When Do We Get Our Next $1,200???

Never. Starve, you lousy pigfucker! Billionaires need yachts!!!

I want my coronamoney

I want my handout

Where my money at?

The republicans are insane and will likely fight the passing of a second check kicking and screaming.

I want $2,000 a month until this shit goes away!! Give it! NOW!

Yeah r5. But you know the fuhrer wants more checks going out with his name on them.

The second checks have already gone out...to dead people.

Heres some shit

I work 2 jobs to get by and don't like my taxes paying for people living free in subsidized or govt housing getting a check. Let them work. Let them work 2 jobs if necessary. Let them get off their asses.

The housing people really try to make that happen r10. (mainly due to legislators forcing it). Even really strict drug rules.

The excuses, I imagine, are endless.

Ready for my check!

I don't mind my taxes going to help people. I'd rather they do that with the amount I pay then just bail out the banks and Wall Street every other year.

Grocery store worker here.

I've been working fulltime through all of this. I wish that we got some 'hazard' pay; I'm still making the same $12/hour that I was a year ago.

I'd hate to be you hanging out by the mailbox, OP

R14 any stories you can share about Karen customers?

Second check? My boyfriend, my mom, sister and brother-in-law have still not received their first check.

I hope we have a parade for you R14 and all your co-workers someday.

Hazard pay for grocery workers YES, Extended unemployment benefits YES,

taxpayer money to people who don't work and already get govt assistance in multiple ways HELL NO

I wrote my Congressman in support of another handout.....er....I mean stimulus check. Basically, he responded.....Don’t hold your breath..... all the rich people getting tax breaks and such and they can’t let loose with a couple bucks to tide us worker bees over till this virus sorts itself out.

I want $2,000. Is that too much to ask?

This is not a handout.

These are OUR TAX DOLLARS we put in from OUR WORK.

Fork it over!

I like how the politicians have to debate and dither and cajole and compromise... while U.S. Americans are wondering where July's rent is going to come from.

R21 Tax dollars are not your personal savings account that you can just expect to make a withdrawal from. In fact, they're not yours, at all. They pay for the government and its programs. So yes, its a handout. Just say thinks, and don't worry about the definition.

R17, Are you sure they all met the requirements?

I used the first check ... to pay my taxes.

Yes, R23, I'll just say "thinks," you fucking moron.

The fact that our taxes fund wasteful "government and its programs," including unlimited budgets for needless wars and giveaways to the super-rich, is exactly why a thinking person wants to take their tax dollars back.

It’s on Chaturbate. Get ta workin!

I'm not impoverished so didn't get any $1200 check the first time around.

I am not impoverished either and received $1700 The first time around.

Head of Household with one kid who earns 95K per year.

That's impoverished. Sucks to be u.

I never expected the first one and certainly don't expect a second. I'll gladly take it though.

With these covid spikes - which will probably continue - and some trepidation on the part of a lot of people about going out and spending (though a lot are also going wild living their "normal" lives), and expiration of a lot of the stimulus package programs in the next few months, I really wonder if they'll do another stimulus check.

I can see it happening nor not happening.

I was surprised the first round of checks actually happened. I wouldn't hold your breath for a second.

R10 if you don’t like it, go to another country and try your luck there.

R33 anyone working 2 jobs deserves a stimulus check. Dead people and ones who are up to their ears in social service money should not get a stim check, just no need for it. Telling people to go to another country is very racist of you by the way. Really disgusting.

[quote]Telling people to go to another country is very racist of you by the way. Really disgusting.

Why? How is this "racist"? Not r33, btw. Nor the person who WWed you.

Trump isn't going to sign a second round of checks.

He thought the first round would buy him votes and support, but his poll numbers are lower than ever.

That money didn't pay off for him, so he's not going to sign off on a second round of stimulus. And since Bitch McConnell does whatever Trump tells him to do, that means the Senate won't sign off on it either.

[quote]Bitch McConnell does whatever Trump tells him to do

Isn't it the other way around?

Where's my TRUMP CHECK???

....

I can’t wait until the election is over and you fucking cunt Republicans get the fuck out of here when you lose.

It will be Late October poll meat.

If they're gonna give unemployed the extra $600 stimulus, then they need to give people who still have their jobs but make under 50k a bump too. I alone knew three unemployed people who were getting more than my take home pay. And they were smug about it too. No desire to look for a job.

The lazy people getting stim money and not looking for a job is the number one reason to not vote liberal. Fiscally they are a sinking ship. Thankfully socially the Gorsuch Supreme Court provides us social protections. Not worth much if the country is in a economic depression with people refusing to work and be supported by those who do. End the stimulus for these people, help create jobs and get people working, money well spent.

I know way to get $1200. You need douche, breath mint, and sexy squint face. When you get, stand on corner. And waalaa! You get the money.

And, dumbass at r43, it was the Republicans who gave them the stim money!

[quote]they need to give people who still have their jobs but make under 50k a bump too.

They also need to give me a straw to snort it through.

r10 don't worry, that's not where your tax money is going. It is being stolen by the Republicans, laundered and then into their pockets or to pay for Donald's golf trips and his kids trips like the one Jr. took last August to Mongolia to hunt a rare SHEEP. no worries.

Where my money at?

r10 and r43: I can see there's good reason I already cancelled you. Maybe you should do me the same favor. Your reactionary, shit-stirring posts come straight outa RT America, or hell. That money is our fucking money. To say anything different is a damned lie. Fuck off and die.

WHERE’S MY FUCKING CHECK?

They just closed every bar in Florida so imagine real soon.

R49=disgruntled libtard from the 60s, there is medication to help you know

Hope everyone receives their do soon.

It angers me when some people say that unemployed people don’t want to find a job and just want to go their government with their hand out. Yes there might be a few, there always are but not the majority so should the majority suffer(which happens way too often in general) for the mistakes of the few? Plus try find a job when so many businesses go bankrupt because of COVID. Tax is not paid by the rich, it’s paid by all of us. There’s nothing wrong with helping people getting through a temporary tough time.

I want $600 a week too!!! Fuck these measly $1,200 checks!

When does the extra $600 unemployment stimulus end? When does the rent eviction postponement end?July, right? What is going to happen after that? Corona is getting worse, not better.

Watch? Shoes? $1200 is a popular price point lately.

R55 I’ve been thinking the same thing lately. Shit’s gonna hit the fan big time when Rona is rampant and people have no jobs or money.

[quote] Hope everyone receives their do soon.

Oh, DEAR!

How many visits from your favorite escort can you purchase on rentmen.com with the stimulus? 3 sessions? Hopefully so.

R14 here - a grocery store worker. I actually work for an outside company and merchandise/service certain brands at multiple stores in Virginia. I am generally in 3-4 grocery stores and 3-4 gas stations/minimarts every day bringing product from the back storage area to the shelves/coolers (ensuring proper rotation, label pointed out, etc).

There is VERY uneven mask usage in my area. The best is Whole Foods, which is usually 100% masked. Then would come Aldi/Wegmans, Kroger, Walmart with Food Lion the worst. Gas stations are also very poorly masked.

On Sunday I saw the following in one of my Food Lions: 20-something white guy wearing camo shorts, Confederate t-shirt, NRA ballcap, and with a semi-automatic rifle slung across his shoulder. No mask of course. Who needs to open carry at the grocery store around noon on a Sunday? He was there to pick up beer, of course. I did not engage with him but make sure I did not ram him with my boat.

Omg, remind me NEVER to visit Virginia.

It sounds like you live amongst the Nicaraguan Sandinista rebels.

I would be terrified to see someone like how you described.

Now's the time. Cancel rent, mortgages, make dental, eye and feet part of health care.

If you haven’t received your first stimulus check, you can check the status at this IRS website:

[quote] If you haven’t received your first stimulus check

First stimulus check?

Honey, that's going to be the ONLY stimulus check.

There's no way that DUMP will push for a second stimulus, especially now that he's thinking he won't win the election.

Bribery didn't work for him the first time, so there won't be a second time.

Yeah, there would have to be another full shutdown in most states and a market crash before there's more individual direct monetary relief. No that it couldn't happen, but I wouldn't count on it.

Dump is going to be dumped no matter what, but there are other Repugs in a very precarious spot right now who can’t afford to piss off their constituents any more. The people are not going to stand for more bailouts for corporations and nothing for the rest of us to survive on.

As long as it goes to people who are OUT OF WORK. I don't understand how fully employed people should get a bonus for themselves and kids when they haven't been economically disadvantaged for it.

Way too many people received it the first round.

Don’t’ be ridiculous, R1. Billionaires already have yachts. But their children and grandchildren are going to need yachts. And after all, isn’t that what America is all about?

R67 Fuck you! A lot of these people who are unemployed are deliberately not trying to find work because their unemployment checks have not only gone up $600, but is being extended while the rest of us work our ass off; many who still have to work jobs where we have to interact with the public which means we put our health at risk.

So either everyone gets a check or they can cancel it completely.

"As long as it goes to people who are OUT OF WORK. I don't understand how fully employed people should get a bonus for themselves and kids when they haven't been economically disadvantaged for it. "

Out of work is what state unemployment benefits and the expanded federal unemployment benefits are for.

The checks weren't unemployment checks - they were "stimulus" checks. The ideas was keep people spending to avoid even more business and job loss - and that applies to those out of work and to people who still work but might be tightening their belts.

And the Republicans who control the Senate are hell-bent, as they are every year, to be out of DC by the first of August. Nothing will get done unless they see themselves losing their majority, an increasingly likely possibility, so who knows? Still, not exactly a lot of time to work out a way to benefit the most people in need in the most important ways.

If as expected the peaks aren't coming down in the South and West until mid-to-late July, that means another two months after that to clean up the mess and get the Ro (rate of reproduction) down below 1 after another two months without a functioning economy in big, hot parts of the country in the summertime.

The summer and fall in a lot of the US is going to look like winter and spring did in NYC and the Northeast. And while people in the NE will be getting back on their feet, their bills won't somehow magically get paid, either. Unless the Republicans do something big, something Trump doesn't want, and soon, it'll come too late for people who need help.

Liberals have no problem growing the national debt when they are in power, just like the Republicans.

Fuck right off, R67! Do you not realize some people who are receiving unemployment + the $600 stimulus are actually more than some people who are still working after taxes? You think that's fair?

Yeah go fuck yourself r67. I’d be making MORE sitting at home with that extra $600. I haven’t stopped working to keep the wheels turning.

Looks like it’s a no-go.

Thanks for nothing, rethug scum!

But you live in the greatest country in the world! Just remember, "the worst day in American is better than the best day in any other country in the world!" Where else can you dress like a hillbilly Nazi and sport a semi-automatic rifle and flip-flops at the Piggly-Wiggly?

Not happening.

Piggly Wiggly is a very convenient store, where I live there are only dirty bodegas with cans of food so old and grimey you need clorox wipes to clean your purchases off, sadly they don't carry clorox wipes.

Pathetic!

Looks like Never, OP

Don’t hold your breath.

Where my money at?

4/5 weeks

Link, r83?

r84 no link, intuition

I could desperately use another $1200. Seems unlikely.

Never.

Not gonna happen.

Were you really counting on it? It would have been nice, but I never thought it would happen. Heck, I'm surprised the first one happened.

I think there would have to be significant shutdowns again across the country before the government hands out direct payments again.

After another worthless press conference, I wouldn’t guess anytime soon, OP.

My aunt is in an assisted living with demetia, she got the $1200. As her POA I was able to get it and use it for her needs. Seems crazy but true.

Why crazy, R92?

There's not an easy way to distribute money so widely and target it precisely; you have to give too much away to ensure that you give enough to reach the people who would fall through -- and who need it most. It's why checks were sent to dead people. The IRS in theory verifies payments against death records but those ultimately come from state records and agency records sharing is a tricky thing in the U.S.

Is this going to happen at all?

where my scratch at?

Is this ever going to happen with Mitch “in charge”?

It's not happening - move on.

How are business supposed to have any customers?
