Hey Congress! We need a damned stimulus check!

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by JudyM (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

Listen up and listen good. We are mad as hell and our representatives are giving away bank to business and what is left over is being given to the working class. Who do you think runs this damned economy? We the people who struggle day to day to pay our bill during these hard times.

We are being asked to sacrifice our health and safety by forcing us out in the work place during a pandemic! Grocery store workers, restaurant workers, healthcare worker, workers, workers, workers!

Yeah, thanks for the little bit you tossed our way, the little crumbs left over after you once again bailed out business.

Merry fucking Christmas.

This is all we get from Congress. Both sides. It is a bipartisan bill.

Lunabell, right there with you on this, but could you post it in GD instead? It was alerted on for being in the wrong forum. Here’s the SOP for the Lounge, FYI:

Our social forum. Relax with your friends and talk about off-topic stuff. The Lounge is supposed to be a friendly, welcoming place for everyone. No cliquish behavior. No drama. No political arguments. No whining about DU.
