More Stimulus On THe Way ?

[AquaHull]

The central elements of a hard-fought compromise appeared in place: more than $300 billion in aid to businesses; a $300-per-week bonus federal jobless benefit and renewal of soon-to-expire state benefits; $600 direct payments to individuals; vaccine distribution funds and money for renters, schools, the Postal Service and people needing food aid.

Read this morning on Newsmax, one of the sticking points is the sunset clause in the Cares Act passed in March, which is the method money can be transferred to Citizens and Businesses - and was supposed to expire. The dems want the expiration Clause taken out, or extended to 2026, so they can use that method to continue to send money to the public (under the guise of covid), rather than a separate bill to give Basic Income to Americans...which wouldn't pass. Sneaky fkrs.

I would like to stimulate their socialist asses via a cattle prod up their backsides. Hell, as messed up as they are, they would probably just enjoy it, though.

I'm not too keen on these stimulus plans. During a normal year folks would find a way to make it on unemployment, they've done it before.
I did accept the first one, but if we have another and Trump doesn't make it, the Dems will squawk look at the deficit, we need to raise taxes and blame Trump/Republicans even tho they signed off on it too.

I really wish I could be glad to get free money, but I feel for my daughter and those around her age(24) that will have to pay the majority of it through taxes.

I guess I'm just dumb or something.

How is this ever going to be repaid???

We got 330 million folks in this place . . . and I read not long ago that only about half have jobs. That's 165 million.

If 165 million folks paid 25K$ a year income taxes on the average . . . that's only 4T$ . . . and in 2019 we spent that and then some.

So how do we retire this 35T$ debt we now have???

May God bless,

$600 per individual? BFD.

$600 per individual? BFD.

Exactly! That won't even cover my Bourbon expenses since the last chump change of my tax money they sent in May or June when ever it was.

If you get that $600 I recommend ammo, silver, canned goods, etc...
