Congress has taken little to no action towards settling their stimulus dispute this week. This, of course, has left millions around the U.S. frustrated. While Congress initially passed legislation that led to most Americans receiving $1,200 stimulus checks, unemployed people receiving bonus payments and businesses receiving relief in the forms of loans. However, the economy is still as rough as the pandemic rages on.
Americans are dealing with major cash shortages, stemming from the fact that many businesses are either closed down or are bringing in less business. With unemployment bonuses gone and only one stimulus check sent out, many have fallen behind on rent and other bills. With the future unclear, any have vented online about their struggles. Scroll through to see what some frustrated Twitter users have to say about the situation.

We are in the 6th month of a pandemic and the government hasn’t dropped more stimulus checks but people are supposed to evacuate for a Category 3 hurricane. Where are they supposed to go with no money?How are they supposed to be safe from a deadly virus?

And there is no reason why we couldn’t have been. All the other countries have been helping their citizens but our country is too damn cheap. They can’t even send another stimulus because the turtle had to go on vacation because we aren’t important

No Stimulus Checks? You can’t restart the Economy unless you give Americans another Stimulus Check for about 2 Thousand Dollars! Wal-Mart says sales are way down because people don’t have another Stimulus Check to Spend!! pic.twitter.com/AIwf2J6oK2
