    1. $900,000,000,000 divided by the 10,700,000 unemployed is $84,112 (obviously too excessive)
      $900,000,000,000 divided by the 330,000,000 population is $2,727 (where’s the rest)
      Oh yeah, Congress will evenly distribute the rest to big corporations with the best lobbyists. Probably vote themselves a raise for their good deeds as well.

    2. @Chelsea Syrek We won’t get it. Actual transparency of government spending is extremely convoluted. Maybe they’ll tell us _after_ they pass the bill.

    1. @ZoeTech they have made more since covid began compared to the amount of money the govt. has given out. Also we need to stop bailing out industries just let them fail that is true capitalism aka boeing and hotels.

    2. Isn’t Dr fauci’s wife Ghislaine Maxwell’s sister? Isn’t Bill Gates from both Rockefeller/Maxwell stock? What is going on?
      The Chinese biological laboratory in Wuhan is owned by Glaxo, who owns Pfizer! Pfizer is owned by Blackrock finances, who managed the finances of the Open Foundation Company (Soros Foundation) which serves the French AXA. Coincidentally, Soros owns the German company Winterthur, who by chance, built the Chinese laboratory in Wuhan that was bought the German Allianz. Which has, Vanguard as a shareholder, which is also a shareholder of Black Rock. Black Rock controls the central banks and manages about one third of the global investment capital, and is a major shareholder in Microsoft. Microsoft is property of Bill Gates (a Rockefeller) who happens to be a shareholder of Pfizer. (Which sells the miracle vaccine) and is currently the first Sponsor of WHO.
      In the New Testament the word pharmekeia occurs three times (Gal 5:19-21; Rev 9:21; 18:23). Each time, it is translated as ‘sorcery’ or ‘magic’ = the use of drugs, potions, spells, and/or poisoning, witchcraft, magical potions. Injecting aborted foetus tissue into males has been shown to modify behaviour, feminise masculine traits Lgbt-agenda? This is a vile form of eugenics, chemical modifications disguised as medicine… Frankenstein Science.
      The real problem here is Soros, Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg & their nefarious Dominion, Big Tech, Pharma shenanigans.

    1. @bLoWc16 I DON’T CARE – I PREFER TO LIVE LIKE A SAN FRANCISCO STREET HOBO THANK TAKING A CHECK FROM PUTIN’S ASSET

    2. @Joshua Negrete So I’m kinda torn on your comment. In the past, I’ve been hung up on the Term Limits idea for so long, that I purposefully ‘no vote’ or vote against the incumbent as often as possible – even if I agree with them. While I realize we need experience in office, and it takes that to make informed decisions, I just think we should NOT HAVE career politicians, especially for DECADES. Otherwise we will continue to get the stonewalling, blame game BS we have now.
      I find it incredibly hard to believe that lobbyists and other groups do not influence candidates more and more through their terms. Financially, it’s very difficult for new candidates to run because the parties back the incumbent much more – so they can remain in power as a party. I think there should be a limit to the number of terms (2-3 max) a person can occupy a particular office with the current terms we have (2, 4 (x2), & 6 years). The longer someone is in office, the greater chance of nepotism and other power grabbing measures seem to take place.
      This a short and somewhat funny video on Term Limits. https://youtu.be/TnwGdl1YrQ8

      After looking into your suggestion, I will agree with you that it does make quite a bit of sense and maybe there’s a middle ground.

      I think, especially given the current fiasco, that this process could take much longer to count. Also, I can’t understand why every state does not already have the same voter requirements and election processes, especially during National elections.

    1. @Stan Wilson How is it you believe it’s a prez/VP who send checks? You are obviously clueless. Did you pay taxes the past 4 years? The truth is there is NO difference between red/blue/coke/pepsi. They are bought and owned by big banks/corps/and owners of the federal reserve. If any prez has worked for citizens since the fed was put in place this country would not be the way it is now. The corporate owners are TRILLIONS richer since is so called pandemic started, they could send 3k a citizen and still have earned profits.

    2. @Picasaa P WHERE ARE YOU MORALS AND PRINCIPLES?? YOU ARE WILLING TO LOSE YOUR DIGNITY FOR A MEASELY CHECK FROM PUTIN’S ORANGE LAPDOG!??

    3. It will benefit the companies of the politicians, their families and their supporters. The majority must remain poor and live from check to check to have them in control for the labor force, simple logic.

  1. And to add insult to injury people are caught in a storm with no money no food and no warm place to live this Deal should have been done

    2. Unemployment is just 6.9%. This is higher than the ideal 5% but not far off. The economy is fairly good unless you work in restaurants then a lot of governors have ruined you life and the state should subsidize you not the federal government and they didn’t take your job away.

    3. @Joe H why blame mitch? Mitch tried passing a 1.8 trillion dollar bill months ago but Pelosi shut it down. Why is it Mitch’s fault now?

    1. @Michael Yurcho Eventually it will have to be tax payers money. The government doesn’t create value, it has to take it from someone and that someone is ultimately the tax payer. It may be our grandkids who aren’t even born yet that will have to pay for our national debt today.

    2. @Just Facts Exactly, both parties are corrupt. No matter who you vote for, you loose. I’d personally like to see a few libertarians get in congress just to shake things up but they will probably turn against us too.

    3. @Curt D both take our money. Give to the wealthy. I pay the same taxes under both corrupt party. Different advertisement, different causes. The middle class pays the TAXES, the wealthy, poor, and Corp are parasites. Welfare and BAILOUTs. Who pays… Middle class! Republicans=Democrats=corruption.

    4. @Curt D it’s a party of one in Congress… The Corruption PARTY. Nancy and Mitch put this fake show on. Pretending to disagree. Behind closed doors… Both laughing on the way to the bank. Getting wealthy on bribes, insider trading, fundraising, etc. The WEALTHY know this. Only the other 99% are led to believe they are fighting for liberal or conservatives causes. Dividing the masses.

    5. @Just Facts I agree. I’d like to see some libertarians get in just to mix it up but I’m guessing they will join the others and turn their backs on us.

  2. INVEST IN PEOPLE, FIRST!!!! We need more than that. We have over 200k less people in the country than before but we receive less aid???? What am I missing?

    1. @Devin Edwards true pelosi was the one stopping any help because as she stated she will not give trump a win but that makes her even worse

    2. Um we have a net pop increase of over 150k. We are at 110% versus what was estimated for average annual deaths, and strangely no one is dying of the flu. Something doesn’t add up with the covid deaths dog

    3. @A B yea it’s why your begging for 600 dallors ohh I gotcha a dallar ohh you almost had it ohh lap it up mate just keep lapping it up half a loaf Mich McConnell

    1. @Christina Miller call your local Senator and Congressman’s offices. They have staff to get it done. Even than it will take time, buy you will get your money.

    2. I wish they would get it. Doesn’t even have to be violent. People just need to tell the Government to suck it and go back to work. Open their business, bring people back to work.

    1. @Tyler Brock Just the Republicans? You don’t see the Democrat Corporatists? Big Tech and Media Corporations are all run by democrats.

  3. Believe it when i get a check, they promised a second one back in August and have done NOTHING they care only about themselves period.

    1. I never got a check either, but makes sense, just like the election they saw i was red and chose to look the other way.

    1. @Vulcan Logic I didn’t site the stock market, I’m looking at unemployment. It doesn’t matter where the government sends the subsidies. The rich are smart enough to take advantage of any government program. The poor are too desperate or stupid to oppose it because they government makes it sound good, and the middle class pays for it. When the government sent out that $1,200 while all small businesses were closed, where do you think people spent that money? Big box stores and amazon. Jeff Bazos went from 115 billion to almost 200 billion in 2020 an increase of 74%. That is why I am for eliminating as many government programs as possible. No matter how hard politicians try, they always ultimately help the rich.

    2. you mean the democrat party? They shut down the bill that was twice this amount that republicans pushed forward.

    3. @DemonEmperor Many who considered themselves Middle Class are no longer considered Middle Class. They just went down a notch on the food chain.☹

    4. @Curt D unemployment numbers are skewed. They only count the people collecting unemployment. After unemployment runs out for the individual they are no longer counted. The disabled and the homeless don’t get counted. Like you said small businesses have been closed for over 6 months and their unemployment ran out so they are not counted. Rich people are not smart for taking advantage, they are the ones who pay off politicians to make it that way. The middle class isn’t the only one who pays for it. Not everyone with a job is middle class, especially when people would have to be paid $15 to $25 an hour (depending on state) to be considered middle class.

  4. 7 months and only $300.to $600. They act like its coming out of their pockets. That’s only helps with utilities.

    1. Well the lockdowns had to happen to try to save lives but they could of helped us before now so the fault lies with trump and his lackies who could give a damn

    2. Trump wasted money left and right. Think of the parade, holiday parties and his travel that accomplished nothing. Americans have suffered too much thanks to Trump and McConnell! –Bonnie Robinson

    1. The greatest is looking up some real money and where it goes like the 738 billion dollar military defense budget that was approved for 2020 which was 20 billion more than 2019, though still less than the 750 billion trump asked for, even though we have lost more to covid than many many other wars, an ongoing battle we could not negotiate our way out of, but help the people, and it’s all hoover flags, just empty pockets hanging out, and even the money they come up with, much of it has gone to big business, when business will do better if people are spending money, but it’s always gotta trickle down from a weak prostate instead of us telling the billionaires you’ll get it once i order something off amazon. When are we the people gonna be thought of as too big to fail, they’re just afraid it’ll seem like socialism, and might work, and we might like it, but ok now they see, that even the people that agree with them, are out wandering the streets protesting for or against because they’re bored and angry, jobs and spending keep people happy, or at least occupied enough not to be problematic

    2. This country has lost it under The Trump presidency, lost humanitarian efforts, this pandemic has opened my eyes and hearts to things I don’t know before it’s outbreak. This country is a joke.

    1. @Dre Sted Ya how bout both? How bout everyone fights for work(which is kind of a requirement for life) and a stimulus for a mess that our own government largely caused.

  5. Wtf is 300 or 600 dollars going to do for people who have already been evicted and going hungry. This is a damn shame!!!!

    1. @Enough just keep begging so 600 so I gotcha a dallar ohh you almost had it ohh lap it up mate just keep lapping it up

    1. Politicians shutting down small businesses subsidied the big box stores and online giants by eliminating competition. The governments over reaction to covid has catapulted Jeff Bazos’ net worth to $200 billion. Bill Gates is worth $119 billion. The harder they shut down the more they helped the rich. Remember who really helps the rich get richer.

    2. @Michael Breindel You do realize the government can only give what it first takes. You pay taxes and they are giving you a small bit of that ($600) back. Why dont they just lower taxes?

    1. If they pass it before they go home. Then 3 weeks before they come back. You don’t think they would get these checks after they pass the bill now do you? NO AFTER the holidays. Then sent out the checks we’re looking at Feb. I guess
