Economist: $2,000 Stimulus Checks A ‘Much Needed Lift’ For Struggling Families | Katy Tur | MSNBC
Stimulate economies? How about he pretend to care about the American people because without the people you have no economy? I dunno
You’re asking for logic when simple logic is required. That ship sailed in 2016.
And the liberals want to give coronavirus aid to Muslim countries
I think you know. thx
jpnewpic88.men
Us people that haven’t lost a job are helping people who have , we ALL need a break!!!
BLM reciebed thousands of dollars worth of aid and they still burn loot and murder
It sure isn’t LIBERALS that help Americans, funny there idea of helping is by giving millions of tax payers money to sudan and pakistan
If the democratic LIBERALS would help Americans instead of muslims would be a noble thing
@Roberta Rodriguez◀LAUGHABLE IDIOCY

GEORGIA PLEASE VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY ON JAN 5TH. REPUBLICANS CHOSE TRUMPTY OVER HUMAN LIVES!!!
Paying down CC debt, that was racked up first due to the pandemic/ losing job.. some people need it.
Amen! They won’t acknowledge that. Some new purchases are necessary if it helps the family survive. These Senators are jerks and inherently heartless.
Praying for you man, karma will come around and hit Mitch where he least expects it
@Fin Jake hey thanks, I was speaking generally, I’ve been lucky enough to not be financially affected by this virus.. just counting those blessings
@Selwyn Lawson “These Senators are jerks and inherently heartless”–yup they are Republicans.
But those republicans doesn’t care about the american people.
@Roberta Rodriguez and don’t for get Roberta, Nancy wanted to give Non Americans $1.800 .. So we know she is not for the American People. But people just want to believe what the hating New has to say…
Thanks@Roberta Rodriguez, For being a voice of Reason and Fact.. That the left don’t want to hear..
@Shiloh Saves my God that’s insane
@psycobleach46 tullis is that why pelosi was persistent on giving millions of covid aid to Muslim countries?
@Roberta Rodriguez there is NO funding to other countires. The foreign aid was in the Omnibus bill, not the stimulus package

F- Kevin Brady. First of all, you can’t count! Second, let’s reduce your income to $600 for say 2 months.
Yes !!! Or more !!!!!
Is the broad part you’re talking about the corporate greed whom took advantage of the pandemic
Can I get 9 months for $300 please. Lbvs!!
how about we make their salaries 600.00 per month and see how they handle it. since they cant work for we the people!!!
He doesn’t look like he’s ever had to miss a meal.
When they give money to corporations are they worried about what the corporations are spending their money on? You know like stock BuyBacks.
Yep and they keep getting richer
@don juran how are corporation people
@don juran You’re insane my friend
Oh that’s fine. The rich can get away with anything. Americans made sure of that
Democrats don’t love Romney 🤣😂 where you get that mess
Why do they care what the money will be used for??! It’s the tax payers money!
@Roberta Rodriguez Racist

@Peg Nelson I reported you.
I mean… at this point it’s not really a stimulus. Just a transfusion while the patient is bleeding from an artery.
What gets me, is we need disater relief but they are negotiating stimulus money….
Preach!
Wow, how out of touch can that guy possibly be…
Wait…So, spending the money to pay bills like credit cards is bad? Compared to just defaulting on them?
You’re only allowed to spend money when paying off hookers. Executive Order No 1!
@warpedjaffas1 That is the Trump RepubliKKKan way or just file BANKRUPTCY as Moscow Mitch urged America to do back in April!
Not all republican@Bryan Reynolds, Think like that.. Just like we know not all democrat thinks, that killing baby’s up to birth is ok..
Then you better tell Bill that @warpedjaffas1
I guess The Whole point is to accumulate debt so we can continue to be poor and oppressed.
Too many out-of-touch, delusional, so-called experts giving absolutely stupid responses to basic questions. PEOPLE NEED MONEY FOR F O O D ! ! !
So does a family of 4 who was never laid off and is still working (say federal employee) They need 8 000 thousand dollars for food.
God forbid some people should save a few dollars. God forbid they buy something besides food. God forbid people pay down their over burdened credit cards.
This is where the huge gap between the haves and have nots comes home to roost in America.
And a country is only as strong, as their weakest links
People need to rise up
I’m paying down debt on credit that I used to stay afloat
Why do they keep calling it stimulus, this is really monies to keep families afloat.
He’s a real charmer, isn’t he. I suppose he’s still getting paid although not actually earning it
That’s what the Democrats have been doing for 4 years. Nothing but still being paid.
@evil khor
Geez gramps sure racking up the time in the comments section with your new account.
Nice that you are enjoying entitlements that Democrats afforded you.
Mitch and Trump were going to take them away from you had Trump gotten another term. 😎
@B. T. I’ll never catch up with you old timers. If Trump wasn’t cheated you mean. Had Trump won the Democrats would have had another 4 years off with pay.
I see he’s not missing meals & his bills are Payed.
Of course not. He’s a hypocrite like most politicians.
What about the people who have never been laid off family of 4 need 8000 dollars for food. They need to give the money to the needy not a blanket 2000 etc dollars.
