Now the progressives are pushing for $2,000 a MONTH for the duration of the pandemic. Does this mean I can quit my job? Looks like this in addition to working if you make less than $120K

Progressives Push for $2,000 Monthly Stimulus Checks and 65% of Americans Support It
Welfare handout? It us to help people get through a disaster and to keep the economy from going even further in the tank. Where is the shame in that? What would you do? Nothing?
The economy isn't going in the tank due to lack of consumer spending. Total 2020 holiday retail sales were up up 3% YOY compared to the projected 2.4%. That's 25% ABOVE expectations. People ARE spending money.

It's a hand out. Most economists are opposed to this. Unemployment should be enhanced due to the pandemic, but just sending out money to people that are doing di e is ridiculous. Even Paul Krugman acknowledges its not good policy. It's populist nonsense and destructive wasteful policy.

Markey, Sanders and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris introduced a bill last May that would provide $2,000 a month to Americans that earn less than $120,000 for the duration of the pandemic and for three months after the crisis ends. Under the legislation, married couples would get $4,000 a month, and parents and caregivers would be provided with $2,000 per child, with a cap at three children. The proposal would backpay individuals to March 2020.
Democratic Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts has also repeatedly called for recurring direct payments to Americans. "The people deserve, demand and require $2,000 recurring monthly survival checks," she tweeted this week after Biden unveiled his latest stimulus plan.
so a family of 5 (two adults and 3 children) would get 10k/month...and BACKPAID back to March2020...meaning that family of 5 would get a 100k backpay check
these guys are looking to make 10 trillion in debt in one year

Have you been grocery shopping lately? Mac & Cheese will run you about $5 for 2 boxes unless you buy that powdered cheese crap that isn't even edible.
As for the rest of your list :
Box of Cereal $4-$5
Peanut Butter $3-$4
Beans $2-3
Eggs $1-2
Gallon of Milk $4
Tuna $5-6
Bananas $2
Apples $3-4
$15 ain't got it cut it.
I dont know where in Florida you're shopping, but theres a Walmart within nearly every Floridian. Im not underestimating the issues at hand, but get a grip.
Cereal - under $2 a box for the Great Value brand.
peanut butter - under $2 for 16 oz.
beans - canned, .68 a can
eggs - $1.33 for a dozen and a half
milk - gallon 2.50
tuna - cans under $1
bananas - .19 each
apples - $1 per pound
You need to learn how to shop. When you're broke, you buy what you can afford.

This "Trickle Up Theory" would filter up from people who will actually spend the money on goods that stimulate the economy. A rising tide floats all boats. I'm all for it.

This could bankrupt us faster than current predictions. That is what China is waiting for. Then they will step in. Wait till they see how hard they will have to work and for slave wages under China rule.

The only part of the economy to benefit will be the one that is held by the richest 1%. They are thanking you in advance.
