Biden Transition Highlights: Congress Reaches a Deal on Stimulus Package
"Leaders struck a long-sought stimulus deal, agreeing to provide $900 billion in aid. President Trump has discussed appointing a conspiracy theorist to investigate election fraud."

I hope nobody here is hurting too badly. Grocery prices in the US have gone up markedly of late, I hear.

It's a total wonder to me how he can look himself in the mirror when the purse strings are only tightened if the poverty-stricken need help.

The mistake was asking businesses and people to lockdown and not provide compensation for it like nearly every other civilized country did.

The US elected officials are a disgrace.

You can't mandate that people cannot work unless you provide assistance to keep a roof over their heads. Most will roll the dice with COVID if faced with living homeless on the streets. If the US had politicians who truly cared... they would have followed Canada's lead. Instead, their politicians left for one of their tax-payer paid vacations while taxpayers were waiting in food lines.

What is 600.00 going to do? Seriously. Americans should be hanging their heads in shame for voting these morons in office.

For too many, the cruelty is still the end goal in itself.

Almost admiring the democrat's ability to own goal this because I've seen a lot more complaining about Pelosi for the 600 dollar checks that weren't her idea, and just about zero blame for the true architects of the austerity limit (McConnell + Republican Senators who balked about allowing people the price of an actual rent check). Ridiculous how completely inadequate their messaging has been.

They did nothing for months, but then got in a hurry to pass a 5600 page bill with less than half a day to read over it before voting...

Both parties filled their friends pockets. Even if he is on his way out, I dont see Trump turning this down.

Apparently, Trump concurs with your opinion. Because he's not having this bill.
