Mark Cuban: Every household in America should receive a $1,000 stimulus check every 2 weeks for the

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

next 2 months

With around 13 million Americans unemployed and thousands of businesses permanently closed across the U.S., experts warn that more stimulus will be needed for economic recovery amid the ongoing pandemic.

However, Congress is at an impasse, and it looks unlikely that a deal on another stimulus package will happen any time soon. But “we need it as much now as we did back then,” at the start of the pandemic, Mark Cuban, self-made billionaire, investor on ABC’s “Shark Tank” and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, tells CNBC Make It.

Cuban says there are “two economies,” or two sets of realities, right now: One for those able to stay afloat and one for those unable to. “Those without [help] are struggling badly,” he says. “We need to get them help.”

To provide that help, Cuban supports more stimulus checks being dispersed, he says.

There you go again. Sounding like a Socialist.

1. Mark Cuban perfect Ted Cruz replacement

With Beto for Gov.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

2. Is that a real possibility? Has Cuban talked about running?

[JI7]

18. Sounds good to me but I think Beto would be better for Senate

and Cuban for Governor.

[OnDoutside]

25. Yeah, I'm not sure Cuban would fancy being in Washington all the time ?

[JCMach1]

27. He has been pretty transparent he is interested in politics

[Mr.Bill]

3. I think he should lead by example

and send me $1,000 dollars every two weeks for two months.

[helpisontheway]

11. Yeah, we will volunteer to be the test family..😂🤣😂🤣nt

[Voltaire2]

4. UBI. NT.

[Codeine]

17. This. A thousand times this. nt

[JI7]

20. If we are going to get UBI , it would probably have to start in this way

Something that starts off as temporary.

Also the amount decreases for people who make above certain amounts.

[Sherman A1]

5. Absolutely correct!

I completely agree.

[Trumpocalypse]

8. FYI

[Illumination]

6. Our impeached so called "pres." has no problem doling out large sums of $ to businesses,

corporations, the wealthy, etc. Mark Cuban is right!...

[Pepsidog]

7. He is right. But after Biden wins all we are going to hear is the deficit. But who cares, without

the filibuster let the good times roll.

[Celerity]

23. Even if we flip 7 or 8 seats, the votes are not there atm to end the filibuster

and it's even less likely that we expand the SCOTUS.

It's the price we pay for having so many centrist and/or bi-partisan yearning milquetoast members. The sect that loves these types on here will probably agree with them and give a bunch of divvy rationilisations why we need to keep the filibuster and never expand the court.

9. He's right about the

two economies. And that has been a problem for quite some time.

[Takket]

10. as long as its funded by some sort of wealth tax to pay for it, i'm all for that......

there are trillions of dollars just wasting away collecting interest for the 1% that years of bush and drumpf tax cuts have redistributed wealth for the top...... go get them.

$1000 biweekly for two months is about $5000 per household x 130 million households = $650 billion. a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the amount of wealthy given to the 1%.

[yaesu]

12. every wall street bankster gets an equivalent of that every second via fed stock and junk bond

purchases (about 9 trillion so far) so 1k biweekly is the least they could do.

[bucolic_frolic]

13. I think we should plan on a partial lockdown and shrinking economy

We're at least 9 months from a vaccine, our cases are growing, winter's coming on. Bleak times ahead. Joe Biden will change the mood and have a plan, but it's going to be a long improvement in my opinion.

[flibbitygiblets]

22. afraid this seems to be true

[softydog88]

14. He's on the right track, but...

it needs to be retroactive to make up for all the political bullshit going on, especially this sham of a confirmation hearing.

[roamer65]

15. Fund it with a top marginal tax rate of 60 percent.

16. Canada

Was giving their people a monthly stimulus.


"Canada announced plans that include disbursing $2,000 stimulus payments and the U.S. included $1,200 stimulus checks as part of the CARES Act."




"The U.S. and Canadian stimulus payments don’t cover equivalent time periods. While the U.S. legislation calls for a single stimulus check to be sent to individuals, Canada’s will pay individuals for the next four months."

[former9thward]

26. The article points out the U.S. program was far more generous.

The Canadian program did not give to everyone, the U.S. did. U.S. gave $10,800 to those affected by CV-19, Canada gave $5,600.

[Dopers_Greed]

19. Totally agreed

But it should be funded by a massive tax on the companies that have done the best during the pandemic.

Most of this money will go back to them up anyway.

[Heartstrings]

21. Cuban has been pretty quiet...

About time we hear from him!

[Beartracks]

24. Mitch and the Republicans seem to think no stimulus payouts means no more costs.

But there are no such "free lunch" options for getting through the pandemic. There's very expensive, or way more hugely expensive.
