Will You Get A Second Stimulus Check In Trump’s Executive Order?

Will President Donald Trump send you a second stimulus check by executive order?

Here’s what you need to know. Second Stimulus Checks

Trump signed executive orders today for a payroll tax cut, enhanced unemployment benefits, an eviction moratorium and student loan relief. Trump indicated all week that if Congress did not finalize a stimulus deal, he would take executive action to provide relief to the American people. One thing missing from today’s executive orders—second stimulus checks.

There is bipartisan support in Congress for a $1,200 stimulus check, and Trump supports a second round of stimulus checks too. Trump has even said second stimulus checks could be more than than $1,200. However, his executive orders do not include any checks.

They might sue him anyway and cause delays, and make their whole party look like sh!t. The only question is, are they that stupid? All indications suggest that they are.

To your point about “this computer age”, if any are “old school” like myself (always file via paper/snail mail), don’t get refunds, and don’t have their financial info residing on IRS servers to facilitate direct deposit...methinks therein lies the problem. As we all know, the IRS is equally as efficient as the USPS, and when they have to revert to mailing paper checks, they don’t know what to do with themselves.
I haven’t received (nor do I need/want) an initial check either. However, if one arrives, like another FRiend in the thread mentioned, I’ll most likely donate some, and perhaps throw a SiriusXM receiver, and a couple more speakers in the boat.

“What is in it for me?”

It sounds like the Lord is blessing you all around. The stimulus is for those who are not as fortunate.

Exactly! Trump last week promised a bigger sinuous check then 1200. He can’t go back on that.

Sorry, you will have to give Pelosi everything she wants before she will authorize sending you a $1,200 Bribe.

POTUS Trump doesn’t have a Key to the Treasury like Nancy does.

All the better. Mondale? McGovern? Goldwater? They keep going like this, they might even lose New York and California! Unlikely, but when have they ever been this stupid before? There might not be enough dead people in Chicago to carry Illinois.

My many elderly friends and relatives (Republicans all) as well as millions of seniors nation-wide hopefully have been counting on that second stimulus check, some rather desperately.

There are many readers on this forum who have been blessed financially.......and I fully understand their argument on this issue regarding the issuance of checks they do not need.

However, this issue will not help the President politically, especially after he floated the idea of another round of checks, maybe up to $1700 each.

I completely understand his hands are tied by the Democrat House and some Senate Republicans....but, sheesh, Mr. President, PLEASE make the effort to get a GOP Representative to at least introduce a STAND-ALONE bill for a second stimulus check....and FORCE the Dims to vote against it....and do it NOW.

We haven’t seen the details yet, but from his words it looks like you may get a break on the total 15.3%, since that is the amount you are paying. I’ll be glad when we see this fleshed out a little.
