...or to realize that that the government does have a role in particular instances and in particular times, while also realizing socialism sucks. That does figure.

So 2 trillion divided by 250 billion taxpayers is about $8,000 per taxpayer. Is my math off?

Well, there aren't 250 billion taxpayers, but otherwise looks good. However, according to MSNBC math, we could afford to give everyone $1 BILLION DOLLARS!

WTF does that mean? Oh wow, are you surprised that Some Republicans might not be the lemmings that they are made out to be. I thought that they were all brainwashed sheep blindly following their dear leader!!
Last time I checked they didn't file any lawsuit like the Dems did. And there is zero way that anyone is going to get an impeachment action going against DeWine.
Yup. Just more media rabble rousing to try to sell papers. It's ludicrous.

Looked at the other direction, 330mm Americans * $1,000 = 330B. The corporate bailout is $500B. Thanks for playing suckers, you got robbed again. We can't be having ultra leveraged corporations learning lessons in this country.
