If we gave $1,400 to 330,000,000 Americans, that would be $462,000,000,000.

18,300,000 are unemployed. If we add $2,000 their unemployment, there's another $36,600,000,000.

So, there's $498,600,000,000 out of $1,900,000,000,000, or JUST 26 PERCENT of the stimulus, is going directly to U.S, citizens.

Ask the Liberal politicians you voted for, where the other 74% went, or ~$1.5 Trillion

Ask them why those in need didn't get more than chump change.

Why didn't they give it all to those in need? Why did they give 74% to the top 1%, & just 26% to the remaining 99%?

We have all just been ripped off again...another one of the greatest heists in U.S. history...$1.4T in broad daylight. When I say "all", I mean those of us in the 99% that pay net federal income taxes...which is only about 1/2 of us.

Robin Hood is stealing from the "rich" (who make $66,000+), giving 26% of it to the poor, then stealing the remaining 74% for himself, and his roving band of thieves who make up the top 1%.

Its our own fault. We continue to elect these two clown show freak parties. Definition of insanity. Only the crooked rich and people that can't keep their legs closed benefit. The rest of us get hosed

All this funny money does is inflate the price of assets which make the rich more rich because they own most of them

Yes we have been ripped off, but be prepared to be ridiculed and shamed for suggesting that Americans shouldn't be entitled to "free money" during a pandemic. And in a few years, as we suffer through the misery that is the Biden economy, expect demands for more free money to help those who are suffering. If you don't like it, you will be told that you should not cash your check by those who have become entitled to money they did not toil for. This stimulus thing will not be a one of deal. It's just the beginning...

What about payments for paid Sick leave, suspension of student loan payments, evictions and mortgage payments, tax breaks for charity and extensions on filing. These all cost a lot and although some are not direct payments they benefit the less affluent. If you gave me some time, I could probably come up with another 20 programs that had a direct effect.

Nobody in my family of 5 received a stimulus check. Many, many people did not. So it was not 330,000,000 who got a check. It was much lower than that.

But it was not a clean bill. Plenty of money went elsewhere.

There is no doubt the Pelosi Porkulus Package is anything close to being a COVID Relief bill. They spent billions on useless undeserving junk, and not one penny for border security.

The Democrats will not even acknowledge that there is (now) a crisis at the border that is entirely of their own making. What they've done is a disaster and they all should be held accountable and liable for the damage from their reckless irresponsible policies,

go for it, you might get it up to 36% intead of 26%, so it would still be a massive heist.

Clearly, there is only one fool proof method of helping those with a perceived need. And that method is to address their needs individually , if they are legitimate and genuine . Once again, we see Democrats using the strategy to address issues by “ groups” instead of the individual.

At one part of the spectrum, Democrats use groups to complain against perceived injustices , and their goal is to compensate and reward those groups, even if some of the individuals of that group are outside the circle of need.

So we see the same mindset handing out the People’s money as they see fit. A Broad Brush , just throw money at the problem. Some may eventually filter down to those in need, but while it heads that way, there are plenty of takers to make sure every cent gets gobbled up, even if it was never needed.

They can’t leave race out of anything. It is essential for them to drive home the racism quotient even if it does not have any applicable place . They have no shame, separating farmers into “ groups“ based on their race.

The entire name of the Bill should be changed . This isn’t an American Recovery, it is a Favored Recovery just because they can. Nancy didn’t just delay this Relief because of the election. Ohh no.. She waited it out because now , with the House , Senate and 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, she could reach for the biggest Gold Ring her fingers could hold . They looted the Treasury within a heartbeat of Obama winning, and they are looting the Treasury once again . And they aren’t done. Not by a long shot.
