Dan, did the Kennedy Center really need a bail-out?

Being a "Hick from the Sticks". How does the money to the Kennedy Center help our Nation? Always willing to learn.

Probably for the same reason that National Airport hasn't been closed. The Kennedy Center is a go-to facility for the K Street lobbyists and politicians of all stripes. It's all about big money now more than ever. The little guys pay the Bill's for this over-the-top BS.

You know that ultimately this all will come right back out of our pockets in the form of higher taxes and higher prices for goods and services.

The $1200.00 check from the federal government is not for every human in the country. You have to be below an income threshold to receive the money. I understand your thinking that only businesses should get government handouts, I just don't agree with it.

I didn't say, nor do I think that ONLY businesses should get the funds. I said that there is no reason to give $1200(or $2400) to a married couple if in fact they are still fully employed and not suffering a loss as a result of this issue.

This thing ballooned to $2 trillion because of politics, nothing else. They could have helped the businesses and relieved some of the stress for taxpayers without giving away the farm and buckling under to the Democrats. What Pelosi did in the face of this tragedy in un-American. She should be severely punished and not just at the voting booth.

All that money filters through our economy
Every penny...especially to poor and low wage workers.

Not the $trillions giving to corporations?
Especially the corporate give away money without Review and Feedback.
A lot of their money will never move through our economy!
Just more Trickle Down ** economics?

But we who have small businesses.
Have to go through a gauntlet of review and business records to apply.

But you worry about poor people getting $1200
More poor people bashing..

Yet ignore the huge corporations that do not give a crap about us.
Like all the CEO’s of major corporations that quit their cushy jobs so they could sell their Stock.
It is quite a list..

$trillions will go to Non-US corporations that never paid a dime in Taxes are getting Bail ..right Mitch McConnell?

But let’s worry about a poor person getting money.

I believe the money being given to huge corporations are also loans.

Okay guys enough.... Julie makes a post that could help some people with their business, and you guys turn it political. If you all continue to bash each other on what's right or wrong, I will close the thread.

Some of you members... I really don't understand, with all the bad things going on right now.... is it not better to be more positive and supportive to each other, instead being so negative.

Thank you Julie, I know you meant well and did not expect this thread to turn into a political discussion.
