4th stimulus check

24 Comments

What do y'all think about a 4th stimulus check and recurring monthly checks/supplemental income checks?

I just read an article that how the economy recovers will influence Biden's reelection chances. I also read about businesses needing more employees, the people in general want supplemental income it seems, most democrats seem to want it. I don't know specifics, but republicans are divided on the issue, like if they support Trump and are determined to stall the Senate. Biden has yet to take an official stance I believe

What do you guys think about it? There's mounting pressure from a lot of people for more financial assistance, to give people a sense of security and bring employees into businesses and the economy rolling. Acquiring this gives Biden and the democrats a little more time in control while things get back to normal.

I know I would appreciate some stable monthly income from the government. Anyone think it's likely or not? When does the covid-19 enhanced unemployment income end? I feel like that would be a good time for him to make a stance

Probably pretty likely as you outlined 2
I don't think we'll get any more Senate approved funding 8
We definitely should get supplemental income 3
That sounds like wishful thinking 5
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Venezuela tried this same shit in the 90s and 2000s. It went from one of the richest nations in the world per capita to one of the poorest. A hotdog cost $1 and a months pay is $5 there. You can try to spend your way out of a recession but it doesnt work. All this money they're handing out is just printed from thin air but is gonna come at a cost. All the big investors are selling alot of their stocks and moving their money around. They're pretty much all warning of a disaster coming.

      Invest in a wheelbarrow because that's how we'll be carting our stacks of cash around to buy groceries.

          You ought to think about getting your CDLs if you dont mind working long hours. You can make a shit ton of money especially at the oil rigs in North Dakota. More money than you'd even believe if I told ya

            Yea I know man. But cars make me uncomfortable and I hear its so bad for your body. Im thinking about it though. Like it us tempting. Do that for a few years kind of thing. I do like alot of hours. I'm happiest at 65 but ok with doing more.

              Yeah its rough on your body just look at most truck drivers you see. They dont have very good physiques from all the sitting all day. But the money you can make is good. Trucking companies can't find workers so they have to pay a lot. If you dont have felonies you can get a 100k+ a year truckin job pretty easy. If you dont mind working 70 hours a week you could make a shit ton.

    I'm concerned about unemployment paying more than most businesses. Biden is incentivizing people to be lazy and not look for jobs and doing work in the economy which eventually will make goods more expensive which means people will cry about being paid more in a never ending cycle of inflation until the dollar crashes.

    There are a shitload of jobs out there now. If the government keeps giving people free money they won’t work. I work 60-80 hours a week to get what I have. Fuck giving my money to lazy people.

    As much as I want free money (that i paid into so its still not really free), it does not motivate people to work for an even better salary.

    Why work 2x as hard to make 2x more, when you could work half as much and still live acceptably.

    When you start handing it out to everyone, and not just those who really need it, people get complacent but also greedy

    I don't think Biden is interested in running for another term

    I think that's what Biden and the Democrats are trying to do. Crash the dollar!

    Starting a supplemental monthly income would be just like your social security, Medicare, and even Obama care, once started you'll never be able to stop it.

    I can hear the crying now,

    "What a monster he/she/they are. They want to take away your Biden bucks and put you back in the poor house. Told you they were racist this will effect more Black and Hispanic families, but they don't care."

    It would be another step towards making the USA a socialist state.

    I have been homeless for the past month. Lost my housing since my last job fired me for taking a sick day during Corona virus. I lived off savings and had to move and get a new job and found new housing on my own. I have yet to see my 2000 dollar tax refund check and just found out goverment took all but 400$ of it for no fucking reason. I have not gotten any of the stimulas checks since trump was in office. So yeah a lot of us are not getting this bullshit. Even when its clear who auctually need assistance. A lot of the checks are going to idiots who quit because "Corona is scary" vs those like me who was literally homeless for a month and fucked over by my job and told there was no assistance available

    I don't believe there will be a general 4th stimulus check. There might be some targeted aid to certain specific groups...

    I'm looking at what kinds of grants are available to assist restarting my businesses.

      I read somewhere about leftover money going to states to be used how they see fit

      I think NC's senator bill Burr I think is resigning soon. I'm not sure what my state would do with that money
