I'm neither a democrat nor a republican, but in this situation we need to ensure that people are getting what they need, because this situation is serious. We should not be playing politics here, we shouldn't be adding in things with the bill that we want passed, that have nothing to do with actually helping the american people.

I'm fine, I don't need a stimulas package, I'll be ok, but i'm lucky. There are TONS of people living paycheck to paycheck out there, they need help and they need it soon. It's going to get worse REALLY fast if all the states end up shutting down, but people in the states that already have, are going to need help in the next week or two, just to get food alone.

So stop playing pussy foot with each other and trying to one up the other party, or get tax breaks for friends, or loop holes for corporations.

Just freaking pass a bill that gives money to those who really need it (not based on taxes, based on SS#) so that everyone can get what they need to survive until this passes.

What, you think those people who didn't pay taxes or at least didn't file them in 2018 are just gonna magically be ok? They need to eat, they probably have less resources then the people who DID pay taxes, and I highly doubt they are just going to starve quietly if you don't help them.

Give every American enough money to pay for food for themselves, at least, until this is over. I don't think it needs to be $1200 per american, that is a bit much (although I would recomend suspending ALL mortgage and tax payments on property during this period, so you can ALSO suspend ALL rent payments).

This would allow you to give something like $600 per adult for food, along wwth $200 additional per child in the house hold.

It's less over all, but by removing the cost of utilites(that is another thing that should be done) and rent/mortgage/taxes), you will allow most americans to be able to support themselves on the $600 (although there are other things that will need to suspend payments on as well, like health insurance etc).
