No way, no how - itll NEVER go away and its one step away from payments to every grievance group out there.
Never let a crisis go to waste??????
Is that what is really going on here??????
When youve lost Tom Cotton ...
I feel that I’ve been affected by the virus. Change my mind. And in the meantime — where is my check?
Damn et tu Cotton?
Based on what we’re seeing, they’d just blow it on toilet paper.
For the record, gubmint kept extending the deadline for northeast people filing for Superstorm Sandy (the 2012 Atlantic hurricane) “relief” still.
Also, if the gubmint is aching to do something to help, how about tax reductions until things stabilize? Cutting federal taxes by half would really help my Family.
Too many taxes
Too many laws
Too many handouts
Too many regulations
Too much government already.
Shoulda picked our own cotton,,,,,oh wait,,
I think a box with a basic paper goods and staples would be better served than cash.
Facepalm....If they think this is the right approach then why is everyone attacking Bernie?
Im in NO way in support of govt handouts or bail outs.
However, Id rather see any assistance go to taxpaying WORKERS and biz owners, before going to any more welfare cases. They already receive plenty. Maybe take some from them (hint: illeagals) and give to those truly out of work, due to this CV19.
It should be easily provable, whether youve been receiving a FICA withheld paycheck, or not.
Especially if this thing is likely a ChiCom bio weapon, as Sen Cotton has said.
When is he going to propose the necessary tax hike to fund his charitable giving on behalf of the taxpayers?
Like other senators, he knows what is coming:

I understand these extraordinary measures will impose many hardships, but if we take them now, we can shorten the risk to Americans health and the economic hardships.

Two weeks ago, Italians were merrily sipping wine and coffee at bars and restaurants. Today, elderly Italians are denied care at hospitals and instead administered last rites because their health-care system is collapsing.

The time has come for extraordinary measures to combat the Chinese coronavirus. What seems extreme today will seem obvious tomorrow.
I’m wondering if there isn’t something going on under the surface. Perhaps Nancy & her goons are refusing a payroll tax holiday and insisting on all kinds of giveaways it will be hard to turn off after the outbreak.
Perhaps our guys are signaling this is the best they can do to get relief to the people and stop Nan from going full socialist...
when my pockets run dry....
What an idiot. That money will do no good when you can’t find food or necessities. In fact, it will dilute the value of money so everything will cost more.
The problem now is stores are on reduced hours, restaurants closed, and delivery services swamped. Lines at drive-thrus are already getting long. Soon there will be no way to get your car in line at the drive-thru.
I estimate 2 weeks, and there will be tempers rising and fighting over bag of french fries.
Wrong question. When do we say enough? Crap happens and people should accept some responsibility and plan for it. How many times have you heard "always have 3 months worth of cash available for emergencies"? People have abdicated their responsibilities to the gov't and it's time to say enough. If this goes through, it will never stop, and we all know it.
UBI is a safety net you have for life, for any unemployment event. A one-time stipend for this temporary event is not a lifelong commitment...but it will be used to justify a true UBI, you can bet on that.
