There are plenty of people hurting, but lots of people are doing very well. The stock market is at an all time high.

The only reason that Trump wants everyone to get $2K is that it will throw fire on the stock market so the rich can get richer on government debt. Instead the money should be targeted to the people and industries that really need assistance.

The $600 checks are only for people making less than $75k. I hadn’t heard bumping it to $2k would then extend the payments to every American.
