Got his orders from Joe "the American people don't want a handout" BidenMitch
“Borrowing from our grandkids to do socialism for rich people is a terrible way to get help to families who actually need it,” McConnell said of an effort to boost the checks from $600 to $2,000, which is supported by President Donald Trump. “Washington Democrats took President Trump’s suggestion and skewed it so the checks would benefit even more high-earning households.”
McConnell said "socialism for rich people" four times in his speech. Sanders responded in a fiery fashion: "The majority leader helped lead this body to pass Trump's tax bill. You want to talk about socialism for the rich Mr. Majority Leader?!”
Holy what a ing asshole
Such bull and lie too.. that stimulus law specifically has cut off on benefits based on income.
It’s literally gold plated socialism for the rich via tax cuts, low money market taxation and Wall Street bailouts vs bootstrap capitalism for the poor...
Has been the pattern for 20-25 years. It won't end well.
Climate change will only sharpen the social contradiction, probably sooner than people think.
What exactly does it accomplish giving a couple still fully employed $4000?. I totally get making the unemployed 100% whole as long as it takes.
Yall are being very Trumpish.
Someone needs to tie Schumer up and cut his balls off if they can find them
Keeps millions from being evicted for starters.
Why would someone that never lost their job or had their salary reduced be evicted?
Small business owners need the cash man
Crazy how when it comes to putting money in the pockets of the average American, its always a problem. But when billionaires and corporations get bailed out its quieter than a mouse pissin on cotton.
They might get sick and lose their job soon. Pandemic is on, economic wreckage is still piling up.
We've got what, 1.5-2 million new cases per week?
the cutoff income of $75K seems high for $600/week.
I would prefer a bigger payment to unemployed for longer time.
Weird from Munchkin and Repugs. Making sure their upper income voters get paid.
Also, lots of people who did lose their jobs got way behind on rent.
Eviction moratoriums didn't stop in Mississippi, desperate landlords will continue to put people to the curb.
I thought $1200 was adequate and more realistic.
$600 is insulting, tbh. Minority leader Mitch seems more likely now.
the Democrats' main job of work after getting power, is to impose austerity after Republicans have looted the Treasury and wrecked the economy.
Every damn time.
This is a list of the ers who voted for cloture on the CASH Act. The list of (R)s who voted for it is shorter.

"Who Ya Gonna Call?"
nobody
And I bet every Dem there has net worth of $100Ks, if not $Ms, gold plated health care and great retirement, aka, the plutocracy
Don't get me wrong. I am totally sympathetic to those that have lost their jobs and businesses due to the pandemic. I just think relief should be directly targeted to them instead of blanket vote buying by sending $4000 checks to couples that haven't been affected and don't need it.
Boots, why do you deserve a check for $2000?
there is a degree of means testing to it
Why does the "economy" need to be stimulated? The problem is not demand. Its there. Most that got the last check either added to savings or paid down debt. They didnt "stimulate" the economy. The relief should be directly targeted to those that have actually been hurt by the covid lockdowns.It's a stimulus check not unemployment. What don't you understand? And the Trump government can't do right. They can't review hundreds of millions of applications and get the money out in time. And has a cut off base for the poor and middle class who are more hurt by covid.
According to the census most was paid on rent food and similar items.
Based on their 2019 tax return? :LOL
A couple making 150K gets a $4000 check even if they are making 150K again in 2020. That's not means testing, thats vote buying.
which tax return would you prefer they use?
