Jayson Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 They plan to give everyone, aside from doctors, billionaires etc.. around $1,000, maybe more I think. Do you think this will heal the economic fallout? Well, it seems like even Republicans are backing this - possibly cause the economy will tank - without government intervention.

SaucyPastaTho Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Actually it's 1,200 for single males/females and 3k for couples. Sounds good but in reality it might pay a bill or 2 and a few groceries considering shopping can get quite expensive. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 They're not giving it. They're loaning it. And we will have to pay it back with a minimum of 100% interest. So basically if we get $1000, we will have to pay the government back $2000. It's a way to screw the citizens. It's not helping anyone, it's crippling those of us who can barely support ourselves even further. Reality vs Adventure and StaceyPowers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 It was in my news feed on my phone. I get a bunch of stories from different sources. Things like The Huffington Post, CNN, The Washington Post, and other news outlets. I honestly don't remember which one it was that I read that on.

I doubt that I mean we probably would have to pay taxes on the free money, but not interest, mostly interest-free payments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead2009 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Nothing is ever truly free when it comes to money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Saru Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 The free cash transfer has never helped anyone in the long run. Countries like Canada and Spain had tried this model and they have failed. Its just not the answer for our economic fallout. Stimulus is. Money isnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 It helped me immensely. I've been able to pay off several debts, pick up a few things I needed, and have some money left over. Those of us that are disabled have been helped more than you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomb Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Us government have done a great things to have provide some cash and reduces tax to the citizen of their nation. It will be good if other countries can manage to do that. This is the time citizens need special treatment from their government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be good if other countries can manage to do that. This is the time citizens need special treatment from their government. As a super power, the USA has fallen behind in the world in helping its citizens during coronavirus. The government has deliberately let the virus get out of control for 2 reasons: 1: to use as warfare against major U.S. cities which are largely democratic hoping to spur on deaths before the election to help the chances of rural swing states to get a majority vote; 2: to sabotage a democratic presidency in case of a republican loss. Most coronavirus relief went to corporations and hand pick companies due to conflicts of interest. Farmers got 3 bailouts now due to a trade war with China that never should have happened. The government has refused in their own words on camera to help citizens any more with stimulus whether it be a check or unemployment extensions. I'll be surprised if a second stimulus is passed to help struggling people and not corporations. But it would have to be passed by going around trump's veto. Cause we all know that guy won't pass it unless his personal interests get some of the money. The Blackangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
