Student debt? Are you effing kidding me? Interest rates are below zero what the hell are they arguing about debt for? People will be dead

Guess they needed to hire the lobbyists for the big banks.

With money printers going brrrr and all that. Just cancel all student debt. Are we really arguing over $1.7 trillion as federal reserve is going unlimited QE and the stimulus bill is already over $2 trillion when taxes are going to be LOW this year.

No matter who writes this bill, not everyone will be 100% back to the way things were a few weeks ago. This is aimed at helping, if we get stuck aiming for perfection so many more people, businesses and sectors will sink. Pass this one + start working on the next, we need it now

Nothing for the poor- left to die Complete the sentence.. 'due to corona virus'. Let Americans have government buy their debt from banks. No payments until back at work at tremendously lower interest rate so people can dig out of expenses while out of work. Banks are fluid, Americans can breathe with hope for relief and Gov makes money when payments come in.

Tensions run high on Capitol Hill as Senate works to advance economic stimulusSenators are continuing to negotiate on a massive economic stimulus package, hoping a deal will soon come together after efforts to reach consensus were dealt a major blow over the weekend, even as coronavirus struck one of their own. No to the stimulus package, since we're borrowing the money from China for it. Disgraceful Democrats, Americans have had enough of the BS. Help Americans or resign immediately. Enough is enough. Democrats are waiting so they cause more people to lose their jobs and businesses. The worse it is the better for self serving democrats.
