I have directed @stevenmnuchin1 to get ready to send direct payments ($3,400 for family of four) to all Americans. DEMOCRATS ARE HOLDING THIS UP!

He wants us to buy ammo.
close to back where they were but at the time of the stimulus check we were way down. The rest of my family had no change at all to their income
Then there was a good reason.
“Whose gonna pay for that?”
We’re helping people who need help now. We’ll pay for the help over the next few years either with existing money or new money (inflation).
I don’t mind giving the help. I’m even receiving help that I didn’t ask for and don’t need. As an aside, I’m not giving it back.
I think $1200 x2 + $500 X 2 = $3400
You made a good point
At the current price of silver, that 20 pounds sterling is about $9000 a year. I don’t know if in Bronte’s time, a pound sterling’s value was actually 1 pound of sterling silver. I know that at one point in history, it was.
Yeah, I’ve had my eye on a new 65” flat screen and $1,200 will more than cover it.
I bought a new Winchester 350 Legend with the last one, and it is shooting 3/4” groups @ 100 yds.
Hell, I was already doing that. Just waiting for all the parts to get here so I can begin assembling an AR pistol. I got lucky and found someone with a Bravo Company upper on the shelf.
Except it was approved by Congress last time, so it actually got paid.
I suppose it’s not considered “socialism” as long as Trump’s signature is on the checks.
Evil Democrats, starving all of the babies in poor families, so they can get even bigger bucks for overpaid government employees in big cities!
The democrats are trying to create as much pain as possible for election purposes. The President is thwarting that by easing that pain a little, stimulating the economy and not creating any long term policy.
Deal making and politically this is great. Puts the dems on the hot seat.
I know that at one point in history, it was.
That was before Soro’s war on British currency. I’m buying silver up at these low prices. I still seem to shy away from the paper currency though, unless its T.P. ;)

Just like the last time, up to $1200 per individual plus $500 per child. Family of four, $1200 husband, $1200 wife, $500 first child, $500 second child. Total $3400.
OBTW, Trump needs congressional approval to do this. Rumors are dems agree with these checks and more aid to small businesses.
I get that part. I suggested Trump put out a list of UI, eviction, and direct payments back when the Senate and the House were jerking off.
The way the tweet is worded is the issue. Directing Mnuchin to get ready to send payments sounds like Trump is doing this on his own. We understand what hes saying, but theres too many idiots and morons trying to be idiots out there that could take advantage of the confusion. Similar to the way they intentionally confuse absentee and bulk mail ballots.
Giv’em something to scream about...
You made my first pint! Thanks! Glad they arent getting a check.
