rob_shadows Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Is it a good idea to give everyone (even those who aren't even out of work because of the virus) $2,000 a month? No idea... But I definitely won't be complaining if it happens. ... I'll stimulate the hell out of the economy with that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was “fixed” for me today by locking me out of being able to update my direct deposit info and instead requiring I get a check in a while from now.

That's almost as much as I already take home after taxes and I'm still able to work through all this so it'd basically be damn near doubling my income until all this is over. And the part that I find interesting is that it supposedly will not count as having an income... So does that mean people still get unemployment from their respective states on top of 2,000 a month from the federal government? Cause that seems extreme... For a lot of folks they'd be making more than they did when they were working, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people would be making more than they typically would, which means a lot of stupid spending, but that’s what they want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once, the government would actually be helping out those of us who actually represent the majority of this county instead of the wealthy who never want for anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a temporary measure. I don't think anyone is going to quit their job to get it. Besides the only way this passes the Senate is if reopening the economy fails spectacularly. At that point they will try something to alleviate mob protest again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our economy is built on the middle class and lower class spending. Once that stopped because of the virus, it's not a surprise that things went downhill quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it would be counter intuitive to tax us on money given to us from taxes we previously paid. We will be paying off the stimulus checks as well as bail outs with our collective tax dollars from the tax money taken out of our paychecks/other forms of taxation. I believe.
