14 scathing responses to Congress’s proposed $600 stimulus checks
Nine months after Americans received their first stimulus check, Congress is inching closer to passing a new coronavirus aid package. The package is believed to include a second round of stimulus checks at a rate of $600 each, half of the previous amount.
Another round of payments could be around $600 to $700, down from the $1,200 sums Congress authorized with the first payments in the spring. https://t.co/yV3xoB93Ik

$600 is enough for a stimulus check and $15 is too high for minimum wage. I also haven’t paid attention to the economy since 1960 and bought a house for $17 in 1962.
