    Yeah, attack me when y’all been mocking any and every social program ever discussed here forever.

    Now that YOU get some, it’s gimme gimme gimme.

    But HOW are you all hypocrites???

    Like I said, enjoy. Sounds like many of you desperately need it. I hope it helps.
    I won’t be getting a check. HTH

    I have mixed feelings about all of this but I do think there's something to be said for the idea that when government orders are what is killing an economy/job market/personal finance that it's more appropriate for said government to step in and offer relief.

    This isn't just some random recession. This is a recession caused by a virus yes but moreso by governmental response to said virus. I'm pro small government but if government is going to choose to take away economic freedom like this I think they have to offer economic relief.

    IOW I was against W's stimulus in 08 but am pro Trump's stimulus in 20 even though I am much more pro W than Trump.

    If there's ever a situation where government stimulus is appropriate this is it.

    Except the government doesn’t have money of their own. So they are giving away others money.

    And speaking of hypocrites every teacher and government employee who is getting a paid vacation better be donating their check to a someone who lost their job or a charity. Time to put up or shut up. But they won’t. These assholes are going to end up making more for doing less.

    Good thing I didn't file yet for 19. Because in 18 I made squat.




    So I'm gonna take my free money


    And use it to pay some of the taxes I owe for 19.
