A tap on the gas pedal while your other foot is firmly pressed on the brake does nothing.
These miniscule payments to the poor and middle class are relief funds for the poor and vote-buying trivialities for the middle class.
But they are not an “economic stimulus”.
Apparently, a lot of Republicans agree...
I have yet to see a restaurant with dispersed outdoor tables in my area.
Restore the full real property tax deduction do we can win back the House.
Trust me, EVERYONE who works the front lines in UI can’t wait for this $600/WK cluster to END!
The self-funding old age Social Security system should not be undermined by a payroll tax cut.
As a matter of fact there is a restaurant above the Soccer field of my hometown. My Dad, Mother and we kids used to go there when the local Soccer team played and my dad watched the game from the garden where they had tables and chairs set up.
I assume that he means $30 an hour or less. That's a annual salary of $62,400. In order to replace that unemployment would have to pay $1200 a week - $600 after the federal supplement. In Missouri the weekly benefit would be $320 so on unemployment I would be making more than a thousand dollars less a month. How is that financially more beneficial to stay home?
Vaccine introduction is being mismanaged.
The federal government therefore needs to be able to help the unemployed until June 2021 and shouldn’t squander money merely to help quarterly earnings reports.
Many states may need to rollback reopenings.
The proposed $1200 stimulus payments are not timely.
Stimulus payments should not be made until the economy can stay open for sure.
Overloading our hospitals with people getting sick after a buying binge us not the way to go.
Kind of hard for many to return to work when the government closed most businesses...
Childcare can take a big bite out of $62000/year.
Doesn't apply to me. But you know what does? Medical insurance and 401k. None of which a get sitting at home on unemployment.
How do you know when it can stay open for sure?
How do people pay bills in the meantime?
When have the hospitals been overloaded?
Not continuing payments could cost us the election.
The true economic repercussions of this are far from over.
Biden claims his universal health care plan will cost $75 billion a year.
Democrats will claim that if $3 trillion can be spent to buy Trump’s reelection, $75 billion per year can be spent on the Biden universal health care plan.
The Democratic quest for more freebies never slackens. Don’t encourage our freeloaders with more $1200 handouts.
It is outright vote buying.
I live quite well on $5000 per year.
My total income is less than $200 per year.
I get no government benefits other than Obamaphone and free local scheduled bus service.
