Half of Americans can't afford a $1,000 emergency. $1,200 isn't even a month's rent. We all pay taxes our entire lives, and the government takes the tax money from the many poor and gives it to the already wealthy. When the poor *finally* get some of that tax money back, they get a measly $1200 that they'll spend in a day. Stop trying to control us by telling us we don't deserve money when we need it.<br><br>Edit: I thought this would be more obvious, but no, you don't divide the two trillion by every citizen and say that's ridiculous. You divide it by 2.5 million people who lost their jobs each day that the economy is shut down, and you see it's barely a month's rent *per person*.
