[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYT columnist Paul Krugman is tweeting about the $166 billion cost. He thinks they're a waste of money and only unemployed people should be compensated while the government made us waste a year of our life on lockdown.

@PaulKrugman: "This is pretty upsetting. The "stimulus" checks, which aren't that essential, will cost more than UI, which is. Could easily have done UI long enough to get through until economic recovery."[/quote]

AOC and Trump are upset that the stimulus checks are not $1200 or even $2000.  That tells you a lot about the quality of thinking behind the stimulus checks.[/quote]

I would only want them to cut a $2,000 check per an adult if dependent checks were limited to 15% of that.[/quote]

Why do you hate your, and everyone else's, dependents?[/quote]

Because putting them in the bill literally cut off 5 weeks of unemployment for individuals who have nothing. Congress basically sacrificed 2 months of people being able to feed their kids + provide shelter in order give the entire U.S. (and families with an unlimited amount of kids) enough money for two weeks of fun.

Why should Utah families with no income loss under the $150,000 profile get a government check of $8,000 for having 5-10 kids?[/quote]

That is a false choice made by the Republican congress.  There is no reason unemployment should be cut off, especially when individuals like Joel Osteen are pocketing millions.[/quote]
