Do you support the $900 billion stimulus package?
it extends unemployment benefits and i believe the extra benefits will be $300 weekly...however, there is no stimulus checks like last time and it's the main reason democrats oppose it.
Imo $900 Billion is pathetic considering that both congress and the senate haven't been able to pass any stimulus packages in more than 6 months...yet they easily passed billions of dollars in military spending and continued to bail out the rich. That's my issue in all this because it's not just one party, it's both!
Republicans are saying that they won't support anything over 1 trillion and I'm just in shock that they are putting a price tag on helping the poor but they don't do this when they keep bailing out corporations and wall street...
It's frustrating, and coming from the richest and most prosperous country in the world is sad. While countries like Canada focused on helping suffering Canadians, the US instead turns a blind eye.
If I pay taxes, then I expect that money to be used towards situations like these and not overspending it on war or bailing out the rich

Yes ... Because, Dems will be able to get only what little Moscow Mitch will allow to be put on the floor of the Senate for a vote. And, the idea will be for Dems to get whatever they can to help the working class and the state governments get through the worst of this round of Covid-19 ... Hopefully, Georgians will recognize how important it is for Democrats to win both of their Senate seats next month so that more can be done to help average Americans.
I don't know why you're shocked that Republicans are putting a price tag on helping the poor but don't do that when they're bailing out corporations and wall street. Those are both supply-side, i.e. trickle-down, economic policies. And, Republicans have held the country locked in supply-side economic theory since they and Reagan implemented it in 1981.
Democrats have been looking to break away from supply-side economic theory, i.e. Obama's CHANGE, since Obama was elected in 2008. But, Democrats didn't keep control of Washington long enough to accomplish that. If Dems can win the two Senate seats in Georgia next month, they will be in position to start moving the country away from supply-side and toward demand-side economic theory. And, they will use demand-side economic theory to pull the country out of Trump's Recession much in the same way FDR used it to pull the country out of the Great Depression by building the greatest middle class this country's ever had.

Stimulus checks do not make sense in that giving people more reason to go out and move around during the dead of winter and amidst the worst part of the entire pandemic could only make things even worse.
