Someone please tell me how you know who actually needs the money and who doesn’t. How are you so sure that someone who made 100k didn’t lose their job and is struggling. FYI your income doesn’t matter if your out of work you idiots

Remember how when Republicans were in charge they made sure that rich people got no more than necessary.

A loaf of bread is $5 a dozen eggs $6. The cost of my life, my 76 yr old husband & our 7th grader; priceless. We will not believe the lie that we are insignificant or worthless.

This is the dilemma we find ourselves in, when we expect the federal government to enact a “one size fits all” program, country wide. The country is way too diverse, economically, for this to seem fair, no matter what income level cut off is enacted. We must find new ways!

It appears to me that the Dems want to give enough to people so they can say "we did this" but not so much that the billionaire donors cannot capture it all as the economy deteriorates further.
