hey i remember when we did this in 2008. There was a huge economic meltdown, I just lost my job and was living out of my truck, and the Republican party wasnt looking like a real winner in the upcoming election. So it was decided that everyone gets a "stimulus check."
I got $700 from the Republican party...and it basically felt like $700 to keep my mouth shut about how Bush didnt care to find Osama Bin Laden. it was a few hundred and in return i was expected to stop complaining about how TARP bailed out big banks but left me living in a stale coffee scented Dodge Ram. I am a little bitter about the whole gesture but let me tell you what I spent that money on: credit card debt.
Now here we are in 2020 and the Republican party is looking at cutting checks for everyone again and I gotta wonder why. What is this really hoping to achieve? Write me a check and in return I stop complaining about how my health insurance doesnt cover a flu shot? or how the country has more prison beds than hospital beds? That basically everything the president promised he'd do he either ignored or buck-passed to Obama?
I dont want corona cash. I want an economy that doesnt shit the bed like clockwork every ten years and send me out looking for handyman jobs. Id like a healthcare system that doesnt include ambulance rides that are as expensive as a used car.
