Biden’s plan to take most of our new promised stimulus checks

[Saltwater60]

Biden has already indicated that he is open to “redrawing the lines” of stimulus qualifications. This stalks about capping it at $78,000/year/household. That’s dog shit pay. I’m sure I’ll get screwed out of it even though we were all promised it.
They of course are blaming the republicans for not wanting to spend the monet but if you remember that wasn’t what the republicans said. Who’s keeping track though.

Fewer American households should receive $1,400 checks, study suggests | Fox Business

Higher-income households were less likely to spend the $600 checks.

I don't count on getting anything .gov tells me I'm going to get some day. Not stimulus, not healthcare, and not social security.

OK, one more time.

keep your "stimulus" AND OPEN THE ECONOMY, OPEN ALL BUISNESS.

Then no one will need a government handout, will they.

GOD, politicians are just shit-fucking stupid

Oh Cuomo agrees today. The holiday CV surge is over so we can open up now?? Or is it political and Biden’s in office hmmm.

Oh, I'm quite certain it has most to do with your last sentence. Even Uncle Joe is saying that he can't do shit about the virus (after promising that he'll end it after taking office).

Guys like you and me who work for a living aren't getting shit (relatively speaking at least). You can count on the fact that we'll be paying for all this though.

No such thing as a free lunch, regardless of how much money the Treasury orders printed.

There are a lot of knuckle heads who spent "their" $2K before the first $600 showed up.

I can't imagine being retired and being fully reliant on the SS check every month.

No joke. My mom showed me her SS check she just got the other day and said "Can you imagine living just on this." And this is a woman who had a halfway decent job for most of her life. Not lucrative but helped pay the bills.

Not a friggin chance. And when I retire in 30 years (God willing) I have no expectation that SS will even be around.

I pride myself on limiting my knuckle head tendencies. Hence why I have other investments to help with retirement. Assuming Uncle Joe, the Hoe, and the Bernie Bros don't seize it first.

No, they’re not stupid. They know exactly what they’re buying with their give away tactics. Why do you think they are kicking around the idea of such a low cap? They are very Smarmy little fucks .

Maybe it'll be them and maybe it won't but someone of their ilk will absolutely find a way to squeeze whatever we have squirreled away for our winter years.

Liberals are going to crash this economy.. If you pay attention they are telling you.. No one will own anything..

We will open a topic in the survival situation on how to survive a depression. .. And live to tell about it.

 

[Celt]

Democrats say- here is your 1600 stimulus check, by the way I'm raising taxes on anyone that makes over 75k a year so you'll be paying about 5000 more a year in income tax. (Random numbers to make a point).

This will put America, China, and Russia against each other and China will win. We will not win.

The stimulous money is just gravy for people on public assistance and I assume it's spent immediately rather than save some. Monetarilly the pandemic has no affect on that class.

In theory it should be spent immediately. Saving some does stimulate the economy. The issue is none of it will go to rent or anything useful. I bought a new tankless hot water heater with mine. I wanted to buy a gun but priorities right? My old tank was 24 years old and starting to leak with a very rusty burner. I was going to be taking cold showers soon.

That is one of the smartest uses of the money i heard of yet. The first stimulus check paid for my front and back porch begin fixed and leveled. Good job using it wisely.

30 years ago the Japanese economy was booming and the biggest reason given at the time was more people were saving money in banks...getting a good interest rate, and the Banks were doing more loans. What interest rate is out there today on a normal savings account...crap..because the government is giving loans to the banks at zero. So why give depositors anything is the answer. Trump was even going to the neg side and then banks would charge to handle depositors money. What a place this America!!

Understood. But I assume You are a working person.independent of Government freebies. Understood the hot water tank but many working people save a bit for a rainy day or that hot water tank. Not on body piecings..tattoo's...jewelry...high priced clothes...and then want their offspring fed by the schools....or given coats...school supplies...I could go on

Seriously?

These "stimulus" payments have largely gone to the middle class whether they needed them or not. From the start through now.
