It's not the $600 part that I find outrageous personally If anything, as you pointed out, it's justifiable; the gov orders people to shut down their business, it calls for compensation, for the damages inflicted to those businesses. Now 600 bucks is a joke, it's pocket change, you're only going to buy a couple of sandwiches and cigs for a month with this, and that's about it No, it's the foreign handouts included in this "stimulus package" that I find totally out of place, especially toward rich states such as israel. Israel isn't exactly a third world country and even if it was that's not an excuse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29_per_capita According to IMF, Israel ranks 19, on a list of 186 countries when it comes to GDP per capita France ranks 20, UK 21, Japan 22.... Nepal ranks 156.... The joke Deluxe beggars
