$1,200 Stimulus Checks Not Included In Trump’s Executive Measures

Not fair!!

This is a huge failure. How was this left out of the executive orders?

I think the EOs were just a ploy to cut the stimulus from 600 to 300.

That’s it. That was the only point.

This seems like a huge gyp.

I don't understand his reasoning,

What could be better for his reelection than checks for $1,200 -- signed by Trump -- arriving in late-September/October?

Obviously not a Trump fan, but this seems politically unwise.

He is such a loser. Can’t even do a single thing right.

The lady at OP is having a really hard time with the news.

This is going to comeback on the business who won’t have as many customers.

How does getting rid of the $1200 help the economy?

Spread the word on social media because people are so confused and have no idea what is going on with pandemic aid.

I can't win with you people.

I give you checks for $1200.00, I get shit.

I don't give your checks for $1200.00, I get shit.

Which is it?

You people are ruining my golf game, you know that, don't cha?

Unless you are filthy rich, do not expect a thing from this asshole.

What's bad for the economy as a whole is good for the plutocratic lords of chaos. Shouldn't that be obvious? What did you saps think you were voting for?

The deplorables need the money the most.

[quote] Obviously not a Trump fan, but this seems politically unwise.

You type surprised.

His entire term has been politically unwise.

Just two examples:

When asked if he takes responsibility for the American deaths at a press conference and his response was “I take no responsibility,” can you envision Bill Clinton (or any established politician) not coming up with a way to answer that question? Even if they weren’t really answering it?

And when New York was practically begging for ventilators and trump said they didn’t need them. Any true politician would’ve said “Take what you need,” so if they complained more you would have the option of saying “Hey, I gave them everything they needed. All they had to do was ask. Now they’re saying we didn’t do enough?”

Simple shit like that.

The Payroll tax is cut, that's money in people's pockets.

Doesn’t the employer pay the payroll tax? The tax cut then goes to the employer?

What if you don’t have a job? How can you take advantage of the payroll cut?

For social security, 6.2% is deducted from the employee's gross pay. The employer contributes another 6.2% of the gross pay.

For Medicare, its 1.45% from the employee, and 1.45% contribution from the employer.

So if you gross 10K between now and 12/31/20, an employee would save $765.00. If Trump ain't reelected, the employee is on the hook for $765.00.

so that would come out to like $20 a week which is about what the extra price in food and rising gas prices eats up every week.

Now we have to by masks and gloves and all these extra expenses.

Very mobster-ish of him. "I'll lets ya keep a little bit, but if yous don't vote for me, I'ma gonna need ya to send it in right away. Just sometin' to think about."

I make 80k. If they took away the payroll taxes totaling 7.65% (6.2 SS and 1.45 Medicare) = that would give me $510 extra a month, which would be more than $1200 if it lasted for 3 or more months.

But, I wouldn't touch the money with a 10 foot pole under the assumption that I'd have to pay it back in a lump sum. Plus, my future Social Security and Medicare would be in jeopardy; or should I say MORE in jeopardy.

And of course, this wouldn't help those who are unemployed. What a clusterfuck.

R4, Trump is so crazy that he whines about not being liked, then goes out of his way to do the exact thing that will make him LOATHED by the most people possible.

There have been countless times he could have done something crazy but beneficial to Americans and he has balked almost every single time. The first stimulus I think was the only time he actually went through with it, and then he started complaining about it immediately. It's insane, it makes no sense on any level.

But this is all BS right? It's not even legit.

I think he is a stooge for foreign oligarchs. If they want don’t want us to have the money, we will not get the money.

The foreign oligarchs wanted America brought to our knees. They have succeeded with his help.

"[R4], Trump is so crazy that he whines about not being liked, then goes out of his way to do the exact thing that will make him LOATHED by the most people possible."

Trump doesn't give a fucking rat's ass whether he's liked or not. As long as he's liked by the RIGHT people, i.e. the people he played golf with this weekend, he's good to go.

This is the taxpayers money. Not the republican’s money for them to play games with the people.

No wonder people have to break into stores to feed their families.

I still ain't voting for the ugly, fat, stupid fuck.

Can I bill him?

Trump’s order is not the end of it. Negotiations will continue.

Mitch will let the people of Kentucky starve but they will still vote for him again.

[QUOTE]Trump’s order is not the end of it.

Trump’s order is not even the beginning of it.

How did they arrive at $1,200? And not $1,000 or $2,000 or some other amount. There is no rhythm or reason to anything this country does anymore. Well, protect the rich I suppose.

Not to mention lewd, lascivious and salacious, R32.

Outrageous!

This is the people’s money.

I hate this motherfucker.

I don't understand Trump...but one thing is clear, his impulse is to always do the wrong thing.

It explains the fact that people feel they have to steal to provide for their families.

What else are they supposed to do with no jobs?

[quote]How did they arrive at $1,200? And not $1,000 or $2,000 or some other amount. There is no rhythm or reason to anything this country does anymore.

$7.50 (federal minimum wage) x 40 hrs per week= $300 x 4 weeks= $1,200

Thank you R39!!!!

So the republicans won’t even give people minium wage.

Vote them all out!!!!!

R41 His retarded fans will still vote for him. He could shit in their mouths and they would love it.

Not a peep about this in the presser.

Because he and his people know it was just a stunt; like “the caravan” in 2018.

For example, the payroll scheme means someone earning $80,000 would get a $2500 “tax cut” between now and the end of December. As would their employer.

BUT, unless you’re betting a [italic] re-elected [/italic] TRump could convince Democrats to go along with a multi billion dollar gut of Social Security / Medicare the employees and employers would get a total $5,000 tax bill come January, on top of the combined $1,000 a month in current payroll taxes then due.

Who’d take that bet?

Why does he keep saying it will force people to look for work, when everywhere companies are eliminating 1000s of jobs? When brick 'n mortar stores are closing en masse?

He has no idea how the real world functions, because he's been rich his whole life.

Why aren't Americans protesting these cuts? Maybe if they were reminded they affect Black Trans Who Matter they would get off their asses and REVOLT.

She might have to hock her earrings.

You didn’t get the nuance. He didn’t say find work. He said look for work. He knows people aren’t getting jobs.

Do you think this mutt ever had to look for work a day in his entire life? R45 nailed it.

This sucks.

The stimulus check approvals by Trump were never in question by anybody but extremely greedy Republican puppetmasters, Boris @ r10.

Now Trump can add stimulus neglect to the 3,000 other reasons Trump is unfit to be President.

Tell us how you're not going to lose business if most people are broke, r10. Tell us again why a deadly pandemic can't even justify borrowing money or government action, r10.

Enjoy a deeper depression, loss of business and more Republican senators and Congressmen going STRAIGHT DOWN THE SHITTER on Nov. 3, you myopic motard!

My gym just closed.

What a gip!!
