The economy will be over-stimulated and it will lead to inflation. But hey, Free Money!

My wife makes roughly 600 a week as a mail carrier (take home) and yet she delivers free govt UE cards with 800 a week for min wage workers to sit at home.

And you wonder why so many illegals are headed this way? Democrats are like sh*t to the flies.

This stimulus is not about helping the "common man". It is about paying back political supporters. Of the package, a relatively small percent goes to people. Dem state gov'ts are getting billions to pay for debts created by bad policies.

Broadly speaking, there are five components to the COVID-19 stimulus bill:
Category Total Amount Share of the Package
Individuals / Families $603.7 billion 30%
Big Business $500.0 billion 25%
Small Business $377.0 billion 19%
State and Local Government $340.0 billion 17%
Public Services $179.5 billion 9%
A third of the bill is money for folks. I won't get any.
I'm against all over generalizations.

You know what's silly? Apparently the government is taking 2020 tax return AGI into account when sending out new stimulus checks. I would have gotten some of the $2800 that my wife and I would be eligible for, but because I already filed my 2020 taxes that takes us over the $160K limit, I get none. So, I get punished for being a good citizen and doing my taxes early. lol.

What else is new? Ever since we became a welfare state, responsible people have been punished and irresponsible people have been rewarded. That is largely why responsible intelligent people don't have kids as much as low IQ lazy parasites living on the government. Welcome to the Idiocracy.

Why file taxes before the end of March - early April? The treasury can wait for my payment.

Back when I was dumber than I am now, I set my withholding to get me a refund, because, ya know, it's good to get a check. Over time, I realized it's better for me to hold my money, not the crooks.

They can have the $1 interest that couple months would have given me. Turns out the $1 cost me about $1400 I would have gotten from the stimulus checks between my wife and I.

I assumed this was the case and wanted to point out what you just did. You can't let the gummint have your money all year. Pay them in April what you owe. The reverse is such a waste.
