Covid-19 Legislation


Recommended Posts


I don't think the stimulus package does nearly enough. $1,200 per person. That's equivalent to a $14,400 salary.

 

There needs to be a big push to open up food stamps for more people, at least temporarily. We need to take care of basic needs. I think a lot more people are going to lose their jobs. Expanding food stamps would address a problem for those that truly need the help. Or increasing the unemployment amount a person can get (maybe they already did that and I'm not aware of it). Maybe make it so if you were making less than $20,000 you get 100% of the amount you were making on the job.

Can't do that...it means Bernie was right and....#socialism

 

(being sarcastic here but hey, I'll be a Bernie supporter until the end of time now...he is an inspiration)

Bernie is nuts and there is not a single person on this site that doesn't think you should work for your money...

 

But...I would take every free penny Bernie would give us...so would all of us.

Because of Bernie Sanders people will get 100% of their paycheck plus $600 a week up to $75,000 for four months if they lose their job. Thank you Bernie!

She is horrible.

 

I can't wait for the day when a bill is literally a bill about one thing.  

 

Bill:  S-6969:  All adults get 1,200 and all kids get 500.  That is it...that is the bill.  

The bill is a hell of a lot more than that. It actually is decent for helping small businesses and keeping people on payrolls.

I think you misunderstood me.  The bill should be one thing.  How it helps can be many things.  But to be like "Everyone gets 1,200 dollar AND planned parenthood blah blah blah" is stupid.

Why is she horrible? The text of your "bill" is what she put in this thing.

 

What did she do with this bill that was so bad, specifically?

Not talking about the bill.  The bill is fine, I guess, even though it should have been one bill for the people and then a totally separate bill with all the other garbage they wanted to fight about.
