The worst tragedy isn’t just their denying the $2k one-time stimulus: even that was little more than the thinnest lifeline for so many at this point. In a sane country it would be $2k every month retroactively to when the pandemic started, plus $2k/mo. going forward until it ends

It should be pointed out that "their" denial yesterday was the exact same denial that was already agreed to by both parties before Trump jumped in. Now there are people on corporate media mad at him because he has denied the $600 deal. This is total theatrics on all sides.

If you have not lost your job or had a meaningful reduction in income why do you need $2,000 a month?

But where would it come from?

We have to be honest here. What about borrowing money to give foreign aid? Just as bad and this should be discussed in detail🤗

And universality so that college students and adult dependents are not left out.

What a lonely but highly productive life you have. Merry Christmas to you as well
