I may be wrong , but I think trump and McConnell are stalling stimulus

Holding out so trump can pressure them for a bill giving him tax breaks and money into his pockets or we get nothing. Now trump has rigged phony job numbers to use against getting checks to the people, but reward him and his 1%er buddies! and is trying to make the economy look better than it is, but by them doing this they are driving us into a depression. He's trying to project he's behind it getting to the people while he and MITCH stall it getting done until trump gets what he demands. Just my opinion what trump and Mitch are really doing regarding stimulus now, little until trumps demands are met.

As far as what we get, (stimulus checks) aside from the special unemployment benefits running out soon, isn't the idea to crack the whip on the masses in order to economically FORCE them out into the COVID-19 cloud due to sheer necessity and lack of sustenance?

That's the typical, domineering Reporklican way. They wouldn't want certain Americans, (most) to have a choice about their own safety and the ones they do support already have many, many, many times more than what they need to procure it.
