That’s my perspective on it - I paid far more than that in income taxes alone for 2019, so they’re just giving me back $1800 of my own money this year.
It’s redistribution. You pay far more than you get back, while some welfare queen with her 12 children get $1800 each while paying nothing into the system.
And we pay Shaniqua to do the paperwork.
I know, I’m just trying to take what solace I can in getting some of my money back. Takes (some) of the edge off when I check other forums and see people celebrating being able to blow their stimulus check on a PS5 or Baby Yoda shit or a couple ABUR duals or some other fucking nonsense.
all the people I know getting stimulus keep talking about the next toy they're going to buy with it. all of them. 100%.
Same. I used to play Magic - before the game got 'woke' this year - and saw a ton of people talking about how they were going to spend their stimulus checks on blinging out their Commander deck, buying sealed product, speculating on Reserve List cards or other stupid shit.
I don't know why it doesn't occur to any of them - the ones with jobs and income right now - to save that money for a rainy day. The last of these stimulus checks, I paid for a minor car repair I'd been putting off, then put the rest straight into my emergency fund.
But then your money is worth less because of inflation, so you might as well have lost another few percent of your entire income.
Buy gold friends. US dollar isn’t gonna be worth anything here soon.
Also enslaving our children and grandchildren to the debters.
