10. I don't need it , but...

Mar 2020

Its my money and don't want it to go again to the wealthy, because we're going to have to pay for it anyway , we might as well be the ones getting it. Also giving it directly to us it will stimulate the economy, and trump can claim he saved us when he was using it as a bribe for votes. So if its little it'll really hurt any chances of getting re-elected, but if it pretty good he'll get some people's votes. Never mine. Yeah I know a number of people desperately needing it, some elderly ones.
