There are few places in the law that dictate what there must be a literal headcount of. Most are policy decisions that are subject to each administration.

Note that Trump wants his name and picture on those checks.

When he heard Biff had suggested stimulus of $2,000, Moscow Mitch reportedly inflated his throat sack with rage.

Even though I have the longest commute in my work history, and ridiculously low pay, I'm glad I still have a job, and don't have to rely on unemployment or a stimulus.

I think DT wants more stim to push the market back up. He's always thinking about the stock market.

I burned that thing in a banishing ritual once, and I will not hesitate to do it again.

Howdy y'all!

What's the single most salient characteristic of Trump? He's a narcissist! What is the single most important thing to know about his narcissism right now? His election loss is the biggest narcissistic wound that he has ever suffered. A narcissistic wound is anything that exposes the core of shame that every narcissist has and when inflicted results in the narcissist must destroy whatever is responsible for it.

So, what does the narcissistic wound and resulting hissy fit tell us about the reason Trump would throw a monkey wrench into the #COVID19 relief bill negotiations? (A) He has to destroy #BidenHarris for having the temerity of winning the election and not just throwing it him, so he cannot allow #BidenHarris to have anything that might help them govern like the #COVID19 relief bill. (B) He has to punish the people of America who did not vote for him in sufficient numbers to enable him to win or get close enough to easily steal the election with his super evil genius plan. So, no #COVID19 relief bill for you. And (c) he has to destroy the GOP because they are not couping for him. They are just standing around saying, I don't know, what do you want to do? Like a common bunch of vultures in a common Disney movie. So, that means NO ONE gets to negotiate a #COVID19 relief bill and get any credit for any of it!

That's the real reason he made his suggestion.

Huzzah!Jack

I think it also would dig the deficit hole deeper if they disbursed more money out, giving Biden a bigger fiscal mess to try to repair.

Yeah, I thought I was safe when the $1,200 check was sent out, but then I got a Stupid Letter from Trump claiming credit for said check.

They KNOW that giving so many Americans $2,000.00 would stimulate the economy and produce an economic recovery, which would help retire the debt. They know how the economy works it is why they wreck the economy by transferring the nations wealth to the 1% with ridiculous tax cuts when they're in power and then let the Dems repair the economy after, so they can do it all over again.

Nah, I'll take a 27" CRT. Old TVs are better for retro games, and mine looks like it won't last much longer.

'I was told there wouldn't be any math....'

'...or History....'

'...or Geography, Science, or Reading...'
