Everyone doesn't pay taxes?The people receiving them don’t pay taxes.
I don't need the check moreso than I need people taken care of who are going to be on vents for 2 weeks at a time. Imagine the bills about to drop on people.I would prepare for it to be considered income. The government doesn't do anything for you without taking something away.

Nobody outside of the affluent will be able to afford it. Even if you're insured, the bill will still be astronomical.The retirees won't be able to afford it. They're the group that's overwhelmingly admitted to the ICUs.
Wonder if this will push some hospitals to declare bankruptcy since most won't be able to pay the corona bill and their main money maker (elective surgery) has been cancelled.
“Everyone” isn’t receiving one. I don’t know the thresholds they settled on. They were going back and forth between $60k and $75k for individuals and $120k and $150k for joint filers. Plus $500 per kid with some cap. I don’t know where they ended up.Everyone doesn't pay taxes?

What I saw this morning:“Everyone” isn’t receiving one. I don’t know the thresholds they settled on. They were going back and forth between $60k and $75k for individuals and $120k and $150k for joint filers. Plus $500 per kid with some cap. I don’t know where they ended up.
What I saw this morning:
Anyone over 75k individual, 150k joint is expected to pay back over 3 years, 0 interest
$7,500 cap per family
I don't get this means testing bullshit but when you have a Congress loaded with people too afraid to spend or absolutely against any spending, this is the kind of stuff we get stuck with. Like I said before, I couldn't care less about this money and would rather funds cover people's ICU costs.

So they they’re really just giving people an interest free loan? What about people who don’t pay it back?[/QUOTE]What I saw this morning:

I agree.I would prepare for it to be considered income. The government doesn't do anything for you without taking something away.
I agree.
Last time they stole my nachos.
Neoliberals got so outflanked that I can't help but laugh as a proud socialist scumbag that they let themselves lose again.90% of America is getting a somewhat free check (I’m sure it will get taxed). The republicans turned into socialists & Dems suddenly became fiscally conservative.
Well played Corona. Well played.

I'm still on Heehaw Jabba, Jabba the Heehaw, or Melting Potato. Always happy for suggestions.In the meantime, I understand the state will NOT extend the filing deadline as the Feds are doing. Thanks Governor (insert coalcounty description here).
Did they throw in a north beltway for Morgantown? No?The bill is loaded with pork. Kennedy Center in DC is getting $35M.. very essential you know. The political class has to have ways to be entertained.
Probably will get deducted next tax time and you'll have no way to stop the payback after Year 3.So they they’re really just giving people an interest free loan? What about people who don’t pay it back?
That's a lot of nachos for each member!There is a line in the bill to increase the House of Reps salaries and 'expenses' by $25M. Nice 50k raise for each member.
One of only 6 states not to have done so thus far. That's incredible. Surely that will change in the next few days. What about the tsunami!?!?In the meantime, I understand the state will NOT extend the filing deadline as the Feds are doing. Thanks Governor (insert coalcounty description here).
Maybe he meant a tsunami of taxes into the state coffers?One of only 6 states not to have done so thus far. That's incredible. Surely that will change in the next few days. What about the tsunami!?!?

Looks like they just changed it to July 15. Minutes ago.One of only 6 states not to have done so thus far. That's incredible. Surely that will change in the next few days. What about the tsunami!?!?

I couldn't find either of those appropriations in there, but I didn't get through all 1404 pages, mostly just the table of contents and the first few hundred pages. Maybe you guys can find that and point it out. Otherwise it's probably more partisan bs.There is a line in the bill to increase the House of Reps salaries and 'expenses' by $25M.

I don't consider it a stimulus because it can't be spent to its full potential. I think it's more a stopgap.I'm just glad they stopped bickering and got a deal done. I won't see a dime, but a major stimulus is needed right now.
Cool. So $1,500 is more like $1,200.The bill is a little confusing, 1,000 pages long but the stimulus checks are not loans however it looks like they will be taxed. Businesses are also eligible for loans which are interest free.
I agree. People out of work will use it to pay bills. Mortgage, power bill etc. Little will get put back into the economy.I don't consider it a stimulus because it can't be spent to its full potential. I think it's more a stopgap.
It needed to be essentially a boosted unemployment benefit to all and cover this situation for the next 2 months (I'm probably wishful thinking this is over by June). The $1,500 or whatever one time payment we'll get isn't going to do much for most people.
