“Non-citizens would be ineligible, LMAO, sure, nod nod, wink wink!”

The fact they even have to mention that they are excluded is pure insanity. Are you telling me that we have ever knowingly handed out incentives to non-citizens?!?

Typical. Government creates the problem, and then government comes to our “rescue” with government spending that will only make the government-created problem worse.

Remember when used gear bought on Ebay and most
imported used gear was sans sales tax.

Remember when internet interstate sales were not
taxed last year.

These are 2 reasons for the high inflation.
States got a windfall and we all got 8 percent
additional inflation.

From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.

(Of course, the Dems’ lunatic money printing and their suicidal energy policies created the “need”.)

Oh and of course, middle income folks get reduce payment. Middle class getting hammered as they don’t get all the additional dollars on EBT cards. Michigan Gov wants to give anyone working 500.00 payment because of the billions of extra Federal dollars we received because of long lock down during COVID. I bet that will be income limited to 40K and below as well.

At any rate, giving more money to folks isn’t the answer, it’s Biden’s policies and the reversals of Trump’s.

Only Fools believe there are no consequences for bad actions like this (What did they think was going to happen when you increased the monetary supply by 40% in two years?)
We live in a nation of fools. God help us.

1. Create billions of dollars out of thin air.
2. Inflation increases drastically.
3. Create billions of dollars out of thin air.
4. Goto 2.

Fuel and Food are pretty much 100% of my daily purchases.

Both are really energy with additives.

I’m sure you can sell it at a discount somewhere for hard cash to buy hard drugs. Happens all the time with EBT card money.

They are following a different monetary policy.

I read about it some months ago and thought it was crazy. But it looks like they are serious about following it. It is based around the theory that money is not finite or limited as long as there is production and inflation does not truly factor into the policy. It comes from the American concept to “make money.”

The problem with the theory is the government cannot just keep creating money and hoping that something of value comes from making it ‘easy’ to get. It takes real innovation to add value to the concept of making money. History teaches us the only way for government to make money is to be constantly at war. #ukrainethat
