vote Trump
i have family that could use the $$.
WE are on SS, his is based off 20 yrs Navy and 20 yrs teaching Computer science/math/Sisco to those who would be teachers of it. Retired Dept Chair, Jr college. Mine was min wage jobs for disability, went to regular at 66. Last of the Boomers. He has a state and Navy pension, but that is based off 58-80 theen college for teaching degree time frame.
I’d Bank it, and in the fall help my grandson who is going to Tech School get a better than he 30 yr old car he has for safer transportation. He works after school, and summers. Pays his own phone, car ins. still lives with his dad. How jobs for them will play out is iffy. Son is Type 2 Diabetic and near 50. Wrong age for job hunting and Diabetes is a drawback.
As we all do, charity begins at home...................
Well...last year we sold stock and put in CDs to fund retirement ...so our income LOOKS high.. If we got it I’d help elect some sane reps with some of it
As self employed, we’re probably going to pay taxes :-)
And dont forget women...
What about dependents who did file a tax return? (I have a son in college.) If you are a dependent on someone else’s return, do you think they will receive the check?
Use it to prep
prep for the coming socialism
Invest it.
ROFL!!!!
So now you have an idea of what I look like and am like :)
Just like to be honest. :)
But I love kids too much and half would go to St. Judes before my debauchery kicked in.
I don’t think every one gets a check, but I’m not sure I have been working.
I just bet I don’t qualify.
oil always rebounds
‘If he is screwed either way then why is he siding with the communists who are shutting down our country to take control of it communist style??’
I can think of 2 reasons -
Drastic times call for drastic measures.
‘Don’t let a crisis go to waste’
He needs to fight strategically - fight in a way that gets least resistance, getting credits for it while reaping desirable results. In a word, turn this ‘crisis’ into an opportunity for a big win in Nov election.
Don’t let the left use it for their own gain, rather turn the table on them!
What good will it do if he handles it in ways we approve but results in losing the election? (Example - just letting it run its course could risk high fatality rate and blames squarely falling on his shoulders causing him the presidency.)
It is a difficult time, but keeping Trump to be our president is worth the efforts and inconvenience!
I think sending everybody the ‘checks’ is worthless, but if they did , we should use the money wisely to help achieve the desired goals - get the economy going, and, keep Trump the president (if possible, by giving him more money to get the votes out etc.)
‘Like every other government gimme, I am the one who pays for it, not the receiver. I wish they would have made this a tax refund, then at least the people benefiting would be those who actually work. Most of the beneficiaries will be those who are already a drain on society, and they will likely spend it in ways that will make their own situations worse and probably lead to the spread of the virus.’
Agree.
That is why we have to use it wisely, hopefully our wise moves would offset their bad moves
Anyone know if retired people on Social Security will Gert the check???
