Shooting their was far too soon.
Should I save the government some time and just print my own?
They would frown upon that......................
A friend of ours on Canada is applying for mortgage relief even though he was already unemployed anyways
How are they identifying people? IRS accounts?
Looks like a huge opportunity for fraud, and Leftist organizations will know how to collect on that fraud.
With the insanity unleashed by Justice Kennedy they may have to define "family".
Many workers are being furloughed without pay. They aren’t eligible for unemployment benefits because they are still employed by the company they work for, but they being forced to stay away from work.
I wish everyone had 3-6 months of an emergency fund, but most people don’t. These checks, while not a huge amount, may allow people to keep their electric and water on for another month.. or buy some food supplies.
I’m one of those workers that cannot go into work, and have no idea if or when I will be allowed back. It may be 2 weeks, it may be 6 months. Either way, I’m cashing whatever check I get and being thankful that it was given.
Notice that the Treasury Secretary used the phrase “The FIRST ONE...”............................
An earlier article I read said under 70k is 1000-1200. Still
Negotiating. 70-90k it gets paired down. Over 99k you get 0.
The over 99K just get to pay for all of this :(
I am in the same boat the shop i work at closed.
Cool! I can buy two nice pistols and some ammo for $1K.

Only if you’re making under 70K, per one article.
It’s probably based on tax returns. So....1-2-3. What about illegals?
LOL!
You have to have been around awhile to recognize where that film clip is from.
It sums up the situation perfectly: if you can’t figure out what really needs to be done, just start throwing lots of money at the problem and hope that some of it ends up funding useful solutions.
Based 2018 income? or 2019? or 2020 income? (after layoffs, etc.)? My guess...2018 income or 2019 if you filed taxes already.
“Slim chance” my arse. 50% of Americans are pretty damn stupid. But if they’re stupid enough to think that Biden could fix this...they’re catastrophically stupid.
HAHA!!
They’ll still spend it. Or put it in the bank where most of it will become a loan. A big part of this isn’t just helping those that lost money get some of it back. It’s jump starting the movement of money, give the economy some momentum. Money never just gets spent once, a worker gets paid, and he spends, which turns into somebody else’s pay, or go to suppliers, and round and round and round. Pull that plug at any point and the money motion stops. This is a kick start, push some motion. Honestly they’re probably hoping a lot of it goes to folks who don’t “need” it. Those people are likely to see it as “fun” money, splurging at nice restaurants they don’t normally go to, or maybe buying that high end phone they can never justify. Make the wheel spin.
Is that in there? A family? Individual? That’s not much of an income especially if two work.
Easy sign it over to me please.
