It was suggested it would be a far better investment in We The People right now.
Many cannot easily go out and safely shop for groceries these days and cannot afford to have them delivered to where they are located.
If they wanted to HELP the American people, they could START by sending everyone a check for $2500.00 so they can have food and the necessary supplies required to their residence.
I realize in this tax cuts for the rich only environment that this is asking for a lot, but just think of all the lives and money that can be saved.
That is the problem. The idiots in charge do not think. All they care about is the stock market and how much money they can manage to suck out of it.
On a bad day, it fails badly as it did today. It will continue to happen due to the corruption we are witnessing.
Why continue to take risks with the citizen's money?
Why not send everyone $2500 to get them through immediately?

(20,878 posts)The ICU is not cheap.
I was in one for abt. a week; hospitalized for 2 weeks.
The cost was $750,000.00+.
If they seriously care to save money, this is what they will do.
However, betting on the stupid is a bad bet!

(12,480 posts)wouldn't send those checks to help out disabled,homeless or non worker folks. He and his ilk hates people like me.
Trump wants us all to die I think.
Regardless, I could sure use that 2,500 check to buy food and a few things like a working thermometer, a mask or two,flu medicine,Xtra meds groceries and diabetic stuff ,cat foods and other stuff along those lines that to prepare if I have to quarantine myself. Maybe I could help my equally poor friends and neighbors down the line. Maybe prepay rent and electric ahead so I don't have to go out for money orders under quarentine .
I dunno if I can last 14 days without
additional supplies if it is at the wrong time of the month. I get groceries once a month. Since I can't afford to add to what I have already, after all I regularly get and pay every month . I be broke except for meds money.
By mid month my money has been spent. This is why disability and social security are the financial backbone of America. We spend everything we get to survive.
