Money does not help unite the country. Money comes and goes. It is people that help to build bridges and fill the gaps of a broken country. Just knowing that people care. Money isa placement to help us get there.

dgarg1111 Mr Ruby is on Trumps Payrole...can't expect any honesty from him.

Pretty sure I've heard this number before. I justtt can't place where. 🤔

This is some kind of trap. Tread cautiously!

5k is the new number !

Great that more and more Republicans GOP are getting on board with the $2,000 stimulus checks proposal... And let’s not forget this was proposed by President Trump...

When he’s not participating in sedition...

Check out page 1098 of the Covid relief bill. 😡

This POS 🙄

If Biden flakes on his first promise to the American People, idk. Not good

IT SHOULD BE $5000 EVERY OTHER MONTH AS COVID ISNT FREEING ANYONE, ITS HOLDING HOSTAGES!

Lol. And we’re supposed to pay for this how exactly! All this will do is pump mrkts and make the rich richer.. oh wait, this is CNBC and a crooked politician talking about helping the “little guy”! Lol. Pump it

A.What’s the chances they can pass this bill with no other attachments? B. How does sending out 2000.00 checks unite the country?

grandpa unites the stepkids by handing out money

Don’t kiss Trump’s ass anymore? Biden won’t give you a shit.

Not if favor of anymore stimulus checks. They will become like heroin!

All JoeBiden SpeakerPelosi and SenSchumer care about is sticking it to Trump. They lied about stimulus 'the first day' just to win the Senate. We will get nothing but hate and big talk from the Dems now. We need a bigger stimulusbill

nothing like bribery to cheer up the mood

a 2k loli pop for the little enslaved children ... FOH

Typical Rep throw money at them

Biden said it before him. These people really think people are stupid. Just wish they weren't right.
