I shouldn’t be surprised.
It's even worse than that. The Republicans want the checks they send out to individuals to be only an advance on the next year's tax refund. So if you get a check your next year's refund would be reduced by the same amount, or if you owe tax your bill would increase by the same amount. This is how it went when W mailed everyone a check in 02 or 03 I think it was. The money they're giving away to corporations will just be a fat ol' handout.
Hopefully the Democratic controlled House won't let this happen, but expect there to be some sort of compromise in the name of urgency, and expect it to be mostly in favor of the rich and the corporations.
I repeat: socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor and working class. Privatize profit, socialize risks and losses. It's all a big fucking scam.
