But I'm retired and got it. I didn't need it but I got all of them.
What I got in stimulus is a heck of a lot more than I paid in taxes though.

Where is all this money coming from? In the past year businesses have been paying far less taxes because of less business due to Covid restrictions. Far fewer Americans were working and that means far less taxes being put into our tax coffers to. Are we borrowing from China again? When does this BS end?

That's how they stay in office, by giving people free money in exchange for votes.

Not many people who get tons of money in welfare benefits would give it up and work in retail, chain restaurant, etc...

There is no end to Democrat's appetite to spend.

They will never be satisfied until inflation reaches 20%.

And they only got a 1400 check because 600 of it was already given in late december/early january

What about the gov. paper pencil pusher that when they make a mistake, can do much more damage than serving up the wrong food order?
