    1. Amen. To be fair, they are planning on creating so many dollars ($6 TRillion more to give to the ultra rich, per the Republicans’ latest discussions) that what will happen actually is that your social security check when you retire will be worthless when it will take $1000 to buy a soft drink.

      Like the Soviet Union’s retirees, when the Soviet Union collapsed, many poorer Americans (about 80%) will then have to dig in trashcans for their daily dinner. The Federal Reserve bankster cartel plans to create as much inflation for as long as it can, so all of the deposits held by and and debts of their owner banksters become worthless.

  1. They keep saying “per person.” From my understanding, if you didn’t file taxes in the last 2 years you get nothing.

    1. @Redmon05 they love their evil coding 1200 and 2400 for 3 sixes, pay attention to all the numbers with these mainstream media news stories. Someone pointed this out to me and sure enough .

    2. SSick Camaro SS tf you do realize some people work and file their taxes for the next year. Ignorant

    3. Kyle Rider I didn’t file my 2018 taxes yet but I work. Some people wait to file the next year idiot. They still take money out my check each time so I pay taxes the same as you.

    1. @Mike Fas the Gov’t has taken control of many corporate sectors. They’re having companies mass produce PPE. Also, President Trump had the navy pull up their best hospital barge to help NY. Any more lies I can help you with?

    2. @Samuel Hur Corporations pay workers whowork to produce goods and services. If the corporation goes down, the workers have no jobs, don’t have money and produce no goods or services..

    1. Pelosi wants, More… more for the Green New Deal, to allow Voter Fraud by way of Mail in Ballots, etc…Pelosi Made the Stimulus Bill Political… amendments are Always Political… Pelosi and the Democrats have realized Months ago that they have No chance to win the 2020 election, so they try getting what They want through the Back Door…

    2. “Word went out that Pelosi wanted $35 million for the Kennedy Center, $100 million for NASA, $25 million for cleaning supplies for the Capital building, $25 million for additional payments to House representatives and other unrelated goodies. The House bill stretched to more than 1,000 pages”….wtf does NASA have to do with economic relief.

    1. I said it different last month: 1 for you, 2 for me,2 for you,4 for me, 3 for you 6 for me,but yours is probably truer. lol

    2. 2 for me, nothing for you.
      4 for me, nothing for you.
      8 for me, nothing for you.
      16 for me, nothing for you.

    1. I’m so angry I figured would not be fair but WOW! Just like the 911 scam. The banks needed money, they are the ones that have money. Take care.

    2. @CLee Westgard “A new program would provide unprecedented jobless benefits to self-employed workers and contractors, who typically aren’t eligible. The gig workers would also be eligible for the $600 federal supplement.

      Independent contractors, gig workers, temporary and part-time workers number 57 million in the U.S., representing more than a third of the working population and driving $1 trillion in income. They were frustrated that the initial coronavirus relief measures didn’t include them.”

    3. @CLee Westgard he said today if you are self employed you are eligible for unemployment. It was on the news

    4. @Space Cadet Yup, you do appear to be a space cadet. What is the actual point you are trying to make? WOW is not very descriptive.

    1. @Pandas Panda Pan Das Who??? the corporate overlords with billions of dollars to their name?? oh yeaahh they ReAlLy need that bailout money, they could save their companies AND employees by giving away just a fraction of their net-worth, but nope, they aint giving a cent for NOBODY, make the taxpayers do that

    2. @OlEgSaS32 And you know that what you say is true and is a fact for all? From what source are you getting the info? Maybe you should actually review the language in the bill that is being voted on.

  2. Remember, the reason why Congress passed this is because your supposed to stay home away from work or anything to stop the spread of the coronavirus! Do not be naive to this and start travelling everywhere like it’s a vacation. Your literally getting paid to stay home.

    1. Ssi disability isn’t getting anything.. we will have to travel to donation center for help… Because they won’t

    2. @Michael Bryant what changed? SSI is still delivered on time. My father gets his. You didn’t burn through your normal allotted payment thinking you’d get a 2nd check did you?!? 🤦‍♂️

    3. @Erik Everson it does for everyone else though. So, for you having bad decision making skills, getting yourself in a home in a state you can’t afford to live in, we should pay you more than the rest of America? Move to a sane state bro. Just make sure you leave that socialist voting record most Californians carry around in California, when you move……..the rest of us don’t vote like California does for this exact reason. We like to live…….

  3. They are giving over double the amount to business over it’s own citizens!?

    What in the actual hell!?

    1. Do you forget that these businesses employ thousands of people?
      Also the economy is plummeting and the money goes to airline and hotel industries

    2. RaNia .F restaurants are overrated and they sell junk food barley any real healthy options

    3. You could feed someone with like 20 dollars a day ( that’s really generous ) with like rice and beans.

      Could u really run a business with 20 dollars a day ? U would need perhaps more right … maybe even double or triple.

    1. Ummm how exactly? You’re getting free money you wouldn’t have before. Billions of dollars are being set aside to pay for researching and helping with the disease in the medical fields. I think that’s pretty good

  4. $2 trillion, let that sink in.

    Where is it coming from? We’re already $20+ trillion in debt. I don’t see how this can continue. The FED hasn’t even completely unwound it’s balance sheet from the GFC…and now this. Get prepared folks, more pain to come (and probably more “free” money too).

    1. It’s coming from someone using their fingers to enter some numbers into a computer POOF! $2 trillion created

    1. Because the wealthy already have their private hospitals while all you poors can suck it. It’s the way republicans prefer everything, exclusive.

    2. @Cainhurst Nobility and Democrats want you dumb so you’ll be mad at Republicans over nothing. Hospitals ARE businesses. Those are also loans to small businesses. Pay attention.

    3. @Cainhurst Nobility I have my own insurance. Local 301. Maybe if you worked for a living instead of riding govt programs you might learn something about insurance. Soyboy

  5. They can get the money to give to these businesses but not to the people themselves. We are ruled by a criminal organization.

    1. That’s the real truth and for people that don’t believe that looks like it’s about to slap them in the face really soon. Take care.

    2. I assume you work for a business! Almost everyone does!
      If they tank you lose regardless! What are you upset that families with children are getting more money than an individual single American citizen? We are all getting our share by what our individual needs DEMAND IT.

    3. @edit name but if you give the money straight to businesses, yeah they’ll pay they employees that they didnt cut, but to those that were cut dont get anything besides what they are getting directly, in that case what’s stopping the company from just pocketing the extra money. In that case the company isnt suffering because they wont have money to spend on/pay. Then there’s money just sitting there that doesn’t help the economy. It’s just laying there to rot

  6. “The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few”—-Spock
    Apply your own interpretation of this principle as it relates to the stimulus bill. For me, it’s crystal clear.

    1. It’s always the one’s getting the money are the ones with it I’m so angry, how much more are we going to take with those criminals that are at the top of the pyramid scam.
