I'm getting $0, rip. But at the same time, I'm thankful I've kept my job through this mess and my 4 month runaway to Tokyo, so I can't complain -too- much. I will say though that $600 is a fcking joke, but at least my gf gets it.

Yep! You got that right. Though I've seen more and more doctors getting caught now. Not enough though...

Trump Calls COVID Relief Bill "Disgrace," Asks Congress For Increased Direct Payments

President Donald Trump on Tuesday slammed the COVID-19 relief and stimulus package passed by Congress Monday, urging lawmakers to amend specific portions of the bill before sending it to his desk for signature.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday suggested he will not sign the COVID-19 relief bill passed by Congress on Monday without increased direct payments to Americans

The current legislation offers $600 direct payments to most Americans; President Trump wants that number increased to $2,000

Lawmakers agreed on the deal late Monday after months of negotiations stalled

The bill passed both houses of Congress by overwhelming, veto-proof majorities.

Really? I thought this had been taken out?

I lost all faith in this country.
There are things going out left and right in this bill that has nothing to do with people of USA.

Pakistan is set to receive up to $15 million for “democracy programs” and $10 million for “gender programs” and Sri Lanka will receive up to $15 million “for the refurbishing of a high endurance cutter,” a type of patrol boat.

Just rob and steal and take whAt you can. They all do. Why shouldn’t you??

In this bill yes, but not in the ones they were offering over the last several months.

People think that getting rid of Trump will solve all their problems, they have no effing clue why this country has been a failure for them the last 40 years.

It doesn't matter who the POTUS is, each of them have always looked out for the people. Every POTUS would have pressed congress hard to get a meaningful legislation but no we are not gonna get anything without a package for special interest and businesses.

When Biden takes over, he'll have even less power than Trump.
