[Direct quote from Mitch on the Senate floor a minute ago] is to put money directly into the hands of the American people.

I'm lucky to have a job to go to, as all supposedly non-essential businesses have been ordered closed in my state.
A check would help weather present difficulties, even if it's a drop in the trough compared to what our retirement plan lost.
