Also included, per article, is to give more direct payments to individuals. YA THINK???? I'd love to see Congress critters live on $1,200, with no immediate hope of more income! 🤬🤬🤬
Pass "significantly more" money for state and local governments, as well as additional funding for hospitals and nursing homes.
Ensure coronavirus treatments, and not just testing, will be free.
Provide for protective equipment needs, such as masks and gloves.
Require an emergency Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard to protect health care workers and other at-risk workers, such as TSA employees, first responders, and grocery store employees.
Much more at link. Of course, now that repukes have their $2T+ slush fund, they don't think another stimulus package is needed! 🤬

Repukes got what they wanted - huge slush fund on raxpayers' backs & no eviction control or provision for significant long-term stability for the masses.🤬

They oerate in what I call plantation mentality. (No offense to eole of color intended here.)
They think we are all their corporate slaves.
I've seen several of them absolutely furious over the individual payouts, saying things like "this is incentivizing them not working." 🤬🤮
Absolutely reprehensible! But I suppose that's the definition of repuke.
Their party should be deemed a domestic terrorist organizatio, IMO. After all, their president is willfully murdering citizens and the party is complicit.👍

No billing, no payroll.

They all suck.
