Here's what bugs me.
Many of us will get a couple thousand bucks. I don't need it. I'm still employed. My paychecks are still coming every two weeks. I'm paying my mortgage, I'm paying my bills, I'm buying groceries. You give me a check for $2K I'll just put it in savings or pay off debt. It won't do anything for me, or the economy. Nothing.
There is an element to this that boosts unemployment payments $600 a month. Now THAT is who needs it. And if I lose my job, that's when I will need it too. Not until then. But $600 a month is not going to do anything. The unemployed should receive the BULK of this stimulus, not a fraction. Well you could donate it to a worthy cause, my wife and I have already discussed it, and have decided. Planned Parenthood, with special recognition to Mike Pence, want them to send him a Thank You note for his help.

Yall could send it to cookeville Tn to help with tornado damage. Imagine losing everything you have then being told a week later to stay in whatever you were able to track down for living arangments indefinatly. I’m sure sticking it to Mike Pence might be fun but I can give you names and stories of people who are way worse off then an organization that already lives off of .gov payments.@BigAl99 said:
Or a local food bank to help do what it was intended to do in the first place...@MaroonBells said:

How about a lady that couldnt afford her property insurance and dropped it 2 weeks prior to our tornado?
Maybe one of the 200+ who lost everything?
I’m serious. If you need a tragic story, Ive got dozens.
