Socialism in the US isn't for people, it's for corporations.
The airlines, oil and gas, hospitality, casinos, industrial farmers...we have plenty of tax dollars to redistribute to them.
It's only bad if we use it for health care, utilities, rent, mortgages, infrastructure.
Fish on...

Aside from the Feds pumping the actual markets, everyone needs to remember that these "bailout" monies are not free handouts. Their interest bearing loans. The Fed actually made money back after the 2008 crisis.
Everyone is going to need a bailout. Citizens, small businesses, corporations and entire market & industry sectors. Certain industries and corporations are too big to fail as they provide critical infra and services (transportation, energy, food, health etc.).
Again, this is going to cost trillions upon trillions of dollars. Unfortunately, casinos are somewhere on the list. Unless you want to permanently shut down Vegas forever. Casinos provide all of the jobs in that town and there is no reason to even have a Las Vegas without the casinos.
This is uncharted territory and the Feds will be damned if they do and damned if they don't. So what do you do?

Wait a minute...you mean we got the 2008 dollars back, with interest?
And here I was being told that Obama was Nigerian Kenyan Socialist Muslim.
You mean we made money on the deal?
Shocking.

P.S. We only get it back if they actually pay it back, kinda like the student loans that the Derp State is having a coniption about...subsidies are giveaways, and un-repaid bailout money is a giveaway, too.

Also...if the airlines hadn't used all their money to buy back all their stocks to line their pockets after the received a berzillion dollar tax giveaway from Trump, they wouldn't be out of money now.
Shockingly...the execs paid themselves billions, and the public is paying tax dollars to the companies they raided.
Fish on...

Obviously, it won't help with that. I filed a month ago. It will help a LOT of others though and it should provide extra IRS bandwidth in case they do disbursements. I don't know.
At least they're actually thinking of helping main street - which in and of itself is a major hurdle with this admin.

if someone gets to the fishing hole first, and catches the fish sitting in it, are they the hoarder too?
or did they prepare better?
Im now seeing a lot of folks who should have been paying attention, but didnt take this seriously, bitch and whine cause they cant get what they need.
maybe thats just part of the natural selection process....

If they take more than their limit, then yes, It does.
