The survey found 63 percent of respondents said they agree—with 42 percent saying they "strongly agree"—when asked if the federal government should issue new stimulus checks to tackle inflation.

A better headline would be, "Vast majority of Americans favor Zimbabwe economics." You don't combat inflation by creating more fiat currency.
Biden's communications team relied on that ignorance of economics and history when they took credit for the largest social security increase in decades, which was entirely due to inflation. Fortunately, Elon Musk allowed Twitter users to call out the Biden Administration's nonsense.

This is why democracy is referred to as mob rule. Inflation is already out of control so why not throw some more fuel onto the fire.
Not that our elected representatives have been doing a much better job combating inflation.

Disgusting.
Americans have too much become communists.
Money for nothing is what they want.
Now, COVID checks were OK because the gov was forcing people to lose their livelihoods.
Otherwise, basically wrong.

Morons. If this actually happens, take your stimulus check and short the market. Look into things like SQQQ where you can short the Nasdaq 100.
