    Typical government response. The people working don't need the money, the ones who lost their jobs or got laid off (restaurant workers, for instance) are the ones who need it.

    If they send me a check I'll order some good take out and tip the restaurant worker 300% until the money is gone. Win win.

    so you mean the extra 500-600 weekly in unemployment wasn't good enough for you, either? SMH

    How would it work for a leased on driver at a company? That's if it passed at all.

    they put a LOT of oversight in this bill. So they'll have hell to pay if they don't use it for what it was meant.

    looks like i picked the wrong time to retire..>!! ARRRGGGGGHHHHH......!!!!!

    if it's given YOU TAKE IT.........

    but i worry about this in that proposal...

    "The funding would be provided directly to employers, who would then be responsible for directly paying out workers and providing proof of those payments to the federal government."

    i certainly HOPE that ALL employers actually hand out that money, but tell you what, that can be well over (or near) a million dollars say per company...don;t you think that's a possibility they squander that money and fly the coop..????

    also too.....i would imagine taxes will be taken out as well.
