I think anything monthly probably won't work, especially $2,000, but the $500 Harris is pushing will have a better chance.

Republicans are going to want to give the big corporations millions, and that's not what needs to be done. I think the people at the bottom end of the chain need the help more than millionaire and billionaires.

I think the Democrats will have a fight getting republicans to put those in need first, but I think they will fight for it. Before any corporation gets money, we need to control the spread of the virus and use all the funds we can to get tests out, and to make sure we have the things needed to save people lives, not make corporations richer!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
