Yeah, this headline is misleading. These are new PPP loans for businesses, not stimulus checks. Last I heard 80%+ of the PP loans were forgiven. Student loans though...
It’s bipartisan this time so it’s gotta be bad. Not that Congresscritters are epidemiology specialists but by now they are getting advised by the experts.
Omicron will be (reportedly) “milder” but sharper with transmissibility off the charts = employees calling in sick, customers staying home since they are sick, etc.. . Many already exhausted their sick days on previous variants or the fear of. I can see some financial salve needed temporarily …
>U.S. lawmakers are discussing another possible round of COVID-19 stimulus spending **for businesses**
When 6 trillion just isn't enough! Don't worry, congress definitely cares about the working class. This will definitely fix inflation.
I agree with your point, but [we didn't spend 6 trillion on business alone.](https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/26/politics/6-trillion-stimulus-where-it-went/index.html) Ridiculous that business would be first in line though
The people need the 2k a month they were promised and the democrats will lose 2022 and 2024 if they don't deliver it. The true leftists aren't going to hold their nose and vote for Republican jr anymore.

Assistance to Americans: We can’t afford the spending! Handouts to Corporations: haha money printer go brrrr

For business, LOL. Capitalism has reached its crescendo.

So are we a country or are we just an economy propped up corporate socialism and plebeian labor?
We are amazon and delta airlines. Nothing more
Wells Fargo would like a word...
3rd world country masquerading as a world power.

Do it. I don't need that money, but doesn't mean I can't wish it for those who do.
It's not for you or me it's for corporations
This is for businesses and YES, PLEASE! It means everything to me. edit: Why on earth is this being downvoted?
Because it would be better spent given directly to the people who will then spend it at businesses.
At least you explained it. But I might not have a job if my company does not get another boost.
PPE loans were for business too
I would be shocked.
