The problem is we need to get the checks out the door fast which also goes against means testing and double sourcing if the recipient is deceased (especially recently say due to the virus) is not the easiest process.

Shouldn't have been stolen from the rightful owners in the first place.

Having said that I'd rather the peasants have the money instead of it being used to kill a toddler in Damascus.

Shouldn’t do it, we can’t afford it. We should do away with the extra $600 a week unemployment and incentivize work.

Yet we are rushing too fast to to work and normalcy which is causing a spike in positives and hospital occupancy rates in the sunbelt. Many bars are shutting back down by state and local government orders. A number of restaurants with positives are shutting down. Meat plants are 100 cases away from shutting back down. The Tolleson JBS plant never shutdown during their caseload that we could see more with all the Maricopa County cases. Hell, not everyone will get their jobs back even if it is furlough. What is your plan for those that cannot return to work?

Unemployment insurance already exists. The fist stimulus was a mistake and the second one is also totally uncalled for.

Shame on trump on going along with this pathetic democrat scam (and I’m a trumper)

Look at that! Little bit of principled thinking in that post.

Keep it up!
