What will you do with your stimulus check ?

After Congress passed a new Covid-19 relief bill late Monday, millions of Americans are set to receive a new round of direct payments.

For most recipients, the checks will be smaller than those sent out in the previous Covid-19 aid package, but still a welcome sight to Americans struggling through the pandemic economy.

Individuals who made up to $75,000 in 2019 will receive $600. Married couples who earned up to $150,000 will receive $1,200. Filers listed as "head of household" and who earned $112,500 or less will also get $600. And families will receive an additional $600 — up from $500 in the spring — for each dependent under 18 in the household.

Well, there is both good and bad news. Trump will be doing a pocket veto on all of the above. In other words, there is a loophole in the veto law, and he will be employing it, by putting the bill "in his pocket", so to speak, and appearing to forget about it.

He publicly announced, yesterday, that Congress needs to present him with a new bill which gives $2000 to individuals, and $4000 to married couples.

@4meAndyou $2000 is much much better! ;)

@Nimbus Unfortunately this covid so called relief bill was linked to the omnibus bill to refund the budget. ALL the pork from Porky Pelosi and all the hobby horses from all the other Congressmen and women is packed into it...with next to NOTHING for our own people...but we are funding all sorts of border walls in the Middle East, if you want some irony.

@4meAndyou I appreciate the irony as we have a similar situation here.

@Nimbus I have rarely seen people so angry. They will not re-elect anyone who voted for this piece of trash bill in the House.
