Spot on. These handout programs, especially this one is a disincentive for personal responsibility. And as someone here said wealth redistribution. And worse, will be a huge hit for more inflation.

I’ve heard from news sources that many are terribly disappointed that it’s not $50,000 each or a complete payoff. What a joke. Our poor country (literally). Uncle Sam is not only broke, he (WE) owe over $30 Trillion. We’re on the road of Rome. Sad.
