President order's money for all
my wife just told me Trump announced he wanted every american to get money from the government with in two weeks and it would be a substantial amount more details to follow but I did read the stock market jumped over the news
remember the old song " golden earring ? "I think did it "money for nothing and chicks for free" ( guess I just have to settle for the money )

The actual mount is still in question: $850-1000 are the figure I've seen quoted. I seem to remember a similar handout back in 2008, but I made too much money (in whose opinion?) and didn't get a dime. I doubt I'll see a check this time around either. I do like being able to defer paying my federal taxes until July. 3 -

1K . WTH are they thinking? 1K will last people a week maybe? They have no way to determine who needs it so it goes to all!
I don't need it but of course I ain't going to refuse it unless refusing it buys me tax immunity for the debt it is going to expand. Seriously CEO people making a million plus going to get 1K ? Might stimulate the economy slightly or increase tp sales.

I like the sound of that. I suspect that there will be "means test" and many of us won't get a penny, much less $1K. If I can't qualify for cash, I'd gladly settle for a $1,000 credit against this years taxes.mogley98 said:it buys me tax immunity for the debt it is going to expand.

They need to double or triple the size of the new one dollar bills "Red Backs" with a collage pic of all the commie/nazi/socialist thugs on the front. It will make good toilet paper from the gubernment.
I'll gladly pay you 100,000 next decade for a 1,000 today.0 -
Cash for clunkers was the last scam they played. 0 -
O.K. Everyone put on their thinking caps. What crisis can we have next year to keep that free government money coming? I seem to recall that people were upset about the $400 or so they got during the big recession turned out to be taxable. Does some unemployed welfare collector get this also? Doesn't seem to me their income is being affected by any business shut downs. Bob 0 -
I’m really conflicted about this. While I’d love to get this free money, I’m well enough off and retired so that I can make my bills without a government handout. But - my taxes won’t go down. Why the hell are we giving tax payer money out. They’re going to bankrupt the US. But people need to eat and a place to live.
But the economy has been great for pretty much everyone. why haven’t they thought about keeping a cushion for themselves? they’ve got their brand new iPhone but their bank account is empty.
i don’t know. I scrimped and saved - forgoing all kinds of shit - and always made every purchase decision based on whether I could afford it in lean times. rarely took a vacation. Bought used vehicles. Worked multiple jobs. Now I sit here comfortably and see people depending on the government teat. FMTT...0 -
I'd forgotten about that. It was a big deal in California, to the point that people were going out of state and hauling old cars back and making them run just long enough to get the check. Once the carbon/pollution credits for taking old clunkers off the roads ended, the program came to a screeching halt.select-fire said:Cash for clunkers was the last scam they played.

Turns out it was in 2009:us55840 said:Wow .... never heard about the FREE MONEY back in 2008 ????????
I will wait until I get this $800 - $1,000 in my hand before committing to any purchase.

And regardless of what ANY president says ONLY CONGRESS can appropriate funds.

Here is the senerio... Govt tells everyone to stay home. Now they have money to go spend foolishly. That will sure stop the spread. 0 -
Election year, Republican President wants to give money to the voters, no Dem is going to try to fight this. Donus55840 said:

"Chicks now are not free " at least for me. Once upon a time, yea. 3 -
so how many simply do not pay taxes ???? gangs, illegals, furriners, this cash waste is probably the stupidist govt thing i have ever heard of 0 -
I am sure many of us will get zip. I wonder how long before the handout will be built into future tax tables and those that got nothing will pay for those that got something. What my Uncle gives me he then takes away? 0 -

IIRC it was President Bush that gave us "free money" before to stimulate the economy. Actually it was an advance on your tax refund, if you had one coming. Forget how it worked for those that had to pay or those in no or low income brackets. Maybe free for them. Dems cried foul.
Remember flying to D,C. to see the sites and stimulate the economy and maybe her too!0 -
He already gave me mine.
Bought 20K of an S&P index fund yesterday just before the close and sold $ 21,000.00 today just before the close. The original 20K turned into $ 21,200 after the announcement.
In 24 hours there is an extra 1K in cash, plus an additional 200 in the fund.
Yes, it is free money, and it is not how I normally play. But...if you can handle the risk, 5% - 10% swings almost daily are hard not to take advantage of. Still way under for the year, of course, but every little bit helps on the way back.0 -

Correct, the first stimulus was in 2008. As Mark noted, a second stimulus occurred in 2009.

Well that ought to piss the democrats off. Giving away money that we don't have has been their idea for a long time and Trump is stealing their thunder. Maybe Trump will take Biden's advice from back in 2009 and spend our way out of debt. 0 -
Its a Covid 19 Check. To qualify for the check you must die from the virus. 3 -
Do you suppose that all of the people who hate Trump refuse the money?? Nah, their just Democrats.... 0 -

Why not give everyone a million Dollars? That would solve all the problems if everyone was a millionaire. No more homeless, everyone could afford medical care & all the student debt could be paid off. (Sorry I couldn't figure out how to get it to print in green.) 0 -
