Just an idea here, hear me out..
Of all the requirements we seek when having people in positions of power, either elected or selected, we would all do much better if we placed even a modicum of compassion on that requirement list. I'm really tired of the pull yourself up by the bootstrap argument and the celebrated cruelty that comes with it.
Within weeks, we will have thousands of people in this country losing their homes and starving.

Yet, the Senate goes on recess and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin: "We're not going to use taxpayer money to pay people more to stay home."
HELLOOOOOOOO!!! The 'people' were ALL taxpayers before being forced to stay home in an effort to save lives and slow down the pandemic!

@ChippySuave Also any money directed at people forced to stay at home is going straight back into the economy to buy groceries and pay rent.
Not like I could toss it on my hoard pile and roll around on it like a Treasury Sec^H^H^H dragon.
