The_Omega Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 From National Review Quote Stimulus 4.0 By DAVID L. BAHNSEN July 24, 2020 10:40 AM It is clear to me now that Senator McConnell’s strategy of waiting until the last second to take up the fourth stimulus bill was quite purposeful, and that if discussions had begun four-plus weeks ago, it would still have taken until this point to get passed, yet we would have had four weeks of both the House Democrats and the White House adding to it, making it much larger than (as McConnell knows) anything that the Senate would accept. The "fiscal cliff” is now here, specifically as far as concerns the $600/week of federal supplements to unemployment insurance, and so a deal will get done, but McConnell is confident that a trillion or two (I can’t believe I just wrote that) will be left out that otherwise would be there. My predictions after more conversations with Capitol Hill sources and friends: (1) The unemployment benefit will get extended but phased down, and with income restrictions (Secretary Mnuchin is floating a 70 percent level, so ~$400/week vs. current $600) (2) There will not be a payroll-tax cut, but there will be conditional corporate-tax credits that the White House will hold out as a victory (particularly, an extension of immediate expensing for R&D, Capex, etc.) (3) There will be a "second bite of the apple” from PPP for small businesses (4) And significantly for those who desperately believe businesses need to get their employees back to work and school opened, there will be a liability-protection plan.

bobeph Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Funny (but true) story. My nephew (17 years old) has a part time job at their local rec center. He was working like maybe 8 hours a week. When they went red and the place shut down he couldn’t work his job, obviously. So the little uker applied for stimulus money. Yesterday he received a debit card from Uncle Sam with 10 UKIN’ GRAND on it! He wouldn’t have made 10k working there for two years. little uker! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There needs to be a better way of seeing who they’re sending these chunks of money to. His mom is a teacher (in PA, good $) and his dad is a mechanical engineer. Yeah, they make the kid work to teach him, like every parent should, but come on! It’s not like the ukn’ kid was starving because he couldn’t work his minimum wage, after school and weekend job!

They obviously confiscated the kids debit card, and of course he’s not too happy about it. Especially, after telling his friends that they were gonna have a night of hookers and blow on him! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
