Why I dont want the govt to send checks to americans

[Crepitus]

Not only is it unconstitutional, it will normalize the freakazoid far left's policies.
People are against it now but start having the govt hand out "free" money to these imbeciles and their politics will change.
"Hey man, this aint so bad. Lets vote for these extreme leftists and get more free shit"
A perfect example is democrats and the welfare system. The "new plantation" as some call it.
Dependence on the federal govt is regressive and flat out stupid.
The "progressives" want to take us back to the 13th century england. A crisis is a perfect way to do it!
Now that you read this, go back to the medias fear mongering.
Good day.

Not seeing how it's unconstitutional.

 

[Pogo]

Welfare is unconstitutional

Explain.

 

[Crepitus]

A better thing they could do is tell Credit Card Companies to suspend interest on all credit cards for a month.

Got some high balances, Stumpy?

This recovery gonna make the Obama recovery look like a rocket ship if there is no stimulus... just saying

Says the guy that rails against deficits and debt

You doubt it though? I don’t like bailouts either, I particularly hate that we have been spending like we are in a recession leading to this. Most the money will no doubt make rich people richer. But it will be a slow recovery without it. You see it differently?

The money would certainly help a lot of Americans that are not working right now and are struggling to pay bills and buy groceries, especially service workers that rely on tips more than they do an actual wage or salary. The amount of people it would help would outweigh the people that will abuse the $1,000 or don't need it as badly as others but a one size fits all approach like that may not be as efficient. In my personal opinion having large amounts of loans sent to small and medium size businesses around the country so that they can continue to meet payroll and pay people while at home would be ideal. I would also suspend federal income tax temporarily so that people are taking home a little more money each week. Just a thought.

I would support putting a hold on payroll tax. Its about the only constitutional thing they can do.

Equal protection of the laws for unemployment compensation is a more equitable and permanent solution.

The Gov. handing out free money to everyone whether they need it or not? What could possibly go wrong?

Personally I'm gonna buy a Lambourghini and fill the glove compartment with cocaine.

Hey wait a minute, didn't Delorean already try that?

No, silly.

He was driving a delorian.

Gerald Ford was a leftist. (-:

But seriously, just giving people money may not really increase consumption, and that is the aim. We're looking at possibly best case 30-40% unemployment if we "shelter in place." I'm better placed to weather this job wise than most, but if I get a thousand bucks, I'm saving it because my wife's car has 200plusK and we'll need a new computer in it soon. I've already spent a chunk of cash on my kid's education, and am still spending. So I'm not even close to rolling in dough. But the people who will really spend any stimulus immediately are the soon to be unemployed. To the extent we can, we need to make up their pay checks, and make it possible for the small biz owners who will have to close up to have the ability to reopen 3-6 mos down the line.

I lived through it. Hurrican Rita. I personally tried to get into Wal-Mart in Galveston Texas after the first checks went out and there were big screen TV cartons strewn abut the parking lot as they loaded them into buggies and pushed them down the road jabbering and grinning.

The checks go to people who have proven to be incompetent with money already. But I guess thats the point. Its really a handout to corporations via people who have no sense of delayed gratification. If these checks go out again it will be the same...cellphones and TVs.

And basically ineffective.

Of course a few of our resident statists would funny the OP

Only because it is.

Well shit, look at its first five words.

$1000 to every adult is a lot of money.

Rather see it go to those who are really suffering right now.

 

[BluesLegend]

Not only is it unconstitutional, it will normalize the freakazoid far left's policies.

Lets cut taxes and spending 25% and normalize that

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Easily solved.

Agreed:

"Unconstitutional" seems to be a term they're flinging without understanding what it means. As if they don't have to explain it.

 

[Pogo]

Easily solved.

Agreed:

Hey, if the OP signing his check over to me is contingent on running video of frickin' Johnny Ramone, he can keep it.

Well, it just seems to me that the people who made and served the Caesar salad I had two weeks ago, and the people at my favorite hamburger dive, are not going to have jobs shortly, and they will miss their rent and have food insecurity. They have a need that is not because they can't manage money or don't work. And, the whole point of having safety net programs, and even soc sec to an extent, is to make sure that we continue to have consumer demand during recessions so that the entire economy doesn't crash.

I think Gerald Ford had good intentions, and so does Mitt Romney, but you're right that just giving every 1K will not keep the laid off workers above water and basically have people buy …. shit.

Please point to that enumerated power in the constitution then.
I'll wait.

Welfare is unconstitutional

Explain.

Show where it IS constitutional
