Do we make too much to get the stimulus check?

You think they function without employees, caring dont matter, it is about being able to produce

They could produce just fine if they were ran properly. They just received massive tax cuts. Did they use that to put themselves in a better financial position for the inevitable downturn....apparently not.


This is nothing more than money to inflate the stock market and claim that everything is good and we are winning.

I am in no way shape or form a Democrat but open your eyes.

You realize they don’t care one bit about those employees right?

Ya.
I don't need my employer to care about me I just need the checks to cash. Can't do that if they're out of business or laying people off.

You could be right but the government shut them down and if you dont have no income coming in or anyone buying product or service it dont matter. Some of those companies were in very good shape

Tax cuts dont prepare you for the complete loss of income, big or small

Now you could say the CEO's make too much money, there is an argument there

Maybe wait and get some actual economic data in a month or two and see what needs done then.

Trump sees the only way he doesn’t get re-elected as the economy and stock market crashing. So they’re throwing the kitchen sink at it to do everything so that that won’t happen. Even though we are overdue for a recession.

So Democrats are supporting this to get Trump reelected?

This as long as the recession doesn't turn into a depression

This is a once in a lifetime black swan event, i think it is way overblown but we are here now

Gives you the chance for more cash flow to save and prepare for that.

This stimulus is over 6X the size of the one we had just a decade ago. You know the one the republicans cried about costing way too much and we couldn’t take in that much debt. Eventually this stuff either gets paid for or the dollar crashes. Before this decade is up we are going to owe over 100k for every man woman and child in this country. It’s simply not sustainable.

Probably gonna be the shortest recession in history, after the longest bull run in history. I don't really see that as a good thing, but the federal reserve loves their new toy so liquidity is here to stay, at all costs apparently.

The economy was in good shape before this, so it might save us from a depression

@Jkloc420 Its amazing just how much the world is freaking out over this. I’m not saying the virus is not serious. Most of them are. But the panic is unwarranted.

I’m not a fan of stimulus but I think this one is more warranted than the last simply because the government has shut down a lot of businesses. It never should’ve gotten to this but that is a completely different discussion.

I just dont see it going away or it being eradicated, I can see not wanting the hospitals to be flooded. However with international travel and some people just being carriers, it wont go away

Tax cuts, pushing the fed to drop rates, banks no longer needing a single dollar to back loans.

This entire term has been one big non stop stimulus

And the interest rates are close to zero in the long side of the curve so the government is borrowing the money for free

We haven’t ran a surplus since 2001. I’m not sure it matters what rate you borrow at if you never pay anything back lol
