Trump seeking $850B in emergency stimulus ($500B in payroll tax cut, $250B for small business loans, $58B for airlines) UP: Possibly sending checks
- Thread starter GK86

Democrats need to coordinate on messaging and ASAP.
The republican measures are trash if you only get 600$ when you're poor. And the reliance on 2018 tax returns. They are fucking morons. The dems can easily destroy them here.

What are you even talking about? You're disgusted by the bolstering of unemployment insurance?
They're talking about across the board $1,000 checks, take a deep breath guys.
The dems want larger checks to more people. Not no checks. They just also want enhanced unemployment benefits.
One of these bills has already been passed and signed into law.
This bill is being written today, brought to the floor tomorrow and voted for on Monday.
The small bill was passed. I'm talking about the large bill that includes the checks. Which bill are you talking about that is getting voted on on Monday?
Your law few posts have been just straight spewing of nonsense.
Second sentence.
And in the scheme of things this check bill is going to be a small bill in the necessary response. This is going to be one of many bills passed.
Seriously, this makes no sense. What about people who immigrated here after 2018 and therefore have no 2018 tax return? Or college students that graduated and entered the workforce within the last 14 months? Or people who were just unemployed at that time?
The amount need to be standardized across all income levels, or ideally those people who actually make less receive a larger check to compensate.
Right, which check bill? There have been like 10 different ones floated in this thread.
The entire auto industry is about to collapse and people here are upset that the Dems want to expand unemployment insurances?
The fuck?
The fuck?
This isn't so much about helping people pay their bills as it is about injecting a bunch of cash into the economy.
There are many social programs in existence and currently being bolstered to help people in need.
Like the quote above yours. People were saying less money and worse bill now? I thought it couldn't get any worse than it was, lol.
I'm not sure where people are getting that from. Every Dem proposal I've seen had the check amount higher than the GOP bill.
Yeah, I don't think any new proposals have come out today. It's understandable that people are watching this closely, but maybe hold off on snapshot reactions. Last I read, they started drafting the bill yesterday and will try to finish today.
Mnuchin was talking one time 1200 + 500 per kid, with phase ins, lowest earners getting 600.
Now we're talking 1000 across the board per qualified adult and bolstering unemployment benefits and SNAP.
But guys this is going to be the first of many bills.
What is the current word on what "qualified" is? It seems to change daily. lol
I think I need to check out of this thread. There's is so much misunderstanding and people just throwing out comments that have no source or backing.
always remember when it comes to advice on money, video games, and politics, never trust this community.
1000 dollars until whenever they can get their collective shit together again to squeeze out a little more probably is going to lead to a lot of hardship...
I guess it really just depends on how quickly they can move, but I don't have much faith in our government to not fudge it every step of the way.
Kudlow saying it's now a 2 trillion dollar package.
Everyone needs to relax, part of this is negotiation theatrics. 1200, 1000, no one knows what's happening until pen hits paper.

It's been far past time for Durbin to be the #1 Dem in the Senate. Schumer sucks at this so badly.

This, and also please remember that these are negotiations. No one's bill is going to look exactly the same as when they introduced it. Things will be changed, removed, reduced, or added. That's the nature of the beast.
If the debate is tomorrow, do we get to know anything before then? Feels kind of wrong that they're deciding stuff that will have a huge effect on all our lives yet we don't get to know a single thing about it as they start debating it.

They're saying they have an agreement and I'm sure details will start filtering out later tonight/tomorrow morning if not fully released. The bill will be a public document once it gets to the floor.
Congress doesn't usually negotiate and pass a trillion dollar plus bill in the course of three days.
