Reminds me - my office manager asked if the stimulus money is taxable - and I have NO idea.
I need to ask my accountant, Monday AM.

The 1st one wasn't. I haven't seen the '20 tax forms yet but I've heard that you enter it on the form but it's subtracted from your income.
That brings up a point. Some people got theirs on Thursday 12/31. A lot of us got them on 1/1. Different year. That will mess with the 1099's or whatever they use.

The bad part is giving our hard earned cash to other countries. Like 10 million dollars to pakistan for gender studies. That was part of the main budget bill and would have happened with or without the covid bill. Covid was attached as a rider. So there really was no way for trump to veto?

He could have but he'd have to veto the entire budget bill. He can't veto a part of it. If he had, the budget would have run out and we'd have another government shutdown. It sounds like he worked a deal. He signed the bill to avoid the shutdown but congress agreed to debate it further.

Not that I earned it (but I paid it)... I didn't get chit.
I'm broke as hell because things cost more up here, and we get paid more. According to the lower 48, I'm rich and don't need any money. According to my checking account, I'm a broke ass beeotch who has to scrape up $2000 for a frozen water line- yeah, no water right now.
I don't really care about the stimulus, because I'm conservative... but taxes need to be figured on cost of living... this is BS. I pay like a rich guy in the lower 48, but live like a guy making 40-50K in the lower 48.

Everytime someone from the inner city or any area with low incomes, no jobs, poverty, crime, whatever complains about their area, conservatives everywhere respond with: then move. I thought maybe that's what you wanted to hear.

Just like the first "stimulus".....
never wanted it... all that happened, was what they were going to send me ( and I would have sent it back)...
it got "intercepted" ( government word for STOLEN) by Hennepin County MN... Minneapolis.... and sent to my ex wife..
that I divorced 33 years ago.....
They didn't even give me the chance to refuse it and return it....
I look at all of it, is that it has to be repaid via taxation down thru our grandchildren's life time....
The democRATS are causing all of this... and the needs that causes it...
democRATS are communists and should be treated just like communists....
ship them to Gitmo, they can stay locked up in Cuba.... with all the communists in Cuba...
Let people go back to work... instead of giving them a few token bucks, and a huge debt for their children's future that has to pay for it...

Well there are a few benefits like: PDF check, no state income tax, no state sales tax and subsistence fishing and hunting and practically no zoning laws.

That won't do any good if you don't also end the Fed. It's the power of the printing press belonging to the banks that brought us to where we are. Sound money needs to be restored. Sound money is money based on a fixed exchange relationship between currency and a commodity of value, typically gold and/or silver. Sound currency has the effect, among others, of imposing discipline on government spending that otherwise is non-existent.

Another Democrat attempt at vote buying with a 3rd stimulus check of $2000 IF they win Georgia... A Third Stimulus Check? Biden Says ...e Door" if Democrats Win in Georgia
While campaigning in Georgia on Monday, President-Elect Biden made a bold statement about a third-round of stimulus checks.
Is a third stimulus check in your future? And, if so, how much would you get? According to President-Elect Joe Biden, if Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock beat incumbent Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue in today's Georgia runoff elections, then "$2,000 checks will go out the door." This statement, made during a campaign event for Ossoff and Warnock in Atlanta on Monday, is the strongest indication yet that Biden will push for a third stimulus check after his inauguration.
It was just a few days ago that Senate Republicans blocked a vote for a House-passed bill (the CASH Act) that would have increased second-round stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000. The CASH Act would have also (1) bumped the extra per-child second stimulus check amount from $600 to $2,000, and (2) allowed the extra payment for any dependent, regardless of age, rather than just for children age 16 or younger.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called the CASH Act "socialism for the rich" because it would have authorized payments to wealthy people who weren't impacted by the pandemic, instead of only targeting people in need. Since Republicans currently control the Senate, he was able to avoid a vote on the bill, which was passed last week by the House. However, if both Ossoff and Warnock win their respective Georgia runoff elections, Democrats will take control of the Senate and McConnell will no longer determine which bills get a vote in the Senate. With Democrats control the House, the Senate, and the Executive branch (after Biden is inaugurated on January 20), a third-round of stimulus checks seems likely.

Having not received a deposit to the debit card to which I received the last one (I also received my tax refund on that card in 2020), I just went online to irs.gov and followed the instructions for an inquiry about this. After entering my information, I received a notification that they are sending me a physical check this time, for some unknown reason, and not depositing it to my card. Maybe someone there screwed up and didn't realize I had a card. So, they are saying that my physical check is going out in the mail tomorrow, the sixth of January, and will arrive within a week thereafter. That's actually better, assuming it does arrive, since I can then just deposit it in my checking account, as you cannot deposit an amount on a debit card, for some unknown reason, into a checking account.

A little taste of "Universal Basic Income". As long as a check shows up each month, who cares where it came from............sounds good until you take a look at where that money comes from in the first place.
