Let's at least be honest here...$1200 per person, and $500 per kid, that you have to pay back if you made more than $75K in 2018 (or 2019 if you already filed your taxes) isn't schit.

It's a shiny object to take your eye off the trillions being handed out to the big corporations, again.

At the very least that $500 Billion being handed over to corporations needs to be anything but a "slush fund" that corporate lackey Mnuchin gets to hand out like Halloween candy to the President's favorites.

If it's going to happen, it has to have a ton of conditions on what it can be used for, and every one of those conditions better be for the direct benefit of the workers and jobs that need the help.

The airlines aren't failing because of reduced flying for the last 10 days; they are failing because the last time we gave them hundreds of billions of dollars to "help their business and workers", they took the money, bought back all their stocks, and then cashed it out and the execs parsed it out to themselves.

They get nothing, not until every one of those execs pays back every fuckin penny...and those execs should be in jail.

If there is going to be a bailout, put the money where it works...and for right now, that's into unemployment insurance to extend and increase benefits for those who are out of work because of this.

The unemployment numbers are going to come out tomorrow between 12% and 13%, and that's the worst since the 50s.

Trickle up economics always works; give people money, especially poor people, and they will spend it, and the economy moves in the right direction.

It's always been that way, until asshat Reagan flipped it upside down and began the precipitous slide into the 1% with almost everything and the rest with almost nothing, comparatively speaking.

No matter what you ever hear from anyone, especially in the GOP and their echo chamber ballwashers, the US of A is the biggest Socialist country in the world, bar none, bigger than all the rest, ever, combined.

We just give all of our Socialist tax dollars to gigantic corporations.

Fish on...
