The “stimulus package” we need is $2,000 a month for every person as long as the pandemic lasts. You don’t have to be an economist or a politician to figure that out; you just have to be deeply human. #directcashrelief

Why? Reopen America and let people get back to work, not pay them to sit at home! If essential workers can brave this virus! So can you!

We need to remove the tax on labor and put the currency on a constitutional foot with its value protected against a basket of human needs and gold and silver. We don’t need to supplement more rioters.

I don't understand why this common sense isn't more accepted. You're 💯 correct here Marianne... I appreciate you speaking up for regular people who don't have a voice. Respect 👍

They scoff at the idea but have no issues giving their cronies PPP money. No business should get money, instead our government should have given a $2000 monthly stipend to all adults and $500 for each child in the household.

Given the damage that has and has yet to be wrought on this economy, we're going to need those payments longer than the length of the pandemic.

Every other modern nation on the planet has given direct payments or supplemented wages for citizens to weather this storm. America: "sO We sHoUld jUsT GiVe mORe mOneY tO cOrPoRAtiOns aND rIcH pEoPlE!? rIGhT!?" 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

You have to wonder what the state of the "true economy" would be in without this extra $600. Not good.
