While stiffing the unemployed, and the middle class and poor and seniors with an insulting $1200 one time direct check. Nancy passed $2,000 a month direct stimulus checks, and trump and the GOP refuse to do that. Trickle down is just another way to transfer wealth, not for a recovery. How many trillions has trump gotten printed up to protect the wealthy in the stock markets? Who'll pay for that, we will be stuck with that.
