    :lol: other peoples money?

    Guess I don't pay taxes.

    I never asked for it, was and still am opposed to it, and as I've said before. Anyone who got one and said they would not keep it are liars :lol: I also spent Obama's check and I think Bush sent some out too, can't remember for sure though.

    I'm also against the Pelosi/Horseface's universal income, heros fund, another round of stimulus payments and any other "check".

    I'd rather have that money as a tax cut on my paycheck, at least that would encourage people to go back to work to benefit from it.

    I am opposed to it, but spent it, hmmm

    We agree on the second bolden line, I think all who boast about being conservative are all talk.

    Every last one of you, FYI I think every liberal is full if it also. You both have core values that both will stomp all over if it benefits them financially or socially.

    Free money is free money. But only if it's coming to me and not to people who I don't think need it.

    Just for you, I'll tell everyone that I got a check from Germ's tax payments. Want to invoice it out so you can write it off on next years taxes? I'd call it a charitable donation but I'm sure you've already maxxed that deduction out.

    How does the current plan work? Say they were laid off because of this and started receiving the $600. If they are offered their job back and go back to work, do they still receive the $600 for X amount of time?

    Does every person who has filed unemployment get that $600 for X amount of months and then it's done?

    I guess we can all strive to be the puritan that you are. What a joke.

    Never stated anything about me. Just my view on those who "pick" sides.

    To my knowledge it is an unemployment enhancement. So if you are receiving an unemployment check fromnyour state it is added onto it, the money went to the state to dole out rather than direct payment. Also a reason some states are seeing problems with it.

    Unemployment laws have changed so much by each state who knows when they will drop people or not and for what reasons.

    The federal bonus has a 4 month/16 week limit unless changed.

    You picked Bernie and AOC, that's a side, and IMO the worst side as what you have now minus the virus would be your Utopia.

    All the stimulus bills combined but rather than for the course of a few months, year after year after year.

    How the hell is that sustainable and so well thought out it gets your vote?

    Not confirmed, I still don't directly know anyone who is confirmed to have had it.

    Many possibly had it and have recovered which would put many more who were in close contact with them as possible and asymptomatic.

    Who picked Bernie? Also, I live in Michigan and perhaps you don't know or understand how elections work, but I can't vote or pick for AOC.

    Rep. Tim Walberg (R) is my Rep in congress. Yes, I voted for him, before that it was John Dingell, but Democrats like him don't exist anymore.

    Oh for crying out loud! you know dang well what he was saying. She was backing Bernie all the way and standing with him, I'm sure trying to reach up his back side feeling for those strings to pull.
