$ 600.00 is a joke, but even $2,000 is not the answer, the correct answer is to open up this country, restaurants and all and let Americans take care of themselves, handouts are not the answer! Hurting the economy with shutdowns is absurd and increasing the national deficit is certainly NOT right!

$2,000 could potentially mean the difference from being homeless or not., but $600 will Not pay anyones rent or house payment.

$4,000.00 for every one that makes under 40,000.00. Give it to people that actually need it! I think these billionaires need to be capped and the rest given back.

I still like a income flat tax the same for every person. No deductions and no taxes back.

These corrupt career politicians need to think about the American people first. Why send billions of dollars overseas when it’s a stimulus to help the the American people?if you call it a covid relief bill for the American people and say it’s to help us but send money overseas it’sgoing back to them

The people that need it are hurting badly and $600 is a slap in the face. $2000 comes closer to covering anything significant.

$2,000 might actually make a difference in people's lives; $600 doesn't cut it at all.

For those that truly need it. Not for people that are still able to work and earn a living. And absolutely NOT for illegal immigrants EVER!!

Because even though the 600$ stimulus was approved I feel that the other amount would be easier and better cause for the businesses, and the American people.

I think we should give everyone $10,000. I am 78 I won't need to pay it back. lol. Most of the money borrowed is going to foreign countries. Young people that vote democrat have no idea that they are destroying their future.

inflation? There will be consequences to all this. I really hope those in need are able to use it well but it will still come at a cost.

No! what I would support is having businesses who are forced to close submit last years P&L to the government and get that money, they could pay their employee's who could pay their bills. Of course there is more to it but I do not have room to go in to it.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
