CNBC apparently had no problem treating Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-UT) coronavirus plan to give “every” American $1,000 as a rational idea. CNBC came right off the bat to make the senator look like some sort of philanthropist: “GOP Sen. Mitt Romney proposed on Monday sending every American adult $1,000 to ease the financial pain of the coronavirus pandemic that has tanked global markets and threatened to grind U.S. economic activity to a halt.” Did the outlet consider the irony that such a policy could require massive spending and tax increases that would further “grind U.S. economic activity to a halt”?

Of course he did. Romney is such a backstabbing @$$.

[Kickass Conservative]

Looks like the Treasury Secretary is saying the same thing according to Mark Steyn on Rush’s Show.

or Cut Taxes

[The_Media_never_lie]

Just borrow from your grand kids, to enjoy the present. Romney should be ashamed.

[SmokingJoe]

OK let all the overpaid presenters at CNBC give all their money to their fast dwindling viewers to cope with coronavirus.

[Go Gordon]

What a waste of $330 billion.

[Spruce]

That is affirmative. I am watching the end of the press conference now. They fully intend on issuing “substantial” checks to each adult.

[a fool in paradise]

How many million thousands (billions) will be wired back HOME to Mexico?

[SomeCallMeTim]

Is this taxable income?

[wally_bert]

Better.

[TangledUpInBlue]

Every American or Every Household??

So me, my wife and kids will all get $1K???

[wally_bert]

Guaranteed.

[Sequoyah101]

360,000,000 x 1,000 That is a lot of zeroes.

I don’t want it. It is a meaningless trinket to most.

[WinMod70]

I hope it’s $1.00 bills considering the TP shortage.

[Man from Oz]

I still can’t believe he was a presidential candidate much less the fact that I voted for him and that other loser (McCain). Wow..

[gibsonguy]

“Looks like the Treasury Secretary is saying the same thing according to Mark Steyn on Rush’s Show.“

I’m telling you Mnuchin is Rat mole. He was with Goldman Sachs l think and we know they are a bunch Dems.

[Amendment10]

Given the federal government’s vast acreage of money trees guarded by unicorns, Romney’s suggestion is worth considering. /s

Remember in November!

MAGA, also KAGA! (Keep America Great Always!)

Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA will effectively give fast-working Trump a third term in office imo.

[Hot Tabasco]

Will I get a check too? I could use the money.....I have my eye set on a new Sig P365

[lodi90]

What a waste of $330 billion.

More than that. You can bet Dems will find a way to give to illegals.
