Republicans say they don't want to release the $2k stimulus check because the money might go to "someone who doesn't need it?" Interesting perspective, given that 83 per cent of the 2017 $2T tax cut went to people who didn't need it.

The people who do not need it can do their part by putting the money back into the economy, which is what the stimulus is supposed to do besides help people in need.

Every day I feel more disgusted by them. Like my god people are desperate, they can’t feed their children! It’s $2000 ! It’s the bare minimum! It’s vile how much they despise the working people.

80% of the stimulus is going to other countries. Take care of home before you take care of others. We are in debt, if we're going to spend on stimulus, it should all stay here!
