Until there is ironclad, INDEPENDENT oversight to where the money is going.
Mnuchin apparently is asking for more money.
Fuck that noise. NOT ONE GOD DAMN CENT MORE!

(86,073 posts)we should refuse to reopen the country until those fuckers are gone. We're already shut down. What if we refused to go back to work unless they all resign? At least -45 and Mr. Pants.
It's a thought.
And...I dont know why but Mr. Pants made me lol. 🤣

School loan repayment/forgiveness
Direct living payments to every individual (we are talking small amounts of money here on the individual scale, large sums in total. Nickle and diming to keep the upper 5% from getting any, and the lower 25+ % from getting as much is a waste of time and money. Let the upper5% make charitable donations with it if they have a conscious).

(20,883 posts)The leftover money will go to cruise ships none of which are flagged in the US so none pay taxes, of course money will go to the airline industry, and big money will go to the fossil fuel industry which is already being subsidized.

(1,215 posts)The money that was supposed to go to the airlines had a deadline of yesterday (4/7) and clearly the funds are late. SOMEONE stop these thieves, these are taxpayer $$$$$$$$

(13 posts)Democrats should insist that the next bailout/stimulus bill includes the following:
Medicare for All, modeled after the Sen. Sanders legislation, to be effective now.
A Federal jobs program such as the WPA, with a minimum of $45k salaries, open to everyone that needs a job. And a new Federal minimum wage of $ 22 per hour.
Withdraw the case at the US Supreme Court that is trying to kill ACA/Obamacare,
and require all states to expand Medicaid immediately.
A guaranteed income of $2000 per month for the next 12 months to all adult Americans and residents ( similar to the Andrew Yang policy.)
Expanded food stamp program.
Debt forgiveness for educational and other debt.
Remove the ceiling on the Social Security payroll tax.
Eliminate the requirements on the USPS to fund their pension plan for 75 years into the future.
Permit the USPS to offer banking services.
Add a requirement: any corporation that receives federal bailout funds must have all top executives reduce their salary and all other compensation to zero dollars, with no deferred compensation or golden parachutes. And a freeze on *any* lay-offs or terminations.
And place rank-and-file workers on the executive board to include 51% of the voting power.
Federal minimum of $60k for school teachers and nurses, with federal subsidies to insure it.
A federal rent control program, with rent increases limited to the official cost of living increases (typically 2 percent per year.).
An independent overseer, appointed by Rep. Nancy Pelosi, to watch how Trump and Mnuchin dole out the money to corporations.
Have I forgotten anything? Please add your items.
