US stocks gained on Monday after President Donald Trump signed a $900 billion stimulus bill that includes $600 stimulus checks and an extension of the Paycheck Protection Program and unemployment benefits. After the stimulus bill was passed by Congress, Trump signaled he may not sign the bill as he complained about "pork spending" and advocated for an increase in stimulus checks to $2,000 from $600. The signing of the bill prevented a government shutdown that would have occurred at midnight tonight. Democrats and Trump continue to advocate for an increase in stimulus checks to $2,000. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tweeted on Sunday, "The House will pass a bill to give Americans $2,000 checks. Then I will move to pass it in the Senate. No Democrats will object. Will Senate Republicans?" Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has shown no signs of supporting $2,000 stimulus checks. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/us-stocks-jump-after-president-trump-signs-24900-billion-stimulus-bill/ar-BB1chXrb

I hope people remember names and faces of those who threw them to the wolves. I have seen both parties literally agree that the $600 is not enough. Especially for households with children. Like $600 cant even buy enough food. I spend $300 FOR MYSELF the common household is 4 people at minimum. Its crazy how they expect people to do anything with $600

It was unavoidable because unemployment benefits stopped and at midnight it would have shut the Fed Gov down. Some of the articles are saying he signed it with stipulations that they work on something that would better help us directly instead of ... you know, buying Egypt's pyramids for $1.3 Billion.

Its funny cuz i saw somewhere that the gender studies thing was not actually going to help. I saw people complaining that it was just gonna go to the government there without solving the actual issue. This whole bill is a sham, just like the trillion dollar one. But since people got 1,200 it didnt matter as much, this time we are getting only half of that. Its just dumb honestly. All these dudes in the government gotta go. Please dont vote for these guys ever again.

I'm actually trying to break my habit of using Google so much. It's amazing the difference you get on searches when you use something that isn't bought and feeds your first 10 options with "sponsers".
