> Combined with congressional inaction on social spending a lot of people are going to be in very deep finanical issues.

I would imagine people are experiencing such things already seeing as how it’s been seven months with nothing but a single $1200 check.

We should never have sent a 1200 check at all. The people who need help were the ones who lost their job. And they got it through extra unemployment benefits. I do realize there is an issue with some people who don't qualify for unemployment either because they still work part time or because they were self employed. That group should have been targeted and or given benefits as well

Yes and states have run out of funding. They literally cant pay people the services they promised them when taking taxes.
