its OUR money folks....our tax dollars...consider it just a little rebate from the thousands and thousands and thousands we pay in taxes....
if people use this extra money in the right way, it could be great.
if we all would pay off credit cards it would send shock waves thru the financial markers....
even better if most mortgages were paid off....
imagine a country where the big corporations and banks had to reduce prices and entice us to buy their products...
Didn’t the house pass this a few days ago...and R’s turned it down. Trying again?
At 25+trillion does it really matter?
A Dingell has been sitting in Congress since 1932.
Think about that for a few seconds. And tell me there is not an elite ruling class in America.
Our little fixer upper is paid for, thank the LORD, (and Auntie, for practically giving it to us); but $4,000 in our savings account wouldn’t hurt us, as senior citizens.

Or the amount owed for the 2019 tax year?
I’m selecting Nancy Pelosi as my Deadpool selection.
If, they modify the current bill and add more COVID relief money, does the clock start over on the Presidents 10 days (minus Sundays) to sign the bill? That is a big deal because they will need Trump to sign it before 3 January 2021. If he veto's the bill on 2 January, they have to rush in and vote to override the veto, which will give American citizens only $600. The RINOS and RATS will own that $hitty bill and I can assure you they never wanted to own it. They expected Trump to sign it, then it became Trump's responsibility. They will need to give something to Trump in return to get this monstrosity signed before 3 January! Trump knows this, I wonder what he wants?
Re: $2,000 Direct Payments Will Pass on Monday
Consumer prices will increase on Tuesday.
No stand alone Bill. Force Congress to fix the current bills. Congress combined the COVID and Omnibus bills to expedite the smoking pile of dung to PDJT for signature. Trump wants something out of this mess besides cutting the pork in the Omnibus bill. If they send up a stand alone bill, Trump has no leverage.
Everything you said is economically suspect. According to what I have read. You have people out there right now who have not paid their mortgage or their rent for months. From what I read some stopped paying in June when the protection started. Others stopped paying in October when their unemployment changed. A good many people just pocketed the unemployment +$600. Spent it and did not pay rent, they put it off because they could not be evicted. They maybe able to negotiate with their lender or landlord and use the $2000 as down payments, but it is unlikely. If people have not paid rent or their mortgage since October, they have other financial issues as well. Starting in January their credit will be destroyed, they will have trouble renting in good areas and will not be able to buy anything of value for years. They may even have difficulty when they apply for jobs. Anybody behind on their mortgage because they figured Uncle Sugar was going to bail them out are screwed. If not in January, some date very soon down the road. Paying off the credit cards with $2000 or $4000 will not shock the system, it will give banks much need liquidity. Great, the banks will have liquidity, the people who paid off their cards have $hit.
That $2000 or $4000 (per couple) benefits people like me. Will I spend it, sure eventually. I will not use it to pay off debt, that is just a waste.
The reason some in Congress did not want to give $2000 or the original $1200 again was because too many people in June stuck that money into savings. It did not stimulate the economy the way they had hoped. They need people to spend that money on goods locally to stimulate the economy. The other problem with the COVID relief in June was it became a boondoggle for Amazon. People who did spend the $1200 bought online, not locally. It is the local small businesses that hire the majority of people that are going under.
To get a million you have to speak Spanish, be a LBBT or whatever and a democrat. Now I don’t mind two of the above but if you turn democrat we have a problem.
“ What the Dems are doing is simply taking the porkulus relief bill,”
I’m not sure that’s accurate. I read that on Monday they’re voting on a stand alone $2 k stimulus payment.
My husband remembers going to Tiger games with his aunt. All the men wore suits. Same aunt worked in Detroit, then Dearborn. Anyone could ride a bus safely to the downtown. He remembers going to Hudson’s downtown with his mom.
He is from western suburb.
However, it is THIS Congress. New Congress takes over January 3rd.
Yeah, it was a different era. Respect for everyone. Worked beside each other in the factories. Lots of terrific families. I grew up in Lincoln Park touching the southwest border of Detroit. Detroit was home to many, many friends and relatives. Sheesh those were some fabulous days in my youth playing sports against other kids in other communities. It can bring tears to my eyes when I think about it. I have a memory that amazes my family. I can remember things from 2 & 3 years old. It’s crazy. I can remember details that I cannot believe that I can remember. Vivid details.
I don’t know if its related, but I stopped watching television about 8+ years ago and quit radio shortly thereafter.

Looks like PDJT signed the COVID19 Relief and Omnibus bill this evening. He’s asking Congress to raise the payments to Americans under a certain income level from $600 to $2000 in a separate bill
