How much will your Corona stimulus payment be?

I believe I am above the threshold to get any money.  But at least I am still working.  Maybe I will stop dragging my feet and try to sell some guns.

I was planning on selling two of mine and picking up a new to me Hellcat this spring. Might be a bit tougher than I had planned. Though, I did talk to a friend today who makes his living picking cars up at dealerships and taking them to auction. He said he was the only truck delivering today; but the auction lot was overflowing.

Lease returns just sitting until this blows over. I'm thinking new cars might be a little less negotiable than normal; but there will probably be a ton of 2-3 year old cars with low miles that they'll be anxious to get rid of.

Thanks to all those getting zero for helping fund my free government money!   >:D

Seriously, plenty of opportunity to discuss the inflationary ramifications of this spending bill, and how we're ALL going to pay for it later on.

You really see the disparity between "real" Republicans and the AOC wing of the Socialist Communist Democratic party. AOC is upset that illegal aliens won't be getting government checks, and at least one GOP lawmaker is introducing legislation to prevent US companies with significant or controlling interest by Chicom companies from getting any Federal Chinese corona virus bennies. (The cynic in me wonders whether he's serious or is only doing it to posture for voters.)

Were I still working, I'd be getting zero from this stimulus . . . having been forced into early retirement a while back, I figure I'll still get significantly less than the oft-mentioned $1200.

Posted something about the stimulus on my facebook page. One of my friends, the older sister of a college friend, lit into me about "are you going to take the payment? If you do, that means you're a fan of socialism!"

She despises Trump and is somewhere in the middle when it comes to supporting the free *expletive deleted*it party...

Funny how she didn't have anything to say in return that I pointed out that "Given what I paid in taxes last year, it's not socialism for the government to return to me a small portion of what never should have been taken from me in the first place."
