Stimulus checks for all Americans?
« on: March 20, 2020, 11:15:08 am »
Do you think they'll really do this? I said "LOL yeah right" when I first heard the idea, but it sounds like they might actually be considering it. Last night my local news said the amounts they are discussing are $1200 for singles $2400 for couples.

That really would be helpful for the many who have lost their jobs.   :notworthy:

It would be helpful but by the time they decide and actually send anything most of the people who lost their jobs will be in a big financial hole.

God bless Andrew Yang who put this idea (outlandish as it sounded when he first proposed it) into people's minds. I hope they do figure out a way to help those in need. I wasn't one of those in serious need.  But now that my workload is starting to peter out I may become one of them. One good thing is that I already work from home. And FC was a nice icing on the cake to help pay for unforeseen bills and extras.

I just cashed out yesterday and it made me happy to know at least I'd be getting something in April. If my jobs dry out completely, I'm doomed.

So, good luck to everyone. And stay safe!

The auto and airline industries are getting nice fat bailouts! I think the American people need the money way more than those two economic giants. Will Uncle Sam bail us out? I'm not going to hold my breath.

Liked Andrew yang too. Would love to get a check. Have plans already. They vote on Monday think it's a go. Many are out of work and will need it.

I truly hope that we do receive the stimulus checks, sounds like it's going to happen.  It would be a blessing for so many that are desperate for funds.

It sounds like $1000 for adults, $500 for kids, with incomes less than $75000 based on 2018 income....anything higher than that income means less of a check, and I think if you have less than a certain income you don't get a check either....they're talking about doing this in April and May, which would be a nice little reprieve that's for sure....

believe it or not, this is similar to what they did in 2008, it's just it took longer to implement and was a smaller amount...

I think they should just give every adult $10,000 each and tell them to spend wisely because that's it...but what do I know?

They could give you a million dollars and you would still find something to cry about.  The first pay out will be in April.  This is almost the end of March.  They done the same thing a few years ago but it was only $600 or so.
