Did you get your stimulus check?
Across the country, people are receiving $600 stimulus checks, while the debate rages on over why is it not $2,000. Maybe we should just be happy for all of those who $600 made the difference, allowing them to feed their children, buy them new clothes and shoes, not be homeless, keep their lights on, or simply live just a little bit better life.
To some, $600 might not be much. To others, it might be everything.
