Some Guy Dressed Up Like Steve Mnuchin Is Going To Send You Free Money ‘I Mean Now’
At the risk of ascribing too much in the way of empathy to an administration that's famous for its credibility deficit, Donald Trump and Steve Mnuchin sounded some semblance of convincing during Tuesday's coronavirus press briefing, during which the two men expressed what counts as "sympathy" for a nation in crisis.

Black Hawk Down!
I am doubtful there is a good mechanism to distribute money in two weeks. If everybody got a check at the same time, it would cause chaos at bank branches.

Why only a $1000? These half measures make no sense.

So lets take on the debt now and we can prevent spending money on useless wars for at least another decade!
