If they're going to put limits on businesses and some people losing their jobs, then wouldn't the stimulus help everyone keep money in the community.

WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT MANY MONTHS AGO!

Zarrie Sims-Brown

A package should go to all employers to continue the pay and health insurance for those who were or are employed. This way taxes keep getting paid back to the government while we try to get this mess under control. No one would be losing out and companies would be sustainable.

The U.S. government carries a lot of debt. Stimulus checks in the first round of relief helped push the budget deficit in the last fiscal year to more than $3 trillion.

What the do on their soil, is their business, but once their drugs are out on boats in the big beautiful Gulf of America, blow them out of the water.

We're not the world's police and we executed those people in cold blood. If Venezuela wants to kill its citizens without proof and without a trial, then leave the US out of it.

Venezuela is helping the companies that make Narcan.

I think if it were Obama, nothing would be said about it. I think just because it’s President Trump there is the hate that some have for him. Not this much controversy when all the other changes were done by other presidents. None of this is costing taxpayers as it has in the past.

Fred

Please provide an example of such an expansive change ... this ballroom is likely to turn out to be larger than the White House itself! I don't doubt we'll see a TRUMP sign on it before it is finished!

Max

Trump is improving the White House, and he is using private funding to do that.

Fred

Right ... "private funding" in exchange for pardons and other favors. The more accurate description is BRIBES.

Kenneth Young

Separation of the rich and poor is getting wider. I was never invited to watch a movie in the movie room just like I'll never be invited to any dances.....I think we'd be better off if they tore down the west wing

STOP THIS MANIAC!!!

Kelly Branstetter

It's history, it's respect and honor, the ballroom was never approved and the drawings show it overshadowing the White House itself. Awful
