Yet, Democrats want to increase that, Republicans are the ones preventing that and who's the party you call out? Democrats. And, for the record, I completely agree with you that $600 is a complete insult. I've posted to that effect before. If only we knew which party was keeping that dollar value down. I'm not defensive. I don't particularly care whether you like Democrats or not. I was just pointing out your hypocrisy (explained again above) and wondering why you pretend your takes are anything beyond "I hate Democrats." Even when they either agree with you, or are the party closest to what you're saying, you still try to figure out how the Democrats are to blame.
The increase to $2000 passed the house. Wonder if it will pass the senate. Going to have a big impact on the senate elections in Georgia in a few days
It won't have any impact on the election. Conservative voters who vote mostly on the day of election are just going to blame the dems and vote for the gop candidates. The dems votes have already largely been cast in early voting prior to the bill.
The main frustration for ME personally, is I dont get any of this money. Which in general I agree with - no question, give to those in need first. But they base it off of 2019 or 2018? not sure. And in those two years I did well. 2020 has been a SHIT SHOW for me and my family. So the reason for this stimulus is the year 2020 and the virus, but i am being treated like its a virus free 2019 or 2018, whichever it is. I havent dug into this to see if this is still the case, but I think it is. Not everyone makes the same amount of money or has the same job every year for their entire lives.
The stimulus is based off income, and also if single, married, with kids etc. I just don’t meet any threshold. But doesn’t mean I couldn’t use the money.
They put too much effort into trying to make sure someone, who they think doesn't need it, won't get it. It ends up hurting a lot of people in the grey area, when who really cares is Jeff Bezos gets a few extra bucks he won't need?
Moscow Mitch says there is no path to the senate floor for the increase form $600 to $2000 stimulus payments. He is attaching Trumps demand of the repeal of section 230 to it so it is dead on arrival. Once again Mitch puts Trump ahead of the people of this country. How does he keep getting voted in?
That is because A LOT of people made up fake businesses and scammed for the PPE loans. The IRS and feds need to go after all the scammers. They took advantage of that money that was meant for legit small businesses. I hope they get all the punishment
