Trump: Stimulus Package is "Loaded to Save Corporations"

[egbertowillies]

Like with the tax cut scam, Trump constantly implies that the stimulus s mostly for the people. But here is what he told Fox News.

1. If the package passes as Pelosi and Schumer are saying, I think it helps both.

That’s fine with me.

[OhNo-Really]

2. $2 Trillion campaign donation to Trump 🙄

3. OK, call up Democrats and tell them to vote against it.

Tell them don’t want stimulus checks sent to individuals, or expanded unemployment coverage.

5. No problem with that -- as long as there are strings

My one a nd only problem with bailing out corporations is that the money has, historically, gone to the people at the top, to bonuses for executives, for perks and emoluments and shareholder dividends. If we (you and I) give our money to the corporations, it has to go with strings, to make sure that it prevents, not encourages, mass layoffs, for example, to make sure that the workers who are being seriously impacted by the plague are assisted with continued pay and, especially, health insurance. And to guarantee that no bonus money come out of it. There are other restrictions and things I'd like added to the bill, but I'll settle at the very least, for those.

If any of the bailout money is used to feather the nests of the wealthy, including the heavy-duty shareholders, I will be more than angry.

4. I suspect the Dems will cave and give Trump what he wants. From what I hear working people will get

250B, small business 250B, a 500B fund that munchkin can spend with oversight by IG - sounds like a cave to me. Once again the GOP wins.
