$5000 isn't enough money for me to change the way i vote. The negative impact of giving them more power is greater than the positive impact of that money, I could use it though. If Dems take over both chambers they should send approve the stimulus to spite him. Make him veto it and have him say he's vetoing it because Americans didn't vote the way he wanted them to.

I am desperate right now, financially. 5k wouldn't fix my life, but it is the exact figure I need to ensure I have stable housing for the next year+ and can have the ability to get a decent job.

Wouldn't do it. Wouldn't do it 100k.
