I do not understand how a one- time payment of $1200 is going to be enough. It’s not just whether or not the virus will be kept at bay; it’s whether or not despair will be kept at bay. Putting tens of millions of people at risk for such intense anxiety is a recipe for disaster.

It isn't meant to be a one time payment. You can see that in some of the interviews they want to be debated so it doesn't become a permanent entitlement. The Rs don't want a blanket solution.

3 million filed for unemployment in one week. That dwarfs the last record of 695,000 in Oct. 1982 Americans need no means tested #EmergencyUBI now. #BailOutPeopleNotCorporations

They can go back to work. Boss doesn't enjoy paying for an empty shop. Not all workers will die.

its the tax payers money and should be given back to all the tax payers at a time like this. It should not have limits imposed on it. Its simply not Congresses money, it is the american peoples money.
