What, you don't think half a month's rent will solve everyone's financial problems?

At least they’re still doing $300/week for unemployment.

Best I got.

one thing is the far left is much more educated and intelligent than the far right. Thus, less easily manipulated.

I wanted as big of a blanketed stimulus early on as possible. That were talking generic and not targeted relief 9 months into this horsefeathers kind of tells you everything you need to know about how poorly Congress has done this.

I don't know that polls are gonna tell us much at this point....it's gonna be super close and there's gonna be a lot of drama around this thing....especially if either Dem wins.

This shouldn't be news, but I guess sort of is?

Try to put the cork back in the bottle to avoid getting sued.

It is a dream of mine that a health care worker--before administering the vaccine--tees off on one of these mf'ers about the way they handled the pandemic. Have them sit and squirm for a minute as they get read the riot act. Then give them the shot and tell them they'll see them in 4 weeks. Then watch as the snowflakes run for cover.

They also packed in 500 million for Israel. I guess payment for killing Iranian scientists.

It’s the most recent record they have of anyone’s income

I know the stimulus had the same income limits the first time around, but I guess it made more sense then when people weren't so far removed from their 2019 income. Someone making more than $99,000 is certainly not immune to hardship, and there are limits to how long even high-income individuals can keep up with their bills in the event of extended unemployment. One could argue that $600 isn't likely to help them very much anyway, but it still doesn't seem fair to tell those people they don't get anything.
