Too bad most of the country still doesn't understand this
Even if everyone understood this, most aren’t going to pay for it. But many of those who will pay (more accurately, their legislators) still don’t seem to care - “money to burn!”

I try not to buy too far into conspiracy theories and haven’t made my mind up yet on wether these stimulus checks are good or bad but under one lens I can’t help but see it as wealth redistribution. Which I think the incoming administration will be all for.

Certainly some who have lost jobs and currently looking for another and small business owners who have been forced to close their doors deserve help. On the other foot though those who haven’t worked and live on welfare by choice(I realize exceptions exist) are just getting an extra check and have no intent on contributing. The first group I mentioned who want to work and those who don’t qualify will foot the bill in the long run.

Got ours a couple days ago, put most of it in our daughters 529 college savings account like we did with the last stimulus check. But hell I’m sure college will be “free” soon anyways the way things are going...

Didn't get one the first time not getting one this time. Maybe people will quit griping about others paying their fair share of taxes.
Ha...... ain’t gonna happen. The new American dream/Democratic way/Younger generation mindset is “I want what you have which is, in my view, more than what you need, therefore I will take want your don’t need as I want what I don’t have even though I don’t need it. And because you have more than what you need we will take “x” amount more to make sure everyone else gets what they want but don’t need.”

just another way to describe .....socialism.....!

I think most understand just fine. They just don't care.

That’s me. I understand it but I realize I’m powerless against it therefore I just don’t care. I was happy to get 600 dollars of free money. I bought all my dehydrated meals for this next hunting season and a new pocket knife.

I agree. The lack of personal and national responsibility is beyond fixing. Take what they throw at me and use it to good effect.

Got mine. It’s either they send it to Pakistan for gender studies and other craphole country’s I care nothing about or the give it to us.
I just hope Mitch pulls his head out and let’s that extra 2,000 come my way to... or he might decide trannies in South America need gender study money as well.

Pays tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars in income tax over lifetime.
Gets $600 back "free."
Thanks government. Now, send some more billions of our tax money overseas so you can get your kickbacks to enrich yourself and I'll just shut-up and be happy with my "free" $600.
