A former adviser to President Barack Obama urged Congress to provide a rescue package that would give every adult $1,000 amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Jason Furman, who served as the chair of the Council of Economic Advisers during the 2008 financial crisis, told NBC News that after exhausting all other options, giving people a one-time check for $1,000 and every child $500 is the best approach to the economy and ensuring the health of citizens.

ReplyDeleteThe only groups that will benefit are the public and private utilities. How about the government tell the power, phone, and cable companies that they must spread the next 3 months charges over a 2 year period instead.
ReplyDeleteOr stand up to them altogether, prevent monopolies and then you wouldnt have such a ridiculous bill.
Deleteyou mean MITT ROMNEY?
ReplyDeleteI know right are we going to ignore that Mitt Romney actually said this?
DeleteJust another way to institute Liberal agenda. As a Retiree in MD I know what it is to live day by day and still pay my bills. About time the average MD / US citizen learns that, since they always want more for nothing and raise my taxes to pay for their laziness and take my money to pay for them. Royally sucks.
ReplyDeleteShove a sock in it, we all pay for the social security and Medicare you collect that will be stripped dry by the time we can retire.
DeleteUh, retire somewhere else bud
DeleteThose damn liberals wanting everyone to have food, clean water and a roof over their heads. How dare they!
