To clarify. I posted that chart to illustrate how dumb it was to do it that way. Give every cash. Give it to them now. Means testing will make it slower, and inevitably people will be missed. They will need more. A lot more. And those programs, like beefing up unemployment insurance and helping businesses, will be better targeted and will take time. But people need money yesterday it’s not tos tiny late the economy. It’s to help people survive.
It doesn't help rich people survive. It does nothing for them. They don't need it yesterday or today or likely tomorrow.
How tough is it to write a program that puts in simple criteria? There's no reason something that couldn't be done in a day or two or less.
Why waste that money when it could be used in the next steps to actually help businesses and people more?

I understand rich people don’t need it. The thing you think would be easy is actually incredibly difficult. How would you design a program that would identify everyone that had a need right now? That wouldn’t miss anyone? Next to impossible. I’d much rather spend an extra 25 billion now to make sure we don’t miss anyone. We can worry about taxing it back later, and it’s a drop in the bucket in the context of the trillions we will need to spend to avert a depression
I think the number of people making $250,000 in their last tax year who need this is tiny. And by eliminating all over that amount at this point, we can give more help to more people.
I understand the theory of not many people complaining about taking their money back, but I would shocked if that number wouldn't be massively larger than those missed who went in the tank after making a lot of money and not having any to make it through a couple of months.
How do you know who made $250k in the last year? Taxes aren't due until July. This is where listening to people and comprehending would help.
Very tough. How tough is it to get back when they file? Very easy. Listen to other people. Your self worth is not less if you happen to lose an argument on the internet.
I ran 10 miles to Maryland today to hand rj this
I can honestly say I've never run ten miles at one time in my life. I would guess I put in close to that many nights selling beer at The Vet and maybe five plus playing ball many times. But I've never just run and run. I get bored very quickly if the only goal is to run X distance.
