How much does each illegal alien get? | |||

The country deeper in debt, a great way to start the new year. As I side note, I sat on my first payment for months. My intention was to put it towards my property taxes. At some point I changed my mind and have spent about 65% of it so far. All of it on firearm/shooting related items. That's where the rest of it will go as well. I want to stimulate the right people. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

We just got $2,319.45 on Dec 30 from the Treasury, my wife and I and 3 kids (18, 16, and 12). Our oldest is a Freshman in college. However, I have no need for this money as my wife and I are employed full time and my daughters work part time jobs. If they want to do something change the damn labor laws so more places are willing to hire teenagers. It’s nearly impossible for our 16yr old to find anything other than retail or burger flipper. Lowe’s and Home Depot won’t hire anyone under 18. ---------- “Nobody can ever take your integrity away from you. Only you can give up your integrity.” H. Norman Schwarzkopf | |||

Yep, mine showed up today, too. Well, ours did. I'm still sitting on the earlier $2400. I pay our income taxes, so it goes into my checking account, not hers. Better that way since I won't spend it, she thinks.  But then I did buy a gun late last year and it cost a bunch more than both measly stimulus checks combined.Anybody ever heard of a Prewar 44 Special 3rd Model target?  They made all of 96 of them or so I'm told. I've got 3 of them now and looking for another. It helps to have David Carroll looking for me. Yeah, I'd snap another up in a flash if I could find one. And the stimulus money just sits and waits.Unhappy ammo seeker | |||

^^^^ This. And the debt increases. My thought on the stimulus checks was that they were to help people that suffered hardships during the kung flu do things like pay bills rather than buy new TVs or guns. It's difficult for the Government to accurately determine who really needs the assistance. My niece was pissing and moaning in a text the other day that they weren’t going the get the $2,000 checks, even though their financial situation has not changed a twit during the kung flu; husband still works, etc. It took all her strength for my wife NOT to respond to her text. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

Oh no! They made me buy another P226! Okay, not really. I ordered it last week... I don't think the issue here is $600 that everybody will to have to pay back later somehow. But the least a billion dollars will do is give me a critical report on UFOs. | |||

A couple things here. You can have the glass half full or half empty view if this. I prefer the half full viewpoint. Great way to start the new year. This was a decision made by our government and the people elected. It is out of our control. You have as much say in receiving the stimulus as you had in the invasion of Iraq. You have no say in it. It’s done. It’s out of your control. You cannot just give it back. There is no option for that. If you really don’t need the money, and are truly against that the IRS dumped $X.XX in your account, do something good with it. We all have someone we know who is having a rough time. Help them out. Find six people that are really hurting, and give each a hundred bucks. Go to the grocery store and when you see someone less fortunate, pay for their groceries. Simple gestures like this can have a profound impact on someone’s life. It will probably make you feel good too. I know when I cover someone’s grocery Bill, it makes me feel pretty good. I understand the problems with our nation getting deeper and deeper in debt. It’s pretty scary, but coming into this thread and crapping all over the positivity, where we are trying to start off 2021 on a good note, and finding something to be positive about certainly isn’t doing anyone any good. Happy you received your stimulus, great! Happy New Year!!! Unhappy you received your stimulus, then do something truly good with it, and have a Happy New Year.

I don't get any stimulus and that's fine. I make enough that I don't qualify. But I can't help but think about the folks I know that lost their job but based on their 2019 earnings they don't qualify either. So they made good money in 2019, are broke and unemployed now, and get no stimulus. These go to eleven. | |||

Yes, it is income dependent. Excerpt from McPaper below: Will I get another stimulus check? The measure contains a $600 direct payment to Americans who earned up to $75,000 in 2019. That is less than the $1,200 checks approved in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act in March. It provides $600 per child, up from $500 in the spring. The bill also includes $1,200 for couples making up to $150,000 a year. The size of the benefit would be reduced for those earning more than $75,000, or $150,000 per married couple, similar to the last round of stimulus checks. The amount will decrease by $5 for every $100 of income above those thresholds, phasing out entirely at $87,000 for individuals and $174,000 for couples. There is no cap on the number of children a household can claim, so a family of four would receive up to $2,400. Are immigrant families eligible for checks? Mixed-status households, or those where a family member doesn’t have a Social Security number, will be eligible for stimulus payments, a key change from the CARES Act. Those without Social Security numbers, typically unauthorized immigrants, still aren’t eligible. But it would allow U.S. citizens who are married to foreign nationals without Social Security numbers to receive the aid. https://www.usatoday.com/story...-package/3921356001/ NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

This ^^^^^ If there'd been a way to decline it, we would have. I know this Wu Flu thing has resulted in serious negative financial consequences for many people, but my wife and I are not among them. We neither needed nor wanted this windfall. I know it was probably less expensive, in the long run, to simply give everybody $600 than incur the cost of implementing a needs-based framework, but still... "America is at that awkward stage.

I think I'll send our $1,200 to Pakistan to add to the 25 million they get for gender studies or whatever it was. I'd like to see it go to a worthy cause. Yeah, right!!  Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Lol. That's optimistic. A full half of U.S. income earners pay no net income tax at all. The top 20% of income earners carry a full 80% of the U.S. income tax burden. 10 people sitting at a table sharing a meal. 2 people lost their job, so they order takeout bags to help out at home a bit. The next 6 people didn't lose their jobs, don't need the money, but they order gift cards to "simulate" the economy. The wealthiest 2 pay 80% of the bill, even though they didn't order takeout or gift cards. The next 3 wealthiest people down split up the remaining 20% of the bill, unevenly of course. Everyone complains when the wealthiest guy drives off in a Rolls Royce, even though he just paid for most of dinner. So yeah, this debt burdens some more than others. I would have preferred that they just add the money as be an extension to unemployment. | |||
