Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is calling for the federal government to issue a $1,000 check “to each American” to help offset the cost of dealing with the coronavirus.
In a statement issued Monday, outlined his coronavirus proposals and called for the thousand-dollar checks to be issued “immediately”:

$1,000?
A lot of people will be wondering how much toilet paper that can buy.
The world, and the politicians especially, have gone stark raving mad.
Romney is showing a rapidly escalating mental decline into libtardism. I really wonder why he finally let the mask slip, exposing him as a libtard?
That dinner will probably be on your patio and that movie will probably be a Redbox or an Amazon Prime issue---everything's closed due to coronavirus!
Didn't you pay attention to this "math problem" a couple of weeks ago?
300 million times 1 million is 3 quintillion.
His conscience probably $$$ got to him.
THEY couldn’t figure it out.
Besides the taxes involved. Wouldn’t cost more than $1,000 to give everyone $1,000?
God, what a total flaming asshole.
It is a very difficult time.
I think I remember POTUS or Mnuckin talking about payments to people that are furloughed, laid off, or need to take off to watch children or tend sick relatives. The coronavirus bill the Senate is working on will address some of that. Unemployment may be extended and the President is sa=ying they want to work with companies to cover sick leave.
Stay tuned.
OH; WAIT...
I did to in 2012...........
What do my Mormon FRiends think about Mitt's idea?
I’d rather a few people game the system than a sick person...etc...
= = = = = = = = = =
Really? DO YOU THINK I AM SAYING SICK SHOULD GO TO WORK?
I am talking of the people that would find an excuse to NOT go to work, those that have years in the work force and have NO accumulated sick leave.
The surest way to get people to work is to DECLARE all non essential people stay home without pay, they manage to get off their ‘death bed’ and make it in.
If money not coming in, hard to let money go out. Now if I were to say that YOU are saying that private industry should have to ‘foot the bill’ you would say I am wrong BUT if the Government subsides it is from OUR tax money.
Then again they will just ‘print’ more.
BJ’s is well stocked. They had a bulk toilet paper that was almost to big for one person to carry.
100 rounds; eh?
“What do my Mormon FRiends think about Mitt’s idea?”
I am thinking of moving.
With my mormon friends it would be about 50/50. I.e., half of them are very conservative. The other half never met a gov. program they didn’t like. First ones to get on board with fish hatcheries, wind farms, subsidies for foster parenting, adoptions of Russians and the like.
I think Mitt should just give everyone that money himself. He can afford it.
