prevnextHere's what's been needed all along:
MANDATE MASKS
CANCEL MORTGAGES
CANCEL RENT
CANCEL DEBTS
CANCEL TAXES FOR WORKING PEOPLE
PAY PEOPLE $3,000 PER MONTH FOR THE DURATION
...RETROACTIVE TO MARCH
TAX WEALTH ABOVE $10 MILLION AT 100%
That is "significant."

they should play that game with pelosi where she tries to guess how much everyday items cost and see if she even knows

prevnextUnfortunately that is all republicans would allow. It was pelosi’s package that asked for twice that much plus money to help state and local government and more unemployment. Put credit (or fault) where it truly lies.

Look, $600 might not seem like much to you, but to SOME people it's a fortune. For example, your landlord. Now he knows exactly what to demand from every single overdue tenant. It's a HUGE amount if you look at it from his perspective. Have some empathy. It's Christmas.

prevnext$600 is $600 more than watch Mitch wanted to give. It’s not enough but it’s more than what we had when we woke up this morning. For months we had nothing. I am grateful even if I am alone on this.... I am grateful.

the other day someone said "$600 is what rich people think poor people think is a lot of money" and this just confirms it

prevnextReminds me of when Barbara Bush said the Hurricane Katrina evacuees in the Astrodome were underprivileged so it was “working very well for them”. Unreal... Callous. Out of touch. Can we PLEASE get leaders who understand the material conditions of life for poor and working class?

They have millions in savings. Won't work until they have the same amount of assets as the average household, which sounds pretty good too

prevnext$600 is a significant amount for working families?!?! When people get this HUGE(sarcasm) check they are going to have to make a big decision to make. Either pay the their rent, or buy food, or pay their bills. . My GOD $600 isn't enough. Other countries help their citizens.

I hope someone tells her. I really hope someone tells them all. in fact @SpeakerPelosi $600 is just over one weeks pay in most places. That is not Significant

Please clarify how you would spend that ‘significant’ $600 as Xmas approaches. you’ve not worked in 7 months, lost your healthcare & your children are sick but you can’t afford to bring them to the doctors. And you are being evicted for 6 months back rent.
