Yeah, you need to do conspicuous spending. When W tried it the plan backfired because it all went into paying down existing debt. If it’s going to do anything it needs to be spend on new things to drive the economy.

Ya, I’m in a similar boat. I got about $640 the first round, nothing the second, and they just cut me out of this one. I don’t “need” the money as bad as someone who lost their job this year, but I’m certainly not in an income bracket where I couldn’t “use” the money. The real problem here is that the income level they

I had a guy walk up to me with a stack of hundred dollar bills. He didn’t say how much he had, but based on my own experience, he had at least $2500-3000 on him. He was just handing them out, and I was so surprised I didn’t even answer him when he offered it to me. For a brief moment I thought it might be fake, but

Also, income isn’t everything. I have a good friend who makes significantly less than me (I was in her position before my current one and she has told me what she makes). She has a very small amount of debt, lives with her partner in a $650/month apartment, and her main expense up until a year ago was gas for her

I absolutely agree with your last paragraph, specifically the last sentence.

I think giving it to someone who needs it more is a great thing to do, and will also help stimulate the economy.

The thing is that it isn’t really about any *particular* wealth range. I live in San Francisco, got a job at the tail end of last year that pays more than well enough that the stimulus isn’t necessary to me, but since I didn’t get hired until late late in the year, I didn’t make enough money to get classed out.

As B’dilliBay said above - it’s a stimulus, so if your family went and spent it on non-essential items it’s still working. 

Which shows how far-right wingnut the modern GOP has become, by comparison.

Moderate Democrats are conservatives.

I just hope they stop using the Playstation Camera and Move controllers. It was convenient that they were able to use existing hardware, but those things are wildly inaccurate in some setups.

I mean, it’s ted cruz, a literal tapeworm that just fell out of donald trump’s asshole after four years.

No, just disgusted.

I am so confused. Ted Cruz is evil, but he’s not stupid. And this is just so obviously the absolute last thing someone in his position should be doing during a historic disaster in his home state.

Am I really supposed to be surprised right now?

I mean, he’s definitely stupid.

And it was bullshit.

Yeah, it’s an abject lesson in hypocrisy. Fraud and market manipulation and supposedly ‘crimes’ but what would the stock market be without that? They got out played at their own games and now they’re flipping the board.

And only being blocked because hedge funds stand to lose billions.

I’m right here with you!

Congress better get in on this STAT. Come on Biden/Harris. Harris can do for retail investors what she did for homeowners wrongfully foreclosed on. This is the financial elite flexing on the swelling masses. Plain and simple.
