Ask Terry Questions Stimulus and politicians

Stimulus and politicians

By Terry Savage on September 02, 2020 | Wild Card

Hi terry. I’ve been reading on my phone, that Pelosi doesn’t want to budge on a stimulus check. Well, why dont they stop paying her, see if she could live below the poverty line??!! Us Americans are struggling! She doesn’t care, she has her millions! Either we are, or not, getting a second stimulus check?

You’re reading the wrong stuff. It’s the Democrats (under Nancy Pelosi) who are and have been pushing for a second stimulus check, and an extension of the former $600/week unemployment benefits. I’m surprised that politicians of both parties haven’t gotten together — especially in an election year — to send more money to people.
EVERYONE in Congress should try to live on their savings for a while — and not take another penny in salary — until they do their jobs!
