So now what? Are we *STILL* waiting on this "stimulus"...?

I'm sure many people needed those checks LAST week... now are they back to the drawing board?

why cant they just break it up into smaller pieces and get the PEOPLE the relief they need? oh, right, that would require someone actually CARING about the people.

Im down to my last $40 and we are out of bread cheese and meat...

I'm considering breaking SIP to go and work for one of my gig-clients just to make $50...


This is just crazy. We are so fucking screwn

I even had a fit about it on here that cost me a post. But I can see why the Democrats want to get this right. It is a lot of money we can’t waste. The oversights still might not enough, but perhaps we can revisit that later. It was an unacceptable bill without some revisions that we want.

I'm afraid this bill has gotten so big that by the time it gets written up that they will sneak language in.
