Pretty sure you are dead wrong. Also:

Democrats added a provision to ban businesses owned by the president, vice president, members of Congress and the heads of federal executive departments from receiving loans or investments through the corporate liquidity program. The prohibition also applies to their children, spouses and in-laws.

frick this deal... no reason to give people straight up checks without underlying conditions...

Why should someone who is making 65k and still employed and working get a check? Why should someone who makes 100k and is out of work not get one?

Give money to unemployment benefits and stabilizing national, critical industries.

That's what I've been telling people. Unless they relax the conventional mechanisms for SBA loans, this ain't gonna help much.

Also no reason to give Congress a raise and demand airlines publish carbon emissions and fund abortion on demand and throw some money at Howard University and regulate all public traded companies must have gender and racial diverse boards

Wait... so entities such as the Trump hotels, who are just as affected by this as Hilton or Mariott are unable to participate simply because... Trump?

Pelosi got rolled again.

NOTHING she asked for is in the agreed upon bill. It's basically identical to the bill the senate was going to agree to over the weekend.



I hope you're right, but it is my understanding it still has to go back through the House. Do not put anything past Nances. She is a horrible person. So I hope it is this:



and not this:

Question for this that know... these direct paychecks, what are they base on?

Are they gross income on your W2 or are they based off AGI that is taxable at the end of the year after deductions?

Because they’re actually contributing to the economy now and in some cases working with the public (which should basically be considered hazard pay) while tons of people are home sitting on their arse whether they want to or not.

The poorest Americans (who are struggling the most)


This is the only change out of the ones you mentioned - and they weren't "omitted" they got smaller checks than others because they aren't losing as much as others. Those individuals almost all qualify for some sort of public benefit as well - Medicaid, Food Stamps, Child Care Assistance, rent/utility subsidies, etc...

They aren't "struggling the most" during this time because there really is no substantive change for those individuals.

the dems will make sure that Planned Parenthood gets something out of this. Baby killing is a priority during this pandemic.

Did it get passed so we can now find out what’s in it?

Trump's number one priority is to protect the American citizens. He is doing that. How can you be disappointed in him for that?

That’s a stupid reason... so they get a bonus, which they really don’t need and are going to spend on a new xbox or set of trucknuts?

If it’s about stimulating the economy, then you give same amount of money to everyone, regardless of income bc you want them to spend it. If you want to help the ones truly impacted, then you put all that money into unemployment benefits.
