Depending on the states. Why should a taxpayer in TX pay for someone in NJ because that state chose to be more restrictive? You're punishing those who had nothing to do with the shutdowns. But thats fine, why not just give the cash directly to the people? Why hide it in pork and other crap?Those shut downs were due to covid, they are covid related.None of that is due to COVID but due to economic shut downs. Those are not nationwide but differ state to state. Why not just give each person their full amount vs. $1.4K? Would that not be simpler and more direct? Instead we each took $5+k of debt for $1.4k of monies that eligible participants received.Where is the extension on unemployment benefit costs on your chart?So you cannot dispute the math but lash out like a petulant child? Got it. Feel free to do the same math for Trump's bills and we can debate it.Trumpkins lived that stuff when Donald was in office. So no one really cares what you thinkYou cannot get any dumber. Honestly...approx 300mil people will receive $1,400 but will owe $5,839 for the $1,400....LOL
Math is as follows: $422bil of the stimulus is the $1,400 per person so that results in ~301.5 mil people getting it. Now the entire Bill is $1.927Trn...divide that by the entire population (330 mil) and you get $5,839 per person. So we all took $5,839 of debt to give most $1,400....?
So, if someone came up to you on the street and offered you $1,400 for $5,839 of debt, would you take it? LOL. NO!!! But that is precisely what happened. If the Democrats (this was a partisan bill) truly wanted to help the common man why not give the full $1.927Trn to each eligible person instead or $6,393 vs. $1,400? Down up economics always work better than trickle down economics. Instead we have all this bullshit pork in there.

What's in the $1.9 Trillion House COVID Relief Bill? | Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
2021-02-18-The House of Representatives is currently in the process of considering the next COVID relief bill. Nine of the 12 House committees have approved legislation.www.crfb.org
They claim it is a "COVID" bill but only ~10% is:
COBRA 8Paid leave 0.4School lunch 7Testing/Tracing 50Public Health Workforce 19Funeral Expenses 47Distribution 10Restaurants and Bars 25EIDL 15PPP 7Animal 1Total COVID $ 189 Total Bill $ 1,927 9.83%
So why not call it the Bill for the people and actually give the money to the people? Instead we gave people more debt LOL. So stupid. I bet people would appreciate $6.4k more than $1.4k and that would truly help the economy and the people but the Democrats didn't want to help the people...just its voting base.
Or the expansion of Obama care for those laid off?
Or the $300 extra a week for those who were laid off and collecting UE?
Or the $10000 write off of UE benefits for 2020?
You've missed a bunch of things....
