Cuban Wants Every American to Get $1000 Every Two Weeks for Two Months

by

He’s self-made billionaire and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, and Mark Cuban has some thoughts on the ongoing economic hardship many Americans are facing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

We’re not sure if anyone in Washington is listening or not, but he recently told CNBC’s ‘Make It’ on Thursday, that here are “two economies,” or two sets of realities, right now: One for those able to stay afloat and one for those unable to. “Those without [help] are struggling badly,” he says. “We need to get them help.”

And to help, he voiced his support for more stimulus and went even further… he thinks every American should get $1000 every two weeks for the next 2 month.  The only catch, “The money has to be spent within 10 weeks, to help stimulate the economy.” 

He said the same thing back in May but added, “I still believe in doing it the exact same way today.”

As of Friday there were still some 13 million Americans still out of work due to the COVID pandemic.   To date talks on a new stimulus package are at a stand-still in Washington, as House Democrats and Senate Republicans bicker over the cost of the package.
