$600? What's that going to do?

[Lesh]

That $600 relief check is essentially giving somebody another fish (small one) after you have taken away his fishing pole and locked him up in his house so he can't go fishing anyway. The simple truth is that the federal gov't cannot provide everybody who needs it with a reasonable standard of living, not even for one freakin' month. It's too freakin' expensive, we don't have the money, and it doesn't solve the problem. Which is that we have to allow people to go back to work and kids go back to school.

And do you know WHY it is not bigger (as it should be)?

Yea...the REPUBLICANS refused to go any higher

So, you ***** when they spend too much and raise the debt and then you ***** when they don't spend more. Doesn't that about cover it?

Question, aside from the above: does it worry you at all that the amount of interest we have to pay on the debt is going up pretty fast, and future generations will be forced to pay it instead of using that money for other things?

Thanks to the democrats $600 check will be going out it appears. President trump wanted alot more....he was correct here. It should have been alot bigger. If you want to stimulate the economy and help people $600 doesn't do much. Might pay 1/2 the rent. When it comes time to help people we sure put the brakes on.

The government isn't your mommy. Since you are whining about the stimulus, I assume you are able bodied. Get off of your lazy ass and get out and earn some money. I didn't screw your mommy so I don't owe you a living or support. You are the type that go out and indebt yourself for 3X what your useless ass can earn in a lifetime and then cry when nobody bails your ass out. Oh waaaaa!

If it was $10,000 the money would not last long

the only solution is to end the lockdowns and go back to work

Stupid democrats will run right down to Walmart and buy a whole bunch of Chinese shit which will increase the imbalance between what we import and export--effectively adding more foreign debt to our already broke treasury. This is in addition to the domestic debt that Piglosi's congress just saddled us with. It is a double whammy.

Trump has been AWOL from the negotiations for weeks. Your post is fantasy.

A President doesn't get involved with Congressional negotiations. He either signs their bills or vetoes them.

Speak for yourself. Some of us never stopped working.

I never complained about people who are still working

this is about Chicken Littles who want to stay at home and get paid for doing nothing

Between this and the first round, our family will about break even on the theft committed by the state from our incomes, so there is that.

I agree with you that there is injustice in our economic and political system

but if you think government can continue to borrow and spend the way it is now without ultimately hurting the workers even more you are mistaken
