"We'll just give everybody a couple of thousand dollars and they will forget what we did..."

It seems like nothing but a bribe so the voters won't hold them responsible?

I am physically sick to my stomach reading about the corruption in the US Senate and the greed of the elected officials of this country.

It's not enough having to deal with the pandemic, we have to deal with a bunch of crooks in our government.

Is it any wonder that we are in the situation we are in?

They've sliced this thing so thin, only a certain amount of people will get aid. Made $100k last year and now make zero? Looks like you may be out of luck. Work for a company with over 500 employees? Sorry. Freelancer, contractor, solo entrepreneur? Ummm. Not even some paper towels.
