So Who’s Going to Reject Trumps Check in the Mail?

[Mac1958]

THANK GAWD FOR BIG GUBMIT

Trumpism 2020

So Mac I take it you think it is wrong for GUBMINT to provide relief to the businesses and people they torpedoed with the China Virus shutdown order?

Nope, unlike you I am consistent.

Government often plays a role that the free market can't replicate.

I'll leave the hypocrisy to you Trumpsters: Attack the government 24/7 until you need it.

Thanks for asking!

Will you send it back?

I'll say it again:

Nope, unlike you I am consistent (although I don't I qualify for any checks).

You have it backward, Hoss. That is called projection. The question is whether Trumpers will reject the checks who say they hate socialism. Will you stay with principal and reject all government handouts or cave? What will you do? LOL..The question is rhetorical. We all know what you will do.

Don't you have to run to your goat temple and sacrifice a baby or something?
Notice how all the biggest God hating America hating cities and countries got nailed the hardest by this.

If I get anything, I plan on donating it to my local food bank.

Once again, Americans were not ready financially to handle this crisis. But then why should they, they've been trained to look to the government to save them, so it's no surprise few have enough money saved to get them through for a few months.

I applaud the first sentence but dude...

I'm about as frugal as you can get. I sank almost all of my savings into a small business that is now shuttered. By most accounts I did everything right and I'm as screwed as anyone else.

This is EXTRAORDINARY

Very few can withstand a catastrophe of this magnitude.

Thank your lucky stars if you are one who can

I wrote I had no problem with Trump's stimulus. Unlike you, I only wish the best to all Americans citizens regardless of state or party affiliation to be safe and secure.

BTW, where do you come off calling anyone godless considering your avatar is itself nothing but a pagan symbol????

 

[Blues Man]

filing jointly yes

Then one would think that you don't need that $2400 all that much...

But take heart...if you own a small business or get laid off...you will be covered.

Where did i say I needed anything?

And who is covering small businesses?

FYI having to pay interest on money the fucking government gives the SBA isn't such a great deal for small businesses.

 

[JustAnotherNut]

From what I understand of this stimulus........I won't be getting any funds either since I'm on non-taxable disability.

My 2 youngest sons, who live at home and help to cover expenses that my income don't...…...may not get anything either. Depends on which tax year they go by to determine funds. IF 2018, then neither of them will get anything cause they were both in school. IF 2019, then maybe.

#2 is still working as essential, so his income hasn't really been impacted......so that's ok too

#3 OTOH, had just started working back in Nov and was laid off earlier this month. He won't qualify for unemployment because he didn't meet the 600 hr requirement and could be SOL....unless somewhere they make adjustments for that...…..and even if they don't, we can weather thru this mess as long as it doesn't last too much longer.


#1 and step son, are still working and has been for years, they will probably benefit from this package, even though their income hasn't been effected.

Step daughter has been working for a few years, but was just given notice her job is closing and not sure if temporary or permanent yet. She's a single parent and only income for herself, granddaughter and her mother(my ex's other ex) who lives with them. She will benefit in this and rightly so, but only herself & granddaughter. Her mom won't be included because she hasn't worked for a couple of years. But atleast they will get something and Step daughter will probably get unemployment as well.


The one part that doesn't make sense, unless I misunderstood it...........is how #1 & stepson getting funds when their jobs/income hasn't been impacted??? And depending on what tax year they go by and if they relax unemployment rules, neither of the youngest and especially #3 will get anything. Somehow DC got this upside down.

Breathe. I'm pretty sure all the people mentioned will get a check,

As I said, I'm not too worried about any of us. Though I do question the distribution of this package considering there are some groups of the population that will fall thru the cracks and not be helped, while others that aren't really impacted will.

Which of you Democrats will abide by your principles and reject the check from the orange blob?

Show of hands please.

And just like that, Trump supporters and conservatives are OK with socialism. Thanks for finally stepping up and putting to rest that four decade old charade that conservatives are for fiscal responsibility. You guys spend money like drunken sailors. You put a liberal to shame...and at least they're up front about spending money.

Nope....this is means tested .... Not even close to being socialism.

Where did i say I needed anything?

Sorry if I misunderstood. It appeared so. The $2400 I get will not save my business and I have enough cash top get me by for now.. I plan on distributing it to my laid of employees

And who is covering small businesses?

Huh? The $350B will go a long way towards that. Wish it were more

FYI having to pay interest on money the fucking government gives the SBA isn't such a great deal for small businesses.

It most certainly is if it replaces high interest short term debt with low interest long term debt.

My business was carrying about $140K in short term debt (a big chunk of which would have been gone by August had this not happened). If I could get $250K in 3,75% 30 year term debt...it would cost only $1200/month...that would work. It would remove the bulk of the short term debt and pay rent,utilities and payroll for at least 4 months.

I'm not a democrat but I will reject it. I don't want it. I don't need it.

The bush boy sent out 2 checks. I got one of them. I didn't want it so I donated it to charity.

Which is what I will do with this check if I get one.

I don't want or need the money so I will give it to the charity I found when I got one of the bush boy's checks. An organization that does nothing but pay for abortions and help women get to a state where they can have one.

So your tax dollars will pay for some abortions. Again.

If you really don't want it, then cash the check, and write another one to the federal treasury. I'm sure they won't reject it.

I really don't want it.

I know that you believe everyone who doesn't believe as you do doesn't make much of any money. Or maybe it's that you think since you don't make much money, most everyone else who isn't rich, is the same as you.

Either one, I'm not like you. I succeeded in my career and was able to retired financially independent when I was 54 years old.

Just who do you think you are that you think you can tell me what to do with that check? It has my name on it so I can do whatever I want with it.

I will do what I did in the bush boy years. Send it to an organization that all they do is pay for abortions and help women get to a state where they can have one. Then this time next year, I'm going to deduct that money from my taxes as a charitable contribution.

I enjoy knowing that tax dollars are paying for several abortions against your will.

I'm just making a suggestion on what you can do if you don't want it. Just give it back. What's the difference if you use the money for yourself or somebody else? You're still cashing the check, and you're still spending government money.

If I get a check, I read those who make up to 75 grand a year will get one. If that's true, I won't get one.

When I got that insult of a check from the bush boy in his first round of sending out checks, I was insulted. I didn't need the money and believed that sending out that check to me while the bush boy gave the filthy rich billions was an insult to me and those who weren't filthy rich.

So I thought what would be an insult to the bush boy and conservatives? Sending that money to be spent only on an abortion. I know how much you hypocrites hate abortion so I found an organization that all they do is pay for. abortions and help women get to states where they can have one. I've been donating money to that organization every year since that first bush boy check,

I turned what I considered an insult into something that was needed and helped women.

I also enjoy knowing how much you people hate tax dollars to pay for abortions, that some federal tax dollars go to paying for abortions.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to laugh at you people.

Enjoy knowing tax dollars are paying for several abortions and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it.

We don't know what you're spending it on, nor do we care. And to be totally honest, nearly every liberal on this forum is either independently wealthy, has their own business, or retired early. Me? I'm the only truck driver in the place.

So when leftists tell me they have all this money, forgive me if I don't quite believe it. Because I find it ironic that most of the self-proclaimed wealthy people on this board are for higher taxes, especially on the wealthy, more government handouts, and forced higher pay for menial labor.

I agree. Most on line pretend to be something they aren't.

I'm not like that.

I spent 35 years photographing the greatest musicians of our lifetime on and off stage. I'm a former photographer for the original owners of the Gorge Amphitheater, Rolling Stone Magazine, former photographer for the House of Blues Concerts and technically still a photographer for Getty Images. I haven't done a job with them in about 5 years. They sell my work. I receive royalties from those sales.

I've been published in every major publication on the planet including the New York Times. I'm a member of the media you and trump love to hate. There are just too many media outlets I've been published in or worked with to list in a message box. I've worked with actors, writers, directors and producers since I was the photographer for the Seattle International Film Festival for nearly a decade. Here's some of my work in order they appear, Sting, Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Rod Stewart, Carlos Santana, Mike Stipe of REM, Roger Waters of Pink Floyd.

I was the first person who bands and their managers or PR people contacted to work with when they came to my area. I've worked with two members of the band the Beatles. I've worked with Paul McCartney 3 times. The last time I was chosen over the house photographer. The house photographer wasn't allowed to photograph the show or spend the day with McCartney. Only I was.

Who is your favorite musician or band? There's a very good chance I've worked with them. If you like I can post my list of musicians I've worked with. There's over 500 names on that list and most I've worked with more than once.

because trump should not be allowed to profit from his position ...now fuck off

How is he profiting any more than any other business?

Or, is his businesses the only business receiving help?

Did he put that in the bill being passed by the Senate?

Did anyone put in the bill that Trumps properties receive special attention?

Are any of those other business owners signing the bill into law?

are you really that paranoid about Trump?

Paranoid? Where does bullshit come from? That's just saying stupid stuff.

Do you not recognize the obvious and inherent conflict of interest in signing legislation that benefits one personally? That's what conflict of interest means.

not stupid at all.

you seem to be claiming Trump wanted this bill so his businesses wouldn't go under.

It covers ALL business.

Government employees or not.

your 'distaste' of Trump is clouding common sense.

The OP asks, 'who is going to reject Trump's checks?' I said, "Not Trump". I also said his conflict of interest couldn't be explained to you - for which you've offered abundant evidence.

I said, "Not Trump

Why should he?

I don't "seem to be claiming" a fucking thing.

I also said his conflict of interest couldn't be explained to you

You are claiming Trump should exempt his businesses from the funds available to assist them in staying solvent.

Should every Congressperson exempt themselves from those same funds, for the same reason?

Should they allow their businesses enter bankruptcy, because they were involved with the passing of this bill.

Apparently, it's in the bill that government officials, and other entities, will not be allowed funds.

Senate coronavirus bill prohibits Trump's hotels from receiving bailouts

The measure was added in the portion of the bill aimed at helping distressed industries with at least $450 billion in loans.

Cool. That's news to me. Maybe those who wrote it understand 'conflict of interest', and legislated accordingly.

How can it be a "conflict of Interest" when it was CONGRESS who formulated and passed the legislation?

It appears Congress took care of that issue, but I assume you're aware the President signs legislation into law. That signature certainly makes him a party to the process.

Right...

I know it's right. It's Trump's words.

So, in your opinion, pulled out of your ass as usual,

Again, I literally relayed Trump's words to you. There was no opinion there. Try to focus.

is that he will veto this bill, until he gets a provision to fund his own properties?

You seem pretty confused. There are not specific provisions in the bill for the funds that may go to his properties. That's why Trump cannot rule out personally benefitting from the funds. You really need to catch up.

Well said. And not one of them will turn down the money either. It's no different than other parts of the social safety net the government, through our tax dollars, provides.

Maybe next time people sneer at folks getting health insurance benefits, food stamps, CHIP, housing assistance - they should take a look at the check they're getting from the government.

Which kind of makes me wonder. Should recipients be drug tested?
