My neighbor said the same thing. That none of us should get Stimulus Payments, none of us should get the vaccine. He voted for Trump and thinks that Biden is basically a liar. So I said to him. I assume then you are giving your payments to charity. On no if the money is coming to me its mine I'm spending it. So he went to Dicks Sporting Goods and bought a Kayak with the $600 payment. When the $1400 comes he is returning to Dicks to buy a Canoe. I went in the house and thought if he thinks the payments are wrong, and doesn't give it to charity. Then I wish he would spend it on pest control for his property. Flying termites and ants all over the place.

But, Trump wanted to give away even more - he was the one advocating for $2K in Jan. Remember?

I assume that it would be used by family or friends, but how would he/she cash it?

Yeh.. didn't agree with all this "stimulus" irregardless of political party.... Yes. This was also the same for Trump's tenure.

Tom Cotton must think you all have short memories. Your elected GOP officials sure have a high opinion of you, don't they.

I would guess this will be the end of this thread.

How's that make you feel?

Have the inmates spent their previous stimulus checks yet?

Quote:
People who are in prison and jail are eligible to qualify for the first stimulus check of up to $1,200 per adult, but with the tight Nov. 4 deadline to file physical paperwork now passed, inmates have until Nov. 21 to file an online claim with the IRS.
