How many years have we watched government wait until the last minute to address issues they'd know were approaching for months?

We are heading to the worst economic disaster in this Nation

People can't eat

Food banks are running out of food

Food banks are operating in certain areas on a 3 months you go basis

People live check to check credit card to credit card

Work multiple jobs

Now some of those people have no jobs debt bills and limited funds

Before the pandemic the middle class was eroding

Inflation was on the rise

Jobs migrating to Cities

Demand and Cost of Living risen

If we can't get UBI and public health implemented by June next year can't see anyway back

what a silly comment. An American dependent on the Government is exactly the opposite of what Conservatives dreamed of. That is a far left dream. And I am not a Conservative. Most Conservatives I know want the country to open back up completely depending on social distancing and masks to reduce the pandemic getting people back to work and not needing the Government to stay afloat.

I worked in a facility, like an assisted living, & for Nurse's Day, we all got a 1 ounce container of Hand Sanitizer! CEO one of the cheapest people on the planet. I guess the "gift" makes them feel better, though (Rolls eyes).

We didn't dream of lockdowns for a 99% survival rate virus.

Now it has mutated, the vaccine is worthless, and Democrats will call for more lockdowns.

All this time, people could've been working and saving money and now the crap is really about to hit the fan.

Stay calm.
People are eating, we are not running out of food. In many areas food banks have increased as the economy boomed. Food stamp allotments have increased as well as those receiving them.

People have always lived pay check to pay check, been unemployed, had unpaid bills and limited funds. The middle class has been eroding for some time now, inflation has been on the rise as has cost of living and jobs have always been in the cities.

I’m a conservative and I think $600 is spitting on a forest fire. When I think about the tens of thousands we pay in taxes every year, to be graciously allowed $600 of OUR money that WE worked for, makes me ill.

Now that the election is over, Pelosi accepts a Covid Relief Bill which is 1/2 the amount she was offered and refused months ago. She says it's okay though, because she was using holding out financial relief to Americans as a political tool to sway the election.
@Junebug1967...
Pelosi is evil. People’s lives are affected and all she can do is play politics and try to hurt her political enemies. Evil, just pure evil.

There will still be long lines at food banks, $600 is a friggin' joke. That pittance won't help anyone for long.
