It's not really a Stimulus Bill

It's more like an Anti-Zombies bill.

This one is more of a relief bill.

A stimulus bill will come later, presumably focused in infrastructure. (I was astonished to hear that ASCE upgraded the nation's bridges to C- from the previous D+)

The trick will be actually turning it into concrete and steel and not letting it get vacuumed up by giant corporations that would give it to their executives and stockholders.
“This isn’t the same Trump that got elected in 2016, he’s worse.”
“Something snapped in this guy — for real — when he lost in 2020,” Biden said, suggesting the former president was “unhinged” and was the driving force behind a mob of his supporters overrunning the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021."
“He can’t accept the fact that he lost, it’s literally driving him crazy,” Biden said.
He added that the former president “wants to terminate the Constitution” and “says if he loses there will be a bloodbath in America.”
“What kind of man is this?”  Biden asked. — June 3, 2024

i thought it was what governments were best at, taking peoples money and injecting it into the pocket of large corporation shareholders? not what they are meant to be doing?

Over the past couple of decades, I have stopped respecting people who habitually substitute smart-ass wisecracks and cynical hyperbole for realistic dialogue.

I have wasted too much time interacting with them and gaining little or nothing from it.

I just realized the stimulus checks are basically an apology for handling the virus so poorly. It's not that people need it because of the pandemic, but because of the USA's response to it.
