's a fact. Period.

"america is not worth spending america's money on!" - people that give all our money away to "special interests" aka any country but america

Wow if Trumps call for 2000$ was just bait to get rid of the stimulus altogether that would honestly be some solid planning there.

Like, evil, definitely, but the Dems are getting played big time (which tbf, they basically fall for every time)

We'd all understand nuance if it weren't for the Republicans

What good are politicians that don't do what we say? Giving people money has been a rather nonpartisan demand in comparison to a lot of other issues.

You mean via taxes, that we already pay all the time anyway?

Never thought I'd see Trump being the one with the most compassion in the GOP but here we are

Dont move the goal posts

How do you think wed be paying back the stimulus check, exactly,

---

Needless to say, it should be about 10 times that much, plus the gallows for those who voted against it.

---

Trump should tell his supporters to vote Democrat. Theyre all so fully brainwashed and in love with him they might just actually do it.

Right. It doesnt grow in trees. Fiat currency isnt a physical resource. You create more by having those with the power to do so write IOUs and then who holds it determines if it ever needs to be paid back or not. It is incredibly easy for a country like the US to spend more on whatever.

You do realize that the entire point of the stimulus package is to stimulate the economy, ie, people spending it? Right?

Yes.....which is why it will eventually go back tot he government with taxes on those things people buy.....it wont be immediate but eventually it will pay for itself.

I don't think you have the slightest idea of what the stimulus checks were for.

It's the same as always, with corruption legal and the democracy broken we'll keep piling on debt until creditors will class U.S.'s credit rating as junk. At least with a decent stimulus now we could save some lives.
