I read somewhere Trump wanted $2K per and under $175K filing joint.  If they change it to that then we’d get stimulated but if it remains $150K were out.

A some point the Republicans in Congress need to be held accountable  :rofl:

There are zero leaders in the House or Senate who are able to slow this stuff down.

The problem, as always, is holding Republicans accountable would end up with Democrats having complete control over both houses. The results of that probably wouldn't be that dramatically different.

The public has been trained to accept this, to vote for it and to ignore the waste. Everyone on the right expects the Republicans to vote like Democrats once they get in office.

We aren't voting ourselves out of this mess.

There will be slow decline and dissolution/collapse or civil war long before voting fixes anything.

What a mess.  That's what, 10k per taxpayer worth of additional national debt?

The choices of our government are not sustainable.  Eventually this house of cards will fall in upon itself.

Our rep keeps chattering on on her Book of Faces, about all the wonderful things she and the House D.'s are voting for.  Never, ever, ever talk about how it's getting paid for.

$600 * 328,000,000 people = $196,800,000,000.   $196.8 billion.  This bill is for $900 billion.   

Where is the other $700 billion going?

So, are the $2k Trump checks going to replace the $600 Pelosi checks for ice cream, or will they be in addition to her checks?

ETA:  Just saw a story headline that the $2k Trump checks replace the $600 Pelosi checks.  I guess there won't be any fancy ice cream for me.

Not that they should, but what are the odds of the Senate approving $2k checks?

Entirely dependent on how much bribery pork progressive subsidies are included in the bill.

Are there any changes to who gets the money? 

If not, I guess I am paying for all of it and getting nothing myself.   =D

And yet again another example of Trump taking $600 from needy Americans.

McConnell has blocked any vote on stimulizing Americans with $2000 for the time being.  He says he needs to bring the Senate into focus on that and two other important issues.  Given that there are only a couple of days left in the session, I doubt anything he wants to "bring into focus" will actually get done.

Just to be clear, the Republican Senate voted for the bloated omnibus bill that funds all kinds of crazy BS here and abroad but will not spread the graft to the American people.

Everyone gets a piece of the action except for the American people.

This is your government in action.

Uncle Sugar just sent me $600. I didn't think I'd be getting anything due to my wife's immigration status, but it seems that this bill changed some of the requirements. It is a welcome surprise; said wife just had to have her appendix removed last week and this will help with whatever medical expenses stem from that.

Kids got it today.  We were exempt.  Even when we got it last go around ( just under the max earnings since they used our 2018 return AGI) we put it aside in case the kids struggled during the lockdowns.  They didn’t so it’s held in reserve until things get back to normal, whatever that is anyway.

I saw that on Instagram and didn't understand the joke.  I finally got it.   =)

Maybe it is because I won't get anything.

I don't understand in the least.  SWMBO and I combined are over the limit, and the kids are college students so don't qualify.  We got $1,200 deposited in our account...
