Congress took care of Wall street, but not main street, they are starving. And the best stimulus in a situation like this is checks to people. Hoover did not help and it was a disaster. FDR came in and saved the day. The Republicans played Pelosi and after she helped them get Wall street what they wanted, they had no intention of coming back to help Main street. The people got one $1,200 check in the last five months. Big fucking deal. Wall street has a blank check and gotten trillions, that is why the Stock market is up. The feds are supporting Wall street with an open credit line, while main street suffers. And 85% of the stock market is owned by only 10% of the people. And 97% of the people under one million dollars only have 30% of the nations wealth.

The government did step in and help to the tune of many of trillions of dollars. Some of you on the extreme left think the only solution no matter what the problem is to dump unlimited cash to everyone whether it makes sense to or not. That is more than crazy it is economic suicide! Why do you think the stock market keeps going to new highs? People have so much cash that they can't figure out what to do with it! There are people in need, I do agree, but there has to be some thought and pragmatism used to target the money!!!! AND that includes the democrates and their ridiculous $600 bucks a week to not work.
