What do you think of the latest stimulus bill that seems to have bi-partisan support at least with those directly negotiating the bill and Trump who simply says "get it done"

It seems there will be a one time cheque for 6-700 dollars

An enhanced 300/week for eligible unemployment benefits

Money for schools

Money for front line workers for vaccine distribution and vaccination

No liability for those who broke rules to be open for biz during various stages of lock down. I don't really understand this part

If there is more or I am not correct please correct me

What it does not have

Support for large Corp although I am not sure about the entertainment industry

No money for state or local deficit spending

No mention of a rent moratorium

There are other restrictions which I may have forgotten

IMO this gets money to the people while letting big biz go it alone with no Fed help

I suppose one would think the airlines would qualify for help, but I would say no to any help

1st if you help the air lines then where do you stop with other big requests

2: large applications for funding in the past was where the most fraudulent applications happened

3: If an air line or tourist boat Co. goes BK there will be assets that some body will purchase at a cost structure lower to be profitable. We will not lose these industries, even brick and mortar has a value, even if for the empty space, after torn down for parking space or spec

I don't know if there is any help for Mom and Pop biz

I got some of the information incorrect

Please forgive me and if you are interested I am sure there will be more media coverage, next week

You will find the correct information, I am sure

I don't like the assistance given to airlines

Issues surrounding rent is a problem with no solution for everybody IMO
