Ask for the moon and stars, then act outraged when all you get is the moon. Ummm...NO!!
This is foolishness! Just let people go back to work.
Yep, rob the “rich”, meaning people who make 121,000 a year, and give it to the poor, who vote democrat.
If we are going to start doing universal income, give it to everybody, and then if you want, justify raising taxes on the rich to pay for it.
This isn’t just UBI - this is a full on socialist push Venezuela style.
The math on this is hard to comprehend.
Let’s say they are going to give 200M Americans $2000/mo.
That’s 400 Billion per month?
If it lasts six months, that’s 2.4 Trillion?
Sure it does.
FREE MONEY!!
And just in time for Sinko the Mayo.
I meant to say, that once things reopen, these benefits should stop immediately. The gravy train come to a creaking, whistling halt.
For, bipartisanship, they get Mittens.
>>That number would expand to $4,000 to married couples who file jointly, as well as add an extra $2,000 for each dependent child, up to three children.
4,000+6,000 with 3 kids. so $10,000 a month on top of whatever income or unemployment you DO have?
Some families would be getting $10k a month
Retroactive back to March? It’s May. Hand out $6,000 in the first check? Why not buy everyone a new car? Big screen TV? Publishers Clearing House jackpots for everyone!
After my wife died, I dated a girl for a while who lived on a part-time walmart salary, about $15k a year. She rented a basement room in a house for around $500 a month, and her life was that room, and she had use of the kitchen and bathroom.
She had an expensive phone, and had yearly passes to theme parks, and got her nails and hair done, and managed to scrape by, didn’t have health insurance until Walmart started providing it, so she had some outstanding medical bills.
It was pretty amazing how you can live on so little money, when I can’t seem to make my paycheck work. :)
Zimbabwe figured out how to do that, I don't see why we can't.
(Hint: it takes just as long to print a one billion dollar bill as it does to print a one dollar bill.)
“Seems to me that $5,000 a month would be better. Or 10. Or even more. What could possibly go wrong?“
If only Bloomberg had spent his money on the people, instead of ads, we would all be millionaires! ;-)
That’s the real purpose behind every liberal government handout; to create a voting bloc of addicts who will forever vote for dems to keep the financial crack flowing.
Two grand a month won't even get a respectable meth head out of bed in the morning.
Kill the rich! Kill the not so rich too!
Hand over the cash, pull up your mask---OR DIE!
There’s a proposal to do that with $15k a year, a universal basic income; As I get older and look at the alternatives, I think it has some merit relative to the quagmire of federal and state welfare that seems designed for fraud, and to keep people fromm getting money unless they are connected or pay the right people to help them.
The resultant inflation means that my years and years worth of saving will be devalued to nothing.
The pandemic should be winding down, this seems to encourage staying shut up. Bad idea from the wicked Democrats/globalists.
Who will pay for this crap?
