Who cares at this point, just send everyone a million dollars and call it a day on the United States.

are you sure that's enough? With inflation, that may not buy much by the time we see it.

I'm sure the next one will be those who make under 50k and are a minority not to include any Asians.
Southern Black farmers react to American Rescue Plan stimulus
The bill amasses $4.8 billion for minority farm aid. The largest piece, $3.7 billion, would forgive delinquent USDA Farm Services Agency loans, pay off direct and guaranteed loans at the agency, and pay related taxes farmers may owe when the loans are retired.
"Ironically that money is going to dissipate through USDA and not go directly to farmers. So, we don't know exactly how that's going to come out," said Demetrius Hooks, a fourth-generation farmer in Shorter, Alabama.

How about a stimulus that involves having government get the fudge out of the way so people can go back to work and be productive.
I think most people are reasonable and were ok with 1 or 2, the third was a stretch, and now this is just ridiculous.
Where I live people are posting on local boards begging for workers.

This is stupid.
According to Politico, some Democratic members of Congress do not feel a third stimulus check is enough. Two months before the new relief package was signed, 50 Democratic members of the House of Representatives signed a letter asking President Biden to prioritize recurring direct checks instead of one-time stimulus payments.
It's no longer a stimulus if it is constantly reoccurring. Let's call it what it is, UBI.
Except it's not UBI, it is only UBI for some. We all know what is next............hyperinflation anyone?
The writing is on the wall.
but when that money runs out, families will once again struggle to pay for basic necessities
In the US we sure do love giving people medicine instead of finding the cure...

If not going directly to the farmers who exactly is it going to?
