All this money disbursed without any oversight on what it's spent on. I bet the coke and weed dealers are over the moon.

If Trump and Congress were to say the budget would be cut in other areas to make up for this or that recipients would have their payroll taxes slightly increased for the rest of the year to pay it back, it would make more sense. But no, that will never happen in this country. Let's add $10 trillion more to the national debt. Skybird is right, we are heading for a financial collapse that will make the economic disruption of this virus look small in comparison.

With these bailouts, this could actually trigger the collapse. I know, crazy to say that, could never happen. Like a pandemic could never happen. Excuse me, folks, I need to go check my garden and guns.

Give a man a free house and he'll bust out the windows
Put his family on food stamps, now he's a big spender
No food on the table and the bills ain't paid
'Cause he spent it on cigarettes and P.G.A (pure grain alcohol)
They'll turn us all into beggars 'cause they're easier to please;
They're feeding our people that Government Cheese
The bailout and handing out checks is a bad idea. Period. Those out of work should go to the proper channels of the unemployment compensation office. Why are there checks being cut to homes were people have not stopped working as a result of this virus? I'm working. I don't need the check. This is all a very bad precedence. The unemployment office is created for a reason.

Personally, I think a invoice of 10 trillion for this disaster needs to be sent to China.
