Do you qualify for a stimulus check in Senate’s coronavirus response bill?

[Bigun]

I certainly won't.  My tax return from 2018 says I made way over.  I had to move funds around to buy my Castle. 

Sometimes the timing just gets you no matter what.

[Chosen Daughter]

Nope, zilch, but didn't want or expect any. 

But don't worry, we all will pay later with increased national debt and dillution of our currency.
Heaven help us from the Bleeping  idiots running this country.  And add the entitlement class who can't save up enough for an emergency , or can't take their lips off the left hind teat of the Government Sow

And its likely we have to pay it back in the next tax season and some who don't normally owe just might.  Nothing is free.

Doesn't matter.  I got my dream Castle, that's worth more than money, and there's no mortgage.  Now Baby and I can kick back with a full pantry and armory.  I've had it with the foolishness.

And if the damned gummint wants to insist on sending me money, I'm giving it away.  To people who need it.  My town is hurting.

From what I understand, as a Vet I qualify automatically.
It will be just be folded into my retirement benefit without me having anything to do with it.

Everybody says, 'Nothing is free.'
This is true in more ways than just having to pay it back with taxes eventually.
The stimulus absolutely must fuel inflation. That is simply the way economics works.
That thousand dollars everybody is getting, is not going to buy a typical thousand dollars worth of goods.
As prices inflate on increased demand, the money correspondingly deflates.
In 'market basket' terms, the thousand dollars, because everyone gets it, will be worth much less in real terms.
Value is based solely on scarcity. Chucking thousand dollar bills out of an airplane all over the nation, kind of ruins the scarcity part of the equation.

You can always donate it to an organization like your local SPCA,Feline Hope,the Danny Thomas hospital in Tn,etc,etc,etc. They damn sure won't be getting any "free checks" from the government despite outfits like the SPCA,Feline Hope,and your local animal shelter getting bombed with pets people can't afford to keep any more.

[jafo2010]

For the folks that need the money, I am fine with it.  For the hundreds of billions in pork, I am vehemently opposed to it.

I AM ALSO OPPOSED TO GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES THAT DID NOT LOSE ONE DIME IN INCOME TO GET THIS MONEY.  FOLKS WITH SIX FIGURE INCOMES, NO LOSS OF INCOME, WORKING IN GOVERNMENT, GET THIS MONEY WHEN THEY ARE NOT THE ONES IN NEED.  The excesses by our government astound me.

But hey, you can read what is in the legislation after it is passed.  Now that phrase applies not only to Nancy Pelosi, it applies to both parties and POTUS!!!!!!

Great comment.  One update though....    ASPCA though not as radical as PETA spends too much on the administrative and political aspects of protecting our 4 legged friends.  I have always thought that the most "needy" and deserving of our dollars are the local shelters who generally rely on unpaid volunteers, and do their best to do so much with so little.

[mortarman]

I will be getting one an' I could use it. My hours have been cut down to 10 to 12 hrs. a week. This week I got sent home early on Monday an' given the rest of the week off. Got to go in next Monday to see how it goes.

No argument there.

Do you qualify for a stimulus check in Senate’s coronavirus response bill?

No, I do not qualify.  I did not work for it.  I did not earn it.  It isn't my money.

However, I suspect that I do qualify to pay back someone else's 'free money' check.

DITTO!

If government workers aren't reporting to work, then they should be laid off just like everyone else.
