A California Congressman has asked his constituents if they needed a second stimulus check and definitely got some answers. Rep. Josh Harder, who represents the state’s 10th district, tweeted on Tuesday asking if anyone or their families “need another stimulus check.”
Talk of a second stimulus check has been around since the CARES Act was passed into law back in March. The $2 trillion bill, designed to keep the economy afloat during widespread coronavirus shutdowns, provided most U.S. citizens with a one-time payment of $1,200, plus $500 for each dependent. While there’s been some action on a second package, including the House passing the HEROES Act in May, which would provide another one-time payment in the same amount, the bill has stalled in the Senate.

Given that both houses of Congress are on recess for the July 4 holiday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has insisted that a second bill will be a priority as soon as they reconvene on July 20. While President Donald Trump has made similar promises, there’s been little in the way of a concrete timeline on when this could happen. And with millions of people are out of work, the financial strain continues to grow.

Absolutely. Weโre down to one income right now and the federal employee income we have isnโt enough to live on.

Possibly. Tell the GOP led Senate to start doing their job, cause theyโve got 4 months until they possibly lose their Senate majority.

A single check isnโt going to do much when enhanced unemployment ends this month. Itโs going to get ugly fast. Especially when Jared, Kanye and the like got millions for free

I am 60, with a compromised immune system. I was denied unemployment several months ago. I wait tables as my craft, so what do I do now? I face the public every single day. I live in fear I will test positive and have to deal with this awful sickness. What else can I do?

I’m about to really need one soon, as my company applied for PPP loan and I think it all went to Yeezy and The Daily Caller.
