Go where you want to go and have a good time. Vacations support a lot of small businesses.

Good grief...smh.

A Democrat saying out loud what they really think...rookie mistake.

First, not shut the entire country down to begin with...not everywhere is as close quartered as NYC. I realize that ship has sailed, so hurry up and allow businesses to open. I also trust that the folks running those business can open up with caution and common sense without having to be handheld by the gov. I still think we could have better targeted who actually needed the money rather than pass it out to folks that are still working...again, I realize that ship has sailed. I hope I am 100% wrong on the stimulus money and the economy comes back quickly in part because of it, but to your point about tough times possibly still around the corner, I am worried about that as well, especially with the latest events tied to crude oil. I will add that I know it's easy to second guess actions after the fact...I can't imagine the pressure and scrutiny that our leadership is under right now.

Seems to be once again, a problem not necessarily created but accelerated by the fed gov and they are somehow our only savior. I look for this to happen more and more often. We are becoming conditioned to having a federal safety net for all ills.

I have no doubt that pumping funds into the economy will be helpful but to what cost? Nash, I understand this is your expertise, but should we expect the fed gov to step in and spend trillions everytime we have a correction.

Yep, it’s fair. Fair would have been giving only those in need a check.

That's my point...it was handled horribly and should have been dealt with through unemployment. If you did not lose you job or have your hours cut, you should not have received a check. I certainly don't feel entitled to one just because I am a taxpayer...yes, it is fair that not all got a check. Checks should go to those that were negatively affected by the economy.

I think it should have been handled with unemployment...if still working then no money. Didn’t get one but if I did no way I would refuse it. Like I said, my problem is the billions sent to folks that are still working and not struggling.

Oh, trust me, I am in no way complaining about the recipients of the checks. My complaint is the money for all method and where this leaves us (our kids, grandkids) down the road.

Cut spending...zero sum??? Surely, you jest. The way they are handling this is very irresponsible and reckless...just like most everything the fed gov “handles”.

It's simply putting us further into debt and once again, reinforcing that the fed gov is the answer to all problems. We already have a plan in place for situations like this, unemployment, and rightfully so, those that don't lose their job get no money. I know folks like getting their check but it's a bad idea that will come with a cost, maybe not now, but at some point.

What is also ridiculous is we are giving stimulus checks to folks that are still working.

Holder is just about the worst of the worst.

Very sorry we failed to meet your expectations.

Inside joke...Big girl misspelled it long ago and it stuck.

I thought so, but let's see if any of our friends on the left agree.

[Hidden Content] Party over integrity for the Washington Democrats, but we knew that already.

Missed my point completely about simply shutting our economy down...read Smashmouth's post, excellent points. And you don't really think we only have 600,000 infected, do you?

[Hidden Content] Largest gathering of losers cancelled by coronavirus...what a shame.

[Hidden Content] I guess we should continue funding an organization that played a major role in allowing coronavirus to explode...smh.

Agree 100%...welfare, under good intentions or not, has destroyed countless lives and families. Sadly, it's used as a political tool simply for votes, even when the results are very clear.

Not eating fruit bats until I run out of ribeyes and pork chops. 🙂

They need a new guy...this doom and gloomer has morphed from a medical doctor into a lying politician before our eyes in the last 2 months.
