There shouldn't be any stimulus checks. The first $1,200 was a mistake and now the second $600 is just as huge of a mistake. Trump asking for $2,000 per person is insane. Giving these checks to people who will simply blow it on junk like Xboxes, iPhones, playstations, rent, food, and other bills is ridiculous. It's money down the drain and doesn't do anything to help the economy in ways that matter. This money should be going to landlords who are losing money because they had to evict tenants who lost their jobs, and they are unable to find anyone else to move into the newly vacant properties. It should go to businesses so that they can hire more people and pass some of the funds down to the new employees. It should go to investors so that they can feel confident in investing and keeping the markets moving. It should not be going to the people who will just blow it on junk I don't approve of. I am fine if it went to people who are successful, because they are the ones who have proven they know how to handle money, and it's likely they will take such money to hire people to babysit their kids and to mow their lawns. Give it to the people who matter and who will use it correctly.
What we should be doing is passing laws that encourage more jobs. That means making it so everything is opened back up immediately. Businesses that do not open up should be seized and auctioned off. We also need an emergency act that allows employers to hire new employees at wages below minimum wage and get rid of laws that require overtime pay. Gutting all of the Obamacare laws that force companies to offer insurance will also help. Encouraging companies all around to cut pay and benefits together will ensure no socialist corporation like Costco can ruin it. Perhaps even making it illegal to offer such benefits for a certain period time is needed. The same can be done by setting maximum wages on lower skilled labor jobs. I don't understand why a bagger at Costco is making $15/hr. Those need to be set to a more reasonable wage of around $5/hr at the most. This should only apply to certain low skill jobs like store clerks, burger flippers, help desk, janitors, clerks, receptionist, etc.., of course. I'm not suggesting real jobs should have such limits. But these corporations are basically implemented their own form of socialism by paying these low-skilled employees so much.
The utopian visions of Costco CEOs and the greed of the poor is destroying our economy and it will make recovery from democrat COVID crisis during President Trump's second and third terms much more difficult. The more money they pay these people, the more they have to charge for the goods and services. It's redistributing the wealth from our pockets into the pockets of the fast food workers at taco bell. I don't want to see sour cream squirters owning cars, fancy smartphones, or able to pay rent. It's literal theft from the haves to the have-nots. At the very least these limits should be imposed until 2025 and the economy is back in order during Trump's third term.
