The Senate Minority Leader also predicted that Senate Democrats will unite and pass Biden's $1.9 trillion bill soon.

with a price tag of $500 billion. McConnell's proposal did not include any stimulus check for Americans.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell holds a press conference following the Senate GOP policy luncheon in the Rayburn Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill on March 2, 2021.Biden and Democratic leaders on Wednesday agreed to lower the income threshold for the third stimulus check of $1,400 after moderates in the party including SenatorUnder the agreement, individuals earning under $75,000 and couples earning less than $150,000 will still be entitled to the full amount.

Democrats have paved the way to push through the measure without GOP support by using reconciliation. The budget process only requires a simple majority, but with the Senate split evenly, all Democrats in the upper chamber would need to vote unanimously for the bill in order for Vice President

Better left unsaid...

Feh! If they gave me $1,400,000 I still would keep working to improve my retirement fund and for the health insurance. MoscowMitch is being disingenuous or has no clue about his constituents' day-to-day lives.

McConnell accidentally proving that he is in fact an undead ghoul from the 1700s.

Does he know how much money it takes 'not to work?' With rent, utilities, health insurance, gas, car payments, car insurance, food, prescriptions... I would need $10,000 net per month to be even tempted not to work. Even then, I'd probably just go find a better job for kicks.

Who can stop working for less than one month's rent This is NOT a bail out, like they did for the lazy, thieving leisure class. This is merely a tiny helping hand.

This reactionary talking point has been debunked and there was NEVER any evidence supporting it. Stop parroting these politicians who think we're idiots and are looking for any excuse not to help working people. StopSpreadingLies TYTArmy

A monster on the outside, still a dick on the inside.

Mitch didn’t stop working in congress once he married his wife Elaine, whose father is a shipping magnate even tho the couple has millions & millions of dollars. I’m not retiring tomorrow at 36 on five $1400 checks for my family. That’s five mortgage payments at best! TYTArmy

McConnell is gaslighting again! His statement has no basis. As journalists, should be challenging statements like this w/ facts. Journalists are to hold gov accountable, NOT act as stenographers by regurgitating statements that can easily be debunked! You can do better!

If people didn’t stop working for an extra $600/wk in unemployment early in the pandemic but rather job availability was the key factor. One time $1,400 checks for a majority of people behind on bills certainly won’t! TYTArmy

$1,400 does not cover even rent in most states, let alone have people thinking they can stop working because of ONE measly check.

Does McConnell work? His main purpose since 2009 has to not bring any legislation, except Judges, to the Senate floor - he has not brought legislation to the floor that would benefit his constituents and the people of the US. So is he working or not? His interest’s or ours?

Does this mope have any idea how little $1400 actually is...

JayDubcity16 I now Democrats are not prefect in any right, but any Republicans are looking so stupid now, it's just sad, if you're a republican tell me why you're so stupid lol, but seriously Republicans are holding everything back right now

Stop working? For what, a week?

Wow and here we are saving for years to retire! Who knew 1400 dollars was all that was needed to stop working!

Hey Mitchy, what about the companies that got money from your bailout? Did that get people back to work? Probably not, because the money stayed in the owners pocket. Like Tom Brady, Jared Kushner, your wife, etc.... Never heard a word from you.

I know so many people who are just $1400 away from financial independence and retirement

Only a rich person would imagine such a thing. $1,400 is about a monthly mortgage payment. Imagine postponing financial ruin for just one month. What sort of moron would think *that* would lead people to stop working? Moscow Mitch seems out of touch. GOPHypocrisy VoteBlueIn22

We are literally corporate slaves to these ghouls.

Does he know half the population in KY are unemployed ?LeaderMcConnell

Sorry but who the ef could stop working if they get a check for 1400. Only rich elites who don’t have to live at poverty level says this meanwhile senate just got a raise that comes close to 15 an hour

And? So?

$1400 is not even one pay check for me. What the hell planet does this ass live on that he thinks we are all quitting our jobs for this?

Apparently LeaderMcConnell thinks people are gonna quit their jobs with one month’s rent... fuc that guy.

that McConnell thinks a $1400 check will convince people to stay at home instead of working really does show just how detached from reality - and his constituents - he really is...

LOL & newsweek thinks that this opinion qualifies as 'news'? LOL this old white man with extraordinary wealth LIES about 'retiring on $1400' & you publish this LIE knowing its a LIE perpetuating this LIE for your own Profit blatantly Immoral profiteering off a obvious LIE

After coming to DC he became a rich man. Does he still work?

Oh, that explains RUpublicans.

Idiot. Who’s going to stop working for 1 damn check?! Ridiculous

'Don't you give those slaves a taste of wealth, for their relief might give them time to think of scratching at our ivory towers.' EatTheRich

😂😂😂😂

$1400 is enough to retire on? Fuck you, Mitch

Due to 1 payment? Get real.

🤡

Yeah, that $1400 will go a long way for me in frivolous expenditures like rent, food, utilities, healthcare, taxes, oh and a Cancun vacation.

When that 1400 hits

Strange how corporate execs apparently won't stop working when they get huge tax bailouts.

Lazy people always project their laziness on others

He’s so out of touch. $1400 will buy people food for one or two months only.

This h/t RBReich

Yes! Now I can retire for a whole week.

In other words, Mitch supports withholding $ from people in the belief that faced between starvation and homelessness or working a minimum wage job doing something Mitch wants, people will 'choose' to do what Mitch wants, at the price Mitch's donors want.

NShrubs Speaking of people who don't want to work, Mitch McConnell only 'works' an average of 165 days a year and gets $193,400 plus benefits. Also, he is NEVER required to EVER come to work.

I oppose Washington legislators getting further increases & perks because they've already stopped working for the good of the people. I believe in term limits, paying into SS & their healthcare & definitely no pensions. They all can earn a living, supposedly, outside of politics.

Oh please!!!! $1400 will hardly make a dent in all the debt families have wracked up in a year!!!!! Shut the hell up Mitch💩💩🤡🤮😡🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

People who vote for .LeaderMcConnell can’t think for themselves. They’re the same sneaky bigots their grandparents were. BoycottBourbon scotch is better and now duty free.

Minority LeaderMcConnell, Exactly how is it your business what WTP do? Are you sharing all your business with us? 🌹The People are free 🌹to work or not work.🌹 You work against the People. Your power is corruption.

It’s a one time check? You can’t buy a reliable used car for $1,400

No one is retiring on $1400. Really, don’t they think before spouting these things?

McConnell only cares about power.

But he never was worry for the bailout and tax cut for the rich. Too much hypocrisy

Who is the last person you know to get 1,400$ and fuck off forever Hahaha this man has always been and always will be a joke.

All this time I have been dumping money into my 401k when really all I needed was $1,400.

He’s right, once I get that check it’s off to the islands for a life of leisure...🙄🥴

Well, it's time for him to retire then because he is losing his marbles! First, you can't live off $1,400. Second, that $1,400 for most people is already going to pay outstanding bills. Lastly, you can't get unemployment unless you get laid off! He should know all this...

When is the last time this ducking guy spoke to a poor person in KY? People want to work everywhere.

The lowest rent I paid in NYC was 1100 for a 3rd floor walk up with no closets and a roach infestation. That was 1995. 1400 dollars would now render me homeless if I was unemployed.

I wanna live in whatever fantasy world he is in

Bro i would have retired ten years ago if $1400 did the trick

I’m buying a Tesla

Lol. In what American city could one not be employed for longer than a month with 1400 USD?

Well... if by stop working he mains maybe take a vacation, then, yeah. How far does he think $1,400 goes?

He has lived in a parallel universe for WAY TOO LONG...

Has anyone asked him who he will oppress for greed and power after he kills all the poor and minorities? Because creatures like him don't stop.

The only people that have stopped working are the members of the Republican Party.

LeaderMcConnell has more money than most of us yet he keeps showing up to work for some God awful reason.

This mans wealth has increased 800% since 2005

KochNetwork

Well that's fuckin' stupid.

😂

Wtf does this 💩 know about working

He really has no clue

He's clearly insane.

He can’t be that dumb. He actually thinks someone can live on $1400 forever

MaryMary0414 Because they got two weeks pay ? They are going to stop trying to get a job because they got two weeks pay ?

No he doesn't. He just said that and you believed him because you're extremely gullible and won't follow up and research that the actual cost of living is way higher for a single fucking month. This is not a monthly stimulus, it doesn't even cover one month of the median rent.

Stupidest think ever heard of ...geesh

Lmfao. Not sure how the prices compare to Canada, but our rent alone costs more than that. What a turtle.

I don't think anyone who made it to his position can be this fucking stupid. $1400 isn't going to do jack shit for the people most in need of some type of emergency financial assistance. Maybe pay 1/3 of about six bills.

He needs to step down because his mind is stuck in whatever era be began serving in

You have to run for congress if you want to stop working 🙄

Where are the trumpies blaming biden at now 😂😂

Mothe fu...

I'm sorry but what's so wrong with stop working if you can live off a small check that the government provides?

This proves that 99% of the people in Congress never grew up poor and have never been poor. They have no idea how much a loaf of bread costs let alone rent and utilities for an apartment. The 1% that grew up poor or just had enough to not be poor are the ones fighting for us.

Everyone dies eventually.

Bitch is so old he thinks $1,400 is retirement money.

He looks like a necromancer is holding him together

$1,400 I'm retiring 😂 give me a break pal, that's not even enough to cover one month's rent

Are these people that disconnected from reality

It's funny because McConnell stopped working the second he started getting his fat paychecks from the American people.

Oh no... The stimulus passed and... My batteries... They're no longer working! Oh my god I might stop working!! Somebody please help! No more stimulus! *rolls eyes so far back into my skull that they fall out*

Tell LeaderMcConnell to raise the wage then. If people earning a living wage, they wouldn't want to not work. I would beg borrow or steal before I worked for someone to make 7.25/hr.

Who cares if we do. I'm taking my 1,400 and retiring early, suckers.

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

$1,400 will put you on Easy Street!

I'm using my $1,400 to buy a Yacht. 2 of them, with diamond embroidery and gold marquetry. I'm hiring a maid, buying a mansion, and bailing out America. Now where the fuck is my retirement stimulus?

no he doesn’t, come on.

McConnell and Chao’s corruption are what we should be talking about, not some ridiculous idea that a one time check for $1,400 will suddenly make people stop working. McConnell is pure evil, the epitome of disgusting GOP endless greed and corruption

JayDubcity16 Clearly he's out of touch and should be removed from office due to incompetence

Wow thats all i can say

I truly hate this man!

Employers might have to raise wages then.

Pissing on his grave will be a national holiday 💋

PAY people at least $15hr to work in this expensive country & people will work because $2200 a month is more than $1400

GOP wants to save corporations and rich. Control people under economic SLAVERY. While DEMS want to save ordinary people. Progress will always be gradual as GOP tries roadblocks and hindrances to serve their interests first.

Stupid as that logic is, if people find a way to retire on $1400 one-time payments, what's it to him?

Very dense take from The Smoking Man from The X Files.

Same energy

Gonna collect my $1,400 and retire

Sure! Set for life with $1,400 🙄 Do these people live in there real world!!🤯

Mitch McConnell net worth 💰💰

Mitch needs to be voted out , he is NOT for the people who voted him in .

Millionaire doesn't understand finances for middle and low income households. There, fixed your headline.

Mitch thinks this is 1921, not 2021

In a related story, LeaderMcConnell thinks it is 1821, not 2021.

Why is he so evil

Weird, he passed $1,800 worth of stimulus checks when Trump was president. Didn’t seem to worry about that back then.

$1,400 is nothing, less than a months bills for most. People would stop working because they would want to opt-out of a system that clearly doesn't give a shit about them.

I think it’s funny how someone in his condition can talk about us stop working. WE CANT! Because we wouldn’t be able to live. Smh. Can he stop working and still live the life he wants? 🙃

The modern-day Republican Party is the worst collection of bad-faith actors in human history. All gaslighting all the time. Fuck ‘em all.

So $1400 is going to put them on Easy Street 🤦🏻‍♀️

Pussy

That’s funny, how would people survive off that petty cash? It’s appreciated nonetheless but damn, stupid ass people in office.

I don’t think the Mitch McConnell understands what it’s like to be a person.

This person is out of touch and greedy. Wow what a waste of energy

AlanFisher

what a dick!

F this ghoul

Lol for real?!

Time for him to go away

How can he or anyone say ppl won't go back to work. The stimulus monies purposed is for bills rents car notes mortgages food utilities, etc. Shame on you! Shame on you!

Bitch, we're unemployed.

😳🙄

Sheesh

He is so out of touch what is wrong with you Kentucky

$1400.00 to stop working? Doesn’t he know that doesn’t even cover most people’s rent?! He is so out of touch.

He would know, he barely works

Lol yes. 1400. Let me quit my job because you can pay for one month of rent. Not even enough for my other bills, JUST the rent. Yup. Totally gonna quit.

Show us how, LeaderMcConnell. (Please) quit your job and show us how to live on a 1-time $1400 check. I’d love to know.

Why are we talking to turtles?

I, for one, would absolutely retire if I got a one time lump sum $1,400.

Stop working for 1 1400.00 check? And no medical benefits? Where does he think people live? He needs a reality CHECK

This is the dumbest headline ever. 🤦‍♂️ GOPHypocrisy

yeah man, that whopping $1400 is gonna set me up for LIFE. Never have to work a day in my life again if only I can get that $1400. Mitch is on crack.

He is beyond repair

He should know... he scored free government money and stopped working years ago.

Eat hot diarrhea you botched turtle abortion looking butthead.

Can we give him 1400 and pray he stops working?

Bring out the guillotine.

Okay, I have an idea. Give Mitch McConnell $1,400 and see how long he can live off of it.

I don't know about you but 1400 Out her does cover much Not even a whole month of bills

That's are food bill Maybe squeeze sdge Don't forget zoom need cable Water bill is up

I think he needs to lower his paycheck To under 70,000 And live like us for a week Grocery are double to triple Net you have to have electric is up gas is up Its not alot of money By the time you pay down basics

Here we go again with the GOP’S favorite line: if you are poor, struggling, cannot afford medicines and food, lost your job, have to work 2 jobs to make ends meet, it is because you are lazy according to Repubs

Over 1400$ !?

God I hope he loses his next election.

Right, because 1,400 will support us for the rest of our lives.

We can only hope he stopsworking

*admission of suffering the people

He’s right because $1,400 means you’re rich for the next 5 years and can pay your rent or mortgage with it.

these old bastards in DC are so removed from reality no wonder our government is so broken and corrupt

That bum never worked a day in his useless life

Boo. Stimulus. Not forever.

Hahaha what an idiot...

🤦‍♀️ I have bills I need to catch up on... $1,400 isn't enough to sway someone to quit working

“Hello Poors!”

Its not that we want to stop working I worked for a casino for 21years I have no useful skills anymore at the age of 45 I was laid off mostly due to the border closing. I am trying to avoid bankruptcy and lossing my home and all of my possessions.

Seriously 🤣 Mitch McConnell. What ignorant statement

How ignorant is that man to think that $1400 is going to stop people from working. $1400 ain’t shit. $1400 is bills that’s a month of rent for some people. Ridiculous

Maybe in your state they could afford to, Mitch! Not everybody pays $300 a month rent!

You probably are not wrong, but do all recipients act the same way? Workers are laid off, this means employers themselves are struggling. Senator, try coming out from your comfort zone just to appease struggling Americans. America can’t digest your Republican thing any more.

Can we cancel his pay?

🤪🤣 what world does he live in?!

After I fix the freeze plug in my truck that blew during the Texas Freeze and Catch Up on my Electricity Costs I might be able to get a Dozen Egg's and a Loaf of Bread, Then I'll think about Retirement. Oh and I still have a Prescription ready that I'll need money for, No Egg's

Fuck MoscowMitch $1400 is really gonna make me quit my job and sit on my ass let me tell you

What? For how long?

$1400 and Retire in California on a Street Corner in a Tent. Livin' The Life. whatanidiot

He thinks?... I seriously doubt that... Mindless Mitch hasn’t thought about anything but ways to write off martini lunches.. well ok, he also thinks about himself... but the rest of us hear him humming “if I only had a brain, dum dee dum dee dum dee dum 😷

Why is this turtle still in control of anything? How are we still letting this old man speak?

Yeah ..... who ever quit working after winning the $1400 Lotto?

That's after he and his wife have graced themselves with the spoils of their positions. Good grief - time for McConnell to go. Best part is he no longer is in charge of Senate!

This fro a man who “works” so hard.

How stupid! This money would end up probably paying bills, rent or mortgage and food. How would this put people on easy street to quit working Mitch?

How much are we paying him again

that word...think.

Elections have consequences turtle get on board or get left behind

LeaderMcConnell we are waiting for you to go to work. You’ve been on welfare far too long. MitchNeedsAJob

How did we end up with people like this making decisions for us?

Or Maybe McConnell could start working?

He hasn’t worked in decades.

McConnell and his wife have so much money, that they don’t even know what $1,400 is. He makes more than that in a day, just from his investment incomes.

If he thinks that $1,400 is enough to quit your job and live off of then why doesn't he try it?

He really just says things that have no meaning

Mitch is so old and out of touch, he probably thinks we'll spend it all on nickel sodas and Penny candy!!!

Dummy

for 1400.00 How poor does he think people are? That's flip a coin money. Heads I pay a few bills, tails I eat!! Phucc Mitchbitch! StimulusCheck MitchMcConnell

That has got to be the dumbest thing moscow mitch has ever said. It proves how out of touch with working Americans. He thinks people can live on $1400.00. That won't cover my bills for a month.

🤦‍♀️

Moron‼️

SNOB

Its gonna take a lot more then 1400 dollars for people to stop working. Mr. McConnell is definitely out of touch with people. I'm sure his constituents in those poor districts of Kentucky will be very thankful for this check.

How does that makes sense ?

from Walt Schaub-- McConnell management of gross corruption

Why is money a stimulus for rich people and a disincentive for poor people?

Is this stimulus payment of ³$1,400 another one-time payment This is to help the American workers get back on their feet by restoring their cars, homes, businesses, etc.? What would the attitude of the rich be if they didn't know where their next dollar was coming from

Gollum. His name is Gollum Heartless, Cruel and a double-dealer. He needs to crawl back under his rock, My Preciousssss... HalSparks

He is certainly totally insane

Rubbish

100%

He is so out of touch it’s sad

How they gonna stop working with just 1400 it’s 14 hundred not 14 million

McConnell must think ..what he does working especially for the last four years .. and he still gets a paycheck he hasn’t have much faith in the American people.. 1400 helps but it’s not sustainable

Mitch McConnell are you a white supremacy or just stupid?

Anyone who thinks this is a freaking moron!

Why dont you give some of your millions to the peoples so they can paid off some bills

$1,400 in crumbs, is to bribe Americans, into, excepting the entire Bill, which is non- Corona. Why the Democrats, who own all 3 houses, can’t vote in separate Bills, for non- Corona Special interest projects? Appears there hi-jacking the stimulus bill, with donor interest .

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE millionaire

Why isn’t the other 90 percent of what the money is going to be used for, like for example 400 billion can be used for abortions. Special interest groups projects in Silicon Valley and in washing money in Schumer district?

Term limits no more then 8years For no one.

These ghouls really have no idea what real life is like.

Stop working?!! So many still haven't started back yet!! The government cares about power, money, special interests and getting reelected..never people😐

IDIOT

Yeh people would just retire and play golf all day on those big bucks

Are you sure about that? The majority of Americans do not have the privileges that you have like working when you want, the hours you want, give raises when needed, vacation when needed, not to work any holiday and so much more. You are ludicrous.

Take a close look. He is not in his right mind.

Ah yes, who among us hasn’t been struggling with the decision to never work again once that $1,400 deposit hits their account.

He’s stupid to think that. Evidently he’s lost touch with the working class. Does he think $1400 will make us rich? We need poor working class people to become GOP senators. They’ll understand our struggle, know what it’s like to be tired, knows how hard it is to stretch a dollar

No, I don't think so but this could help the economy and spending. Please don't judge when you're in the high bracket income. There are millions still struggling in the country !!!!!

Lol 1,400 is going to make someone stop working ... seriously WTF kind of BS is that

What’s in his coffee ☕️?

As in Canada with the PCU

Well Congress stopped working and they still get paid

Oh like in half the counties in Kentucky.

Totally out of touch with working people. He has a plantation mentality.

Seriously, stimulus is another long drawn out stupid game!! WHO CARES? We are over it- keep it and just shut up!!

Tell him it 1400 not 14 million.

People can both pay down mounting debt with the $1400 and return to work. It not that much money.

So McC thinks the money actually would get to the people? 🙄

Mitch, you have no clue. That barely covers car payment, utilities and a couple gallons of milk. 😕

He's right, they should open the economy instead of printing tons of money

Shit I’ve applied to 12 jobs in the last 2 weeks. Nothing. He can shut his mouth!

LeslieLeslie430 He never started.

That’s silly.

A &1400 check is not an incentive to quit working unless you want to live in a car

Maybe back in the 1930’s

Republicans in the house and senate do no work and are collecting more than 1400

You have to start working before you can stop working.

How stupid can you get Mitch McConnell. You can't raise a family on 1400 a week these days

Apparently so out if touch with reality

He thinks...that's his problem.

I mean... you do know, some people get more back from their income tax check?

The American people need the $1,400 stimulus checks. If you don't want it, don't say anything. If you want it, say yes.

He's so out of touch with reality 😪

How DUMB or Just CALLOUS & UNCARING is McConnell!

McConnell seems to have a poor opinion of American citizens- they’re just lazy! You are not talking about most Americans.

For what, like two weeks?

When was the last time that Mitch McConnell had a job ?

what happened to his chin

People have already stopped working. This is to help in a small way to tide them over until they can START working. A little lettuce snack, if you will.

Yeah, $1,400 sure would entice me to retire 😂

He’s a heartless turtle.

Lol!

Oh absolutely. I’m going to retire comfortable now. Smh

Hes sold he forgot how much things cost now days forgive him .... he remembers 14 cents a gallon days ... you know ....

🤦🏾‍♂️

This idiot thinks people are going to stop working over $1400 So Mitch and his GOP friends don’t want to raise minimum wage but he thinks a large portion of the working class make so little that $1400 will set them free You’re telling on yourself Mitch.

People in the comments act like this is impossible

Could our representatives be anymore idiotic? Seriously as if $1400 had people set for life and ready to cash in their chips. Our representatives have surely lost sight of what $1400 means to a family of 4 making $30K a year. It means rent, utilities, food for months, medicine...

Truly a distorted and warped sense of reality! This is what's running the country, and why we are in dire straits for so long.

I will personally write Moscow Mitch a $1,400 check if he stops working (resigns).

Why, people can live with $1,400 till they die? Moronic thinking.

Old coot

He has over $23 million (not including his loaded wife), and makes a base salary of $174,900.00. Apparently he thinks $1,400 once is enough to make you stop wanting to function.

Shows how much he knows about anyone actually get $1400. Shit doesn’t go very far at all. At this point in the pandemic it won’t even get those who need it caught back up.

He should stop working

Stupid!!! $1400 is NOT enough for someone just to STOP working! I cannot eye roll this enough until I pass out!! 🙄

A soon as I get my $1,400 I’ll never work again and live in the lap of luxury for the rest of my time here on earth.. smdh

So they should with idiots like him in the senate.

Another elderly senator that should be retired. No Mitch, people need the 1,400 because their are no jobs.

in australia ppl have getting $1400 a fortnight for nearly a year. wtf are you doing, america?

Yeah $1400.00... they might just quit their job forever ...

Yep. That’s what I’m waiting for. $1400 and I am set. Jerk

He's crazy. No one will stop working for $1400.

I'm too angry right now to tell LeaderMcConnell and his criminal wife how I feel right now CovidReliefBill StimulusCheck unemployment COVID19

He looks like after he said that, he said yuk, yuk, yuk. What a goober.

As soon as I get my $1,400 I'm buying a second home. It's easy street time, baby.

Nobody is goning to stop working for $1,400.00 And if they do, last time I checked, this is a free country Mitch.

I can see he is out of touch with the working class.

I could retire with that kind of money

How crazy - he didn’t stop working once he got all those rubles, why would $1400 cause ppl to drop out of the work force

Yes, people will quit their jobs because one month of rent is paid.

Judging by the number of bills that sat on his desk when he was Majority Leader,it seems that Mitch is the one that stopped working.

He stopped working by being an obstructionist and WE the taxpayers still pay him.

Yes, LeaderMcConnell $2600 over twelve months is a definite incentive to not work. I mean, that's a small fortune! That's $50 a week!! Ima pay my mortgage, my insurance and buy my food with that. Hell, I'll probably have enough left over for that long awaited vacation!

Same energy in Brazil

Do we really care..no.

I was honestly considering retiring at 41 once I got my $1,400 dollar check.

Maybe he hasn't heard about this deadly pandemic… COVID19, I believe… but it'd be a really good idea to PAY PEOPLE TO STAY HOME until we get the virus under control…

Sweet. I can’t wait to get that $1400 so I can finally retire

But there are Americans like our family who do NOT need this money, while others do And more, scale it better. Americans NEED a decent minimum wage! Hurry before McConnell swallows his lips!

Um, only for common man

Stop working? It’s what most people make in 1-2 weeks.

🙄

Seriously? What motivated some people not to work was the supplemental unemployment funds of up to $600 a week. Many people legitimately needed it, but many others took advantage of the situation.

$34.1 million vs $1,400. Mitch versus working class American. OUT OF TOUCH!

I pay my people $5.25 an hour and you better believe I'm opposed to them getting stimulus checks. They'll fee rich. And they'll feel they have options. And that’s not good for my personal wealth.

This check should have been distributed months ago, and there should have been another one since then. It's ridiculous that they're still 'discussing' this small check.

Who's going to stop working for $ 1400?

Wonder how much work McConnell actually does! My. guess is very little...He has a great medical plan, all kinds of perks & unlimited time off!
