Will this stock market madness affect cards?

Taking advantage of the government suspending student loan payments?

Where would the country be right now without social welfare?

Absolutely , but the working class is/will end up paying for it/paying it back. Not really true Social Welfare. The "disadvantaged group" in the case will have the ANSWER FOR TAKING what was handed out, and have the burden of PAYING FOR THOSE WHO DONT.

Edited to answer part 2

Where would we be? Worse off that we are for sure.


Call me insensitive, where would we be if we never closed the country and had these "hand outs" (again ones the working people will have to pay back) awarded in the first place?

The working class was stunning not as affected by this deadly disease, but they will bear the brunt of paying for it

So what? Shouldn't people with means pick up the slack for those who don't? Isn't that what makes a community strong? Or on a larger scale, a country?

I certainly do, in my quarterly payments to the IRS. It doesn't mean we should reward bad behavior. Some people need assistance, others might be poor, but they ain't stupid. Doesnt there come a point where the burden gets too high?

Isn't it too high right now? People are just collecting an extra $600 a week for doing nothing. People aren't paying their rent. Their mortgages. Some people are making more money on unemployment than they did working. Is that the bad behavior you're talking about?

But we're doing it anyway because people are still people and they need to survive. I don't hear anyone calling for an end to social welfare programs as long as they're on one. Do you know anyone who returned their stimulus check? Anyone calling for themselves to be evicted because they can't pay rent? Anyone saying the free meal services should stop allowing them to eat free meals? I'm really not sure what the alternative is that you're suggesting.
