Does it get you that all of the federal, state and local employees who are still getting paid and have health insurance will be getting a pay out?  
It has been nothing but a paid vacation except for police, fire and medical employees.

it just gets me because I have a lot of friends who are small business owners that are really hurting right now and getting no help.  In fact tried to help one yesterday with the SBA disaster loan website and it keep crashing.

    I would rather see them use the money to fix roads, bridges, and other public works you could employ the people out of work like they did in the depression instead of just handing out cash
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    I would like to see the government quit spending money we don't have.   Creating more unsecured dollars will only devalue the dollar making what we do have worth less.   Life happens sometimes, well it happened.  The old "who's going to pay for that?"   needs to be answered with "deal with it".   Lessons could be learned, instead everyone will get a participation trophy.

    Waste of good money. Dad was in CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps/Cross Country Cowboys) before he joined Army as a medic in WW2. He built roads, bridges and state parks for his pay. This new money kind of like carpet bombing, some find their mark some just a big empty expensive hole in the ground.

    The whole thing , no wait, we have no idea what the damn thing really contains but it will suck. The American people get screwed and the politicians will get rich. The more they reveal the more this thing stinks.

    Don't forget the teachers ... elementary, high school and universities.
    They won't lose a penny while sitting at home or on vacation someplace.

    Wife is not driving 50 mile rd trip a day. Is on computer 1.5 hour a day for students. She plays games on another computer till a question comes up from the online students. She will qualify for the 1200 free money. That will actually make her yearly salary right at 95k for 190 days of school. Some of those days are without students. Some money not counted she does for the district.

    They just robbed us responsible people like never before. The d-rats holding the money for people to further their d-rat agenda should be a reason to destroy the d-rat RICO gang by any legal means possible.

    And Pelosi rants on Trump for fiddling while Americans die, while it was HER that delayed the funding bill until it contained all the non-relative pork she wanted. And now, she and the rest of Congress are taking the next 2 weeks off!!! Sure, dump on Trump, the only person in government who is doing ANYTHING, while YOU take a 2-week vacation!  See you in November, Nancy.
