where tf is the "Stimulus"...?

[FirstLight]

Are they gonna pass the damn thing or are we just fucked?


(I dont have cable so I have not been clued-in on the news...)

BUT damn... we needed this handled like MONTHS AGO!

1. it has passed the house.

its now waiting for a final vote in senate. likely this week or next.

[FirstLight]

4. yeah, I looked it up and saw something in the NYT

Im just tired of struggling!

[SoonerPride]

2. It goes to the senate next week

[Ocelot II]

3. It was passed by the House, now on its way to the Senate.

Dems want it passed by 3/14 because that's when federal unemployment benefits expire. GOPers won't cooperate so it will probably be 50-50 in the Senate with the tie broken by Harris.

5. I mean, while you don't have cable, you do have the internet...

15. Was thinking the same thing.

If I har to go to cable/tv for information I fel like I would be woefully under-informed

[FirstLight]

6. ok yeah, I looked it up

sorry but I hadn't seen anything about it here on DU

[Ocelot II]

8. It was all over DU when the House bill passed the other night.

[LakeArenal]

11. Yea. It passed in the middle of the night.

The next morning I had to look around and finally saw it on Fux.

[Autumn]

7. It passed in the House, now we wait for the Senate. The urgency is almost palatable.

At least it is for the people who need it.

[FirstLight]

9. yeah, that's exactly where I'm at!

this is freaking ridiculous... sometimes I feel like govt moves WAY to slow!

[Demsrule86]

21. We were delayed as we tried to put the minimum wage in the bill...waited for the parlimentarian.

But now it should move quickly.

[StClone]

10. It may be found with a little more patience I trust.

Not to be callous or flippant. It seems to be headed your way.

[Victor_c3]

12. I hear you, I really could use that money too n/t

[Budi]

13. Per Speaker Pelosi, when it passes the Senate the cks will be sent out asap...

Checks should be received between the 15th & end of March.
It's all up to the Senate at this point.

I think the odds of it passing the Senate a far better now that the $15 minimum has been pulled.
They never had the votes for that & it put the entire budget package at risk.
So I'm ok with finding another way to do the $15 minimum, & get the $1400 out to people asap.

14. Checks ?

like in the mail ??
😐

fuuuuuuuk...

✌🏻

[Budi]

16. Checks, debit card, direct deposit...whatever you got last time

I have no idea how to change your personal choice of pmt from last time.

I spose there's a gov website to do so.

[Johnny2X2X]

17. It was always going to take this long

This is as fast as it can go for this process.

[walkingman]

18. It will happen. The sad thing to me is that the QOP doesn't seem to be taking any heat...yet

for opposing it. The same old story - they cannot stand to think that Dems will get credit for anything. the longer this seemingly endless mess goes on the more I despise anyone on the other side. I am to the point that I think we should do whatever it take and forget about this one sided "unity" mess. It is getting uglier and uglier as time goes on.

I really do fear for our Democracy - not sure how long this can continue.

19. +1000

I agree... Truly sad that the polarity has come to this. So much damage to everyone for the selfishness of their ideology ...
