Has everyone figured out how much their check from the govment is going to be?

[skinsfan]

so by saying you aren’t getting a dime on a public forum it’s kind of like bragging on your income without really bragging �� I don’t like the idea of government handouts and this is no different. Ultimately the govt is handing out money they don’t really have. For those of you making over $199k as a household congrats, you have done well and should be just fine without the free money.

Looks like I’ll be getting $2400 for myself and $500 X2 for my kids...

Same here. Didn't realize I was such a poor bastage until I checked this thread.

This is poorly implemented. How is basing it off of 2018 earnings going to help someone who was laid off in 2020? Didn't realize a pandemic only affected lower waged workers. The oil field worker who made $150k in 2018 but just lost his job in 2020 still has the same mortgage note coming due as he did in 2018. Why can't we all be treated equally?

They have to go off 2018 because 2019 taxes aren't due yet so some or most people haven't filed for 2019.

I would rather spend all that money on research and prep for the next pandemic.

I’d rather get a little check from the gubment and invest in some of them fine rabbits you got over there!

I don’t know if we’ll get anything but if we do my wife and I plan to spend it on eating out. We don’t normally eat out but we think we could help others by spending it that way. We don’t necessarily NEED the money and we realize there are a lot of others that do.

Best post I've seen in this thread

where do I send my check?

[Philip-TX]

What about Unemployment, (the existing program that already comes out of your check)? Shouldn't that be drained before more "stimulus" & debt is put on the backs of the taxpayers?

Is this a one time payment? Is it taxed? Hasn't this $$ already taxed once, in order for the government to get their hands on it? Well it be deducted from future tax returns?

[kae006]

Well this sucks. We get nothing but now I’ll have to pay more taxes to fund all the free money other people are getting. What if you’re over the $200k cutoff but you have kids, does the $500 per kid get phased out too or do we still get that money?

What about retires people that “made” money in the stock market in 2019 but lost 5x that in 2020?

It’s socialism pure and simple. Take from those that work and earn and give to those who don’t

A person making a 100k+ a year is far from rich

Then I'm a lot further.

We’ll get a goose egg.

I want to know about the $500 to the kids as well. I’m thinking they owe me.

Closer than we are, you definitely aren't barely getting by either. I think it should somehow go to people lost work from Corona, not a certain pay range. If it goes through, I still get some money. But, I haven't been impacted from Corona yet.

After seeing how much some of y’all make... I haven’t worked in the last few months luckily I’ll be starting again soon. I hate getting a handout like this but it’s at a good time, I just wish the circumstances were different. It will certainly help me catch up on some bills.
