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.
"The old Republican Party was a stool with three legs: social conservatism, economic conservatism and national security conservatism.
So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man.

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.
