Why do some people get stimulus checks while others only pay for it?

[Smokin' OP]

750,000 people filed for unemployment insurance last WEEK.

Its not an emergency thst more helicopter money can fix

open up all the businesses

its the only way to get the economy moving again

"Open all businesses"?
Where are the customers coming from?
The food line or the unemployment line?
They have plenty of "customers" in morgues, all around the country, not good tippers, though.

Couldn't you make the point this is worse than Welfare? How about socialism by leveling the playing fields affecting the poor and middle class only? That is unless you're dumb enough to believe the very wealthy pay for something. They sure as fuck don't, only the middle class and poor do. Consider this:

Person A earned 30K in 2018. They rec'd a big raise in 2019, and earned 50K. What an improvement and the future looks bright, and they're also eligible for a COVID entitlement just cuz.

Person B earned 70K in 2019, so they're not eligible for a COVID entitlement.

Person C earns more on unemployment than they did working, and received $3K more income for the year 2019. Eligible for a COVID entitlement.

Person D only likes to work part-time @ $50 an hour. Eligible for a COVID entitlement.

All will pay principle & interest & more (e.g., inflation & higher taxes) for "entitlements" of which only three receive benefit.

Also, which of those four scenarios deserves a COVID entitlement and why?

.....and--federal workers are getting MORE than everyone else!!!!!!! THEY should've be laying off them mofos long ago ---the government is in huge debt--

Paid To Stay Homeâ Coronavirus Aid Bill Pays Federal Employees With Kids Out Of School Up To $21K

It is funded through a new $570 million family leave account exclusively for federal workers. Critics call it a personal bailout for bureaucrats.

Naturally, after 4 years, wing nuts are worried about the debt but said nothing when Dotard signed the $1.8 trillion Cares Act bill, nor the $2.3 trillion funding and relief bill in December,

Wing nuts didn't say a word that Mnuchin had a $500 billion corporate trust fund with Mnuchin over seeing it's disbursal.

Now they cry.

would that be like, lets say 25% of xidens chinese flu bill, going out of AMERICA to say, repair some ship in sri lanka? or some other shit hole that has nothing to do with the chinese flu in AMERICA, something like that? right?

Hypothetically, yes.

Trump's bill included payments to churches and foreign aid.
They don't pay US taxes.

Religious organizations, having received as much as $10 billion in the first round of COVID-19 aid, hope to receive more funding under any new relief package.


Churches of all denominations and other religious nonprofits were quick to take advantage of the Paycheck Protection Program, which provided forgivable loans under the CARES Act in March. The U.S. Catholic Church alone received at least $1.4 billion in funding and possibly as much as $3.5 billion under the program, using data provided by the Small Business Administration (SBA).

Uncle Sam is about to play Santa for America — and the world.
Congress passed a $2.3 trillion COVID-19 relief and government funding bill that gives just $600 to most Americans struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic — while doling out gifts to foreign countries .

$500 million earmarked for Israeli defense purchases, including to equip the Iron Dome missile defense system.
$1.4 billion for a construction of a wall on the southern US border.
Mexico is sending the check?
$10 million for “gender programs” meant to help women get education and start businesses in Pakistan.

Welcome to Socialism, which works great until they run out of other people's money or until no one will continue to fund their nation / self-destroying deficit spending.

Just a continuation of socialism under Trump.

Open all businesses"?
Where are the customers coming from?

You could be right

the lockdown may have permanently crippled the US economy to the point of no return

because thowing free money at workers will not make them return to their jobs till the free money runs out

Unemployment doesn't work that way, moron.
You must actively seek work or the checks stop.
So, all workers would rather collect unemployment rather than make two to three times that by working?
Only a moron, would do that.

Hardly.

Lowest unemployment rate in decades.
Lowest minority unemployment rate in US history.
Most Americans working at 1 time in US history
Millions of Americans OFF of socialist Dem-run Welfare, food stamps, etc...freed from the Democrat 'plantations' and policies of economic slavery


The Democrats, knowing they had to destroy the US economy and devastate Americans, to return them to those plantations, making them once again dependent on Democrat socialist hand-outs to survive, countered with oppressive, Un-Constitutional and illegal mandates (many of which were overturned by the USSC) that destroyed / eliminated over 50% of minority-owned small businesses in the US, put MILLIONS of Americans out of work, and forced them back onto unemployment....their surrogate domestic terrorists looted, pillaged, burned, and destroyed small businesses...and lives....Biden put tens of thousands of Americans out of work in his 1st 10 days in office while putting millions more on notice by declaring war against the fossil fuel industries (while surrendering energy independence and making our enemies stronger)...

Where Trump actually helped make America and Americans stronger / great again, Biden and Democrats have laid waste to the US economy, waged war against successful Americans, sacrificed our energy independence, made our enemies stronger, made Americans poorer and weaker...Democrats have literally murdered tens of thousands of Americans through failed policies, incompetence, and failed leadership...and have made themselves stronger through oppressive, criminal, Un-Constitutional acts.

I didn't read all this gibberish. What trump did was to incur unintended consequences, none of it good since he didn't look at the big picture, or doesn't know how to look at the big picture. He tells you want to know and you eat it for lunch, and now we are facing a recession.

How much did Richard earn 2018-2019? Zero - STOP

If you 'programmers' were so good at what you do, we system administrators wouldn't be spending half our time fixing your shit.

Your attitude shows why so many applications need so many patches and upgrades - why there's a need for testing & UAT system before your work goes production.

You think you know everything about everything, but when it gets to the real world it craps out.

Computers only do simple things dumbass - but they do millions of simple things a second.

It's taken hundreds of thousands of programmers their entire careers to bring computer systems and applications to the current level of sophistication.

If you think you could write a program that could take into account the financial status of every American and was absolutely fair to everyone, you're out of your freakin' mind.

Couldn't you make the point this is worse than Welfare? How about socialism by leveling the playing fields affecting the poor and middle class only? That is unless you're dumb enough to believe the very wealthy pay for something. They sure as fuck don't, only the middle class and poor do. Consider this:

Person A earned 30K in 2018. They rec'd a big raise in 2019, and earned 50K. What an improvement and the future looks bright, and they're also eligible for a COVID entitlement just cuz.

Person B earned 70K in 2019, so they're not eligible for a COVID entitlement.

Person C earns more on unemployment than they did working, and received $3K more income for the year 2019. Eligible for a COVID entitlement.

Person D only likes to work part-time @ $50 an hour. Eligible for a COVID entitlement.

All will pay principle & interest & more (e.g., inflation & higher taxes) for "entitlements" of which only three receive benefit.

Also, which of those four scenarios deserves a COVID entitlement and why?

.....and--federal workers are getting MORE than everyone else!!!!!!! THEY should've be laying off them mofos long ago ---the government is in huge debt--

Paid To Stay Homeâ Coronavirus Aid Bill Pays Federal Employees With Kids Out Of School Up To $21K

It is funded through a new $570 million family leave account exclusively for federal workers. Critics call it a personal bailout for bureaucrats.

Naturally, after 4 years, wing nuts are worried about the debt but said nothing when Dotard signed the $1.8 trillion Cares Act bill, nor the $2.3 trillion funding and relief bill in December,

Wing nuts didn't say a word that Mnuchin had a $500 billion corporate trust fund with Mnuchin over seeing it's disbursal.

Now they cry.
