Really?

If we are talking about the $100k threshold for people that receive checks, you have to figure in the geographic cost of living - how much costs are for a particular area.

Top 1% is significantly higher than $100k btw. A family income is $80,663 according to the US Census Department. This is a very recent document (updated June 2020).

Asian families have a median income of $87,164 (from the same document).

You are also not factoring in the type of job people have, or length of experience, or full-time vs. part-time.

To which the reply would be to point at the Democrats and send the money hungry mobs after *them*.

Just remember - you can’t out-pander the Democrats.

How about just telling the bums to put on their big boy panties and go back to work.

“He wants us to prepare.”

I think you are right. I know some that used the last one to buy guns and ammo.

If we get this one we will prepare in other ways.

If the Democrats are blocking it and the Senate has recessed until September 14 then what is Mnuchin supposed to be getting ready for? Can’t send it out without passing the legislation.

This is over the line for this die hard Trump supporter.

No POTUS has the authority to issue payments the Congress has not authorized.

Clearly, indisputably illegal and unconstitutional.

I guess they’ll just have to impeach him again./s

According to Investopedia, the income levels for top 0.1%, 1%, 5%, and 10% are:

$2,808,104 (0.1%)

$737,697 (1%)

$309,348 (5%)

$158,002 (10%)

Source: https://www.investopedia.com/personal-finance/how-much-income-puts-you-top-1-5-10/

So, when you responded to that other poster, were you saying that he/she earns more than $737,697? How do you know this?

Or were you just talking out your @$$ with your insulting comment? And who TF are you to decide if somebody gets a check or not?

My understanding is that the money has already been authorized by Congress. This is coming out of the unused funds from the last “COVID bill.”

Please stop your whining and read the details of these things before reflexively venting about them.

Thank you for that post. I often read these threads and often hope for some practicality among the hyperbole. I’m not the most financially literate person by any means, but what you posited seems like common sense. It will be rough for folks on fixed incomes, but those of us still working and living beneath our means may still muddle through.

On the path to Universal Basic Income.

We already give universal basic income to the countries we invade and “nation build”. Conservatives usually don’t complain

They should be TAX REFUNDS (or better tax cuts) or else it’s just funny money from the Treasury printing presses that inflates the money supply, lowers the value of the dollar, and after awhile doesn’t help anyone.

“Pelosi and Schumer have your money”.

In a political sense it is kind of brilliant.

Probably. Next to impossible to come by, guns getting scarce, too. Spouse checks every day.

The President just said Congress was holding the $$$ up. No one is whining.

Thank you for the information. I did not know that.

This is brilliant on Trump’s part. Another swipe of the sword toward Pelosi’s and Schumer’s knees (figuratively, of course).
