If the concept of a public library was introduced today, those same people would vote no because it’s some “socialist” evil concept.

$2000 IS a “democratic interest”. Mitch, the arch-republican, said no and Trump, the leftist? said yes.

I don’t want any more aid.
The US is SINKING in debt.
This is only going to fuel rampant inflation in a few years.

Hrmm I am not affected (in a different country altogether) but it seems just giving out money is a bad idea? Is it to help with anything?
I got a Christmas bonus of $750 from my employer. \o/

Yup, the virus has mutated and it’s just a matter of time for the inevitable.
I don’t understand what the big deal is to give us back some of the money that we’ve all paid in toward taxes - paycheck after paycheck, year after year, decade after decade.
