"We don't want people losing their jobs or not having money to live, when they were doing very well just four weeks ago," Trump said at a press conference Tuesday."So we're going big, and that's the way it'll be."While the President had been pushing a payroll tax cut, he's now come around to the idea of sending checks to Americans as part of a massive economic stabilization package.
Mitt Romney of Utah unveiled a $1,000 payment proposal on Monday, while Michael Strain, director of economic policy studies at the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute tweeted that the administration is"absolutely right to get people cash --- and to get it to them in the next week, if possible."Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, now a CNN political commentator, made $1,000 monthly basic income payments a central part of his campaign, which ended last month.
I’m just sick and tired of all the negatives that CNN comes out with. Everything that our government is trying to do to help (good or not) is more than these so called journalists bring to the table. just seating behind a desk to complain, complain and complain does nothing.
Trump is awesome! Dealing with the virus problem in a very presidential, novel way.
Although the simulus is a good idea, Trump's methodology is it's buying votes..
I remember $400, but thought that was during Obama’s presidency. Either way, idk how sending that small sum helps. No, you can’t have mine. I already committed to giving half away to a nice gentleman on Twitter.
Who cares? Run me that check. And if you don't want yours, I can give you my cashapp
and we all know the results
Oh cmon cnn , you can do better than this . Ca'nt you ?
What? My parents never got a check? We (family of 5) ended up losing the home we were renting and sleeping out of my dads rusted suburban. Fortunately we were able to fit a queen size bed back there. Had to sleep in shifts. Eh. Being a kid, it just felt like we were camping.
It’s a gimmick
Really Never got mine! 🤨
Obamas first time home buyer program got me into a home I still own today 🤩
Republicans are good at bribing.
Wow CNN...You really are reporting this? You get sadder everyday.
It's always the Republicans after fucking up everything
Where does themoney come from?
Thanks Trump. We need your leadership. Democrats just point Fingers. Came late to this effort while impeaching. Open borders Democrats.
Yup. And he’s also not the first Republican president in my lifetime that needs to send them due to gross incompetence.
...AT LEAST TRUMP IS NOT SENDING A PLANE LOAD OF CASH TO TERRORISTS IN IRAN LIKE OBAMA DID... .
Trump is trying to buy his re-election.
So it’s good? Bad? Not sure what you’re saying. Oh meaning you hate Trump. Got it.
Yeah, that $40 sure saved my family of 5...not
I never received mine and never had to pay tax for it
I’ll give Bush that. Those 2 checks came through like a mug😁
Without a hint of irony, MAGA-trons will tell you that Bernie Sanders is an evil socialist, but also that this is a brilliant idea by Trump.
ChinaVirus
Never did me or my family get Check
Be safe. When we find out if you can contract the Cor-Vid-19 Virus and no longer be infected after the infection is done. I'd like to know. We'll look,s like Great Britain is going to let their people get the virus so they can let the virus burn it,s self out.
F-Trump And I’m a Republican who voted for the ass....
It was just a prepayment of tax return.
I don’t remember getting a check
There,s no such thing as Real American,s. Being born in America had nothing to do with being American. It,s all about Freedom and the responsibility used when using the 1rst Amendment. China can be American. Same with all others. Sorry I'm rambling again.
Any of you NotMyPresident libs had better donate your checks or send them back.
Let's stop for once trying to eat from each other and shut the country before is too late. Our lives are more important than the economy. 😷
U R fake news
SenJohnson mayorkenmoore JohnCooper4Nash SenatorGilmore GovBillLee Why R isolated high-risk individuals family members forced 2 work?Not allow time away in the EFMLEA like the FMLA! U R killing people with ur light&lack of action allowing non essential businesses to be open!
Nah, Obama sent out checks of about 50$ to each person.
No pay two months trump did nothing till stocks started to drop 2000 a month should help
Ya I won't see the $1000 dollar check from my Government They will tell me I'm over Income with my $900 dollar Each month. It,s ok. I was recertifying my Medicad and a Muslim lady with a bad attitude was giving a DSHS worker a hard time. And she couldn't speak English. It get old
So what he’s going to do it.
It is truly pathetic this administration believe the money will be a stimulus- the money will be survival money. The money will not be used to keep the economy alive - it will be to pay for rent-mortgages- if they don’t lose their house- food & medicine & huge medical bills.
Did it help in 2001 and 2008? When the whole structure is falling apart, one splinter does no good.
Yeah, and then we basically had to pay it back...
Trump didn't say it was. Such a garbage, misleading headline.
I think we should wait before we criticize period. We’ve got so much dread right now. Please be positive
What the hell is a check going to do? It's a short term solution. In a month or less that $1000 will be gone Then what?
Yet u didn't criticize obama after thousands died from h1n1. Careful CNN, u already look like fools
No cnn not a novel idea but a decision made by a hands on President who cares about his people and his country. As a media component you might try that yourselves sometime.
