I have ZERO problem with helping those who are in a bad way because of the virus but this is pure waste.

Sending $1400 out to almost every American is also stupid. Many of us never lost our jobs and are doing fine financially and don't need the money but they are sending it to us anyway.

I have an aunt and uncle that are multi-millionaires that are retired. They live comfortably, not lavishly, and they are getting these relief checks. My aunt called the IRS trying to give it back and they won't take it back. Millions of people who don't need this money are getting it and they shouldn't. I'm reading on social media how people plan to spend this money. One guy is buying a new truck and another lady is going on a super expensive trip and leaving the kids with grandma. These people never missed a paycheck the whole time.

Wait until they get their tax bill for this hot mess.
Did trump sign the checks they received? This was a tactic trump used to harvest more votes.

You really should read the bill. Someone lied to you or else you don't understand what is in the bill.

I do not find any other bailouts in your link.
Genius, the 2001 bailouts weren't from the recession, but 9-11. In the past air lines have operated through bankruptcy.

Biden just rewarded the elites holding stock in the company. Tool.

How does that help those who are unemployed? They can't eat on their 2021 tax credits received in 2022.

What was the price tag for those 13,000 jobs? Did you care when many more American citizens were low balled out of jobs by illegals? Did you care when NAFTA completely undermined American manufacturing, costing 10's of thousands of blue collar middle class jobs? Hell no you didn't.

How much did those 13,000 jobs just cost us? Mind you, I am for bailing out the airlines. I just like to call out the hypocrisy of the left. If it had been the GOP that bailed out the airlines you would have complained. Be honest you know its true.

I read the what was on the bill. Instead of stimulus it should be named porkulus. Quite a few billions in pork.
