It is yet another sign of our political dysfunction that a government that dithered for weeks before getting serious about fighting a global pandemic now can’t take a few days for thoughtful debate about how to spend a trillion dollars to deal with the economic fallout. Make no mistake: The Senate Republican plan to send every household $1,200 for each adult and $500 for every child is a really dumb idea. It is not just an inefficient and ineffective way to stabilize the economy — it’s also a cynical ploy by President Trump and the Republican leaders in Congress to buy the next election. Even more surprising is that it seems to have won the reflexive support of liberal Democrats who have become so fixated on economic inequality, so addicted to fiscal stimulus and so desperate to win back the white working class that their instinct isn’t to oppose it, but to demand the checks be even larger.
Fuck you ching chong. When this is over China will pay. They lied, and people died. Economies are dying. But you want to blame the people that are sending us disaster relief money for food, water, and shelter because it's literally against the law where I live to do my job right now? In a few months people like you will be swinging from the street lamps.
If the virus just disappears like Trump said, does that mean there is a possible connection between those propagating the hype and those that don't want the American public to receive relief?
Henry Nelson
If the WaPo is against it, you know it's good for America.

the main problem is that the general public believes lifesaving doctor magic performed by high trained professionals using highly specialized equipment under highly stringent requirement should be guaranteed to everyone as a public right and at the same level for everyone. things like this are a commodity. you want super powerful lifesaving doctor magic when you get sick? better not have done jack shit for the past 10 years of your life then.
Grayson Harris
Did you really have to debate in your mind
Ryan Roberts
That's all they think you're worth. 1200 bucks kek

>jews push for socialism to chain everyone to the lowest common denominator >jews screech for dear life when a real crisis brings about NATIONAL socialist policies
i stopped giving a fuck about society around 2017 so i dont get any free money despite pumping my time and taxes into this shit system for around 17 years
Levi Bailey
>Steven Pearlstein
kikes suck
Dominic Martinez
Also from washington post >Ilhan Omar wants to give everyone $6,000. Here's why that's a good thing.
Adrian Walker
Rent is 1/3 of your income to get a lease. Rent is your largest bill. $1,400 is far more than enough for nearly everyone not in a Californian shithole to pay their rent. It’s the perfect amount to give, not too high not too low, just right above the minimum for the top.
Dylan Hall
>'we can't spend 360 billion on Americans!' >spends a fucking TRILLION a DAY on banks We wouldn't even match 40% of what they do in a single day. Two days it's 18% of that much money. Three days it's 12% Four days that's only 9%, for 1,200 for us, and 4 TRILLION GODDAMN DOLLARS FOR THE BANKS
By the end of the month, we'll have only 1,200 each, or 360 Billion for the 300 million people in America. They will have given the banks 31 TRILLION DOLLARS, or 134% the NATIONAL GODDAMN DEBT.
Don't fucking tell me shit about classes (((pearlstein)))
Samuel Sullivan
You are right. 1200$ is nothing. It needs to be 2000$ MINIMUM.
Aaron Smith
Go away kike.
Israel has enough of my money.
Cooper Torres
You simply highlight the reason the government should not be doing this.
Mason Taylor
seize all chinese owned assets in usa and distribute to millenials and Xers.
Kayden Myers
It's not every american. Just the workers. Parasites get nothing.
Gabriel Jones
What is your qualification?
Cooper Adams
>walmart user hey! hadn't seen you in awhile, was worried. stay safe. i bet you're kinda glad your shit job is at least secure.
Isaiah Davis
Steven Pearlstein needs to crawl into an oven.
David Nelson
>hey! hadn't seen you in awhile, was worried. stay safe. I'll always be alright. >i bet you're kinda glad your shit job is at least secure. Yeah, I'm not going to be one of those sad saps whom have to go on emergency unemployment. I guess I can count on this place to always have work available. Sad. I wanted to take next week off. Oh well. The money is here.
>I don't want Trump to do this obviously good thing because it's so obviously good that it will help him with the election. >Giving voters what they need is 'buying' the election.
Nathaniel Watson
Bush did it in 2007. Shut the fuck up you hs drop out.
Adrian Allen
We STOP giving our money's other countries. That's how we make ourselves ok.
Aaron Rogers
But 1.5 trillion just so the market could hold for 30 minutes just to say "yeah fuck you" was worth it. Eat lead clown.
Austin Green
I think there is a chance the US government doesn't survive this either way
China designed this thing with the US in mind.
Eli Torres
>China designed Oh no friend, this was Canada and the US playing God with shit they shouldn't have been fucking around with, the Chinese simply stole it and fucked up or were sabotaged.
Carson Robinson
the irony eh wally? bitching about your job for years on here only to be on of the lucky ones with a job left.
Easton Lopez
Yes, because until now I thought they wanted UBI.
Blake Bell
Hes right you know
Ethan Sanchez
I would say this is likely correct, but dont downplay the Chinese desire to do the same thing or worse
Fair enough, I think they proved how dasterdly they are when they let all those people out of Wuhan before the quarantine so they could fly all over the west and infect people. That's why I figure the lab was sabotaged, Chinese said well fuck it if we're going down everyone else is coming with us.
Gavin Powell
did you really take time out of your day to post this shit? are you a fucking attention whore or something? or just stupid?
these aren't fucking handouts, they're giving it primarily to people who make less than 75k but more than 2.5k a year and need the shit to pay their bills since we've all been fucked out of work.
Ah, it's just Romanesque bribing the plebs and keeping the god of economy: The FED without blowing up a mountain.
Ethan Murphy
It's a desperate move, I dont need it and I dont want shitskins to get it
Ryder Rogers
This. Events of national crisis like pandemics, natural disasters and wars are most effectively dealt with by an authoritarian regime. Liberal democracy is struggling and libertarianism would be a complete joke.
Landon Richardson
just don't give it to niggers problem solved
William Hall
It isn't UBI at all, it's a tax credit. In other words they're giving tax payers some of our money back. If you didn't pay taxes you don't get shit.
Kayden Young
>increasing money supply while the amount of goods and services is shrinking. enjoy hyperinflation
Parker Lopez

Bentley Mitchell
Hey Walmart guy
Jackson Diaz
You sound jelly of my Trump-bux.
Austin Cruz
Whats the deal with all these people and businesses that cant go 2 weeks without revenue? Maybe they are actually impulsive net loss dead weight. We cant cut a trillion checks every time some riceball eats a bat in China. We must become a stronger network
Luke Sanders
What is the deal with you being so clueless about reality?
Jonathan Ross
Good. I don't pay taxes and I don't want dirty commie money
Jordan Lee
It's not even close to every American.
Grayson Barnes
If some nigger democrat was doing it Steve Pearlstein would praise it. That's all you need to know about his opinion.
Blake Gray
I figured out how to save enough that I dont have to work for years and if you havent done the same then it's not me who is clueless.
Jacob Lewis
I don't want to give you my money either
Easton Gutierrez
If you were not clueless then it would be clear to you why some business cannot go very long without revenue.
Leo Adams
Literally no one in this thread actually read the article! He said the trump bux should be more, and only to people actually impacted. Fuck, this place is just as bad as redd!t.
Aaron Ramirez
But you still love me for free, right?
Kayden Howard
Yes it's very clear to me, they havent saved enough to do it. It's apparently unclear to you, a big mystery.
Leo Rivera
>People's bills aren't going to stop. actually, they are. if a person cannot/will not pay right now for credit cards, mortgages, rent, utilities, etc...pretty much everyone is adopting "no fees, pay later"
Ian Cooper
Sounds like you arent getting your free money. Cope nigga
Hudson Moore
You should go back there if you think reading a wapo article is a good use of your time rather than riffing on the title and vaguely connected concepts with user.
Bentley Howard
how the hell is the economy going to survive if you and everyone else isn't spending every penny you make and some extra on credit cards.
Aiden Hill
Best believe I'm copping a new SKS wif dem Trumpbux
Nathaniel Wood
>the amount of goods are shrinking Are they?
Jackson Martinez
I ask for a better idea. Because 70% of the workforce has no money comin in at all. So unless you want ferals looting and raping what the fuck is the plan?
Henry Bailey
>if you think reading a wapo article is a good use of your time It took 2 mins to read it twice. You niggers are retarded.
Ayden Ramirez
You’re dumb sorry
James Butler
>Because 70% of the workforce has no money comin in at all.
It is not even close to 70% what a faggot.
Jonathan Wilson
It's good you apologized in advance, as no one was talking to you.
You have it backwards. Reading wapo is what made you retarded. Doubling it probably squared the effect.
William Ortiz
Please, buy something better. You’ll have $1200 to buy a decent AR or any pistol under the sun. Do the right thing and buy a quality firearm. Quit buying those heavy piece of shit SKS’s
Every time an user buys an SKS or a moist nugget I cry.
Aaron Barnes
>want a stronger network? Sorry man, America is dead. Whites are openly being genocided and all that held this nation together other than the bribe of prosperity is dead. Now the hard times have come, it doesn't matter why or if they should have been this hard, it only matters that they are hard. We are in the inertia phase of a collapse, the moment before it really hits. Like fools standing on a beach watching the tide receed miles before a tsunami, this is already happening. 1k is nothing, NOTHING. A week before this last, each single job/worker in america paid the banks $10k; this week showered them and coroporations with upwards of 1.5 trillion.
Now fools come and say LET THEM EAT CAKE! For a paltry 1k is too much when you just stole their jobs. Think real long and hard about this one.
What is an american? Look to the sand nigger with his mosques spreading across the lands, imported by our american state. Look to the nigger and its dozen mongrel children sucking up welfare and taking diversity hired jobs and allowed to spread into our neighborhoods. Look to the pajeet street shitting filth whom have been let into this nation like an avalanche of filth while claiming to be 'minorities' while coming from an nation of a billion. The now ubiquitous spics whom infest every fucking mile of our lands speaking their bastardized knockoff of spanish. Are they american?
If yes... then look to the whites and proclaim! You are dead. You are a worthless and must die. Your wives and children must be raped and blended out of existence, while you and your sons are to be tossed into the pit. Your society is dead, your peoples smashed, your history expunged, your culture long forgotten. For EVERYTHING whites have built is to be handed over to others. This is how it must be, to build a 'stronger network' of peoples whom are not white. For white is the devil.
To hell with your stronger network. The nation, its cities, and its 'amerians'. lol.
