Second stimulus check?

Are they sending out another one?

I hear whispering but I'm not sure if it's true.

Perhaps this is what you've been hearing about...

Same here, though I'm not sure it's for the same reason. I get testy because not everyone got one, even though I'm sure every single family in America could've used it. According to uncle sam, we were too "rich" to qualify for one, even though we pay more in taxes and we've got heftier bills too. :rolleyes:

lol dont you love it! I was waitin for me and i found out the same thing

I dont know about the resto fot he country but in Michigan it help raise our consumer spending in Michigan by 3% and we need every thing we can get

I never got one, i think my dad stole mine cause i owe him money, and we have the same name.

The whole idea behind stimulus checks is we-todd-did.

I don't really see the benefit from borrowing money from a rising superpower (china) to fund handouts to people who then turn around and consume more of the goods that we import from them.

Sure, a few hundred bucks is nice, but when everyone's buying power is simultaniously increased across the board, something called "inflation" occurs. In the long run, we aren't going to be any better off until we start competing better in the global economy.
