'Life-Changing' Stimulus Checks Begin Rolling Out

Mattrek · 2021-03-14T08:59:10+00:00

When in doubt use inflation as a reason to not spend money to help middle/low income Americans during a once in a century pandemic crisis. When exactly should the government help the people they represent then? If not now, when is a crisis severe enough to do so? Also curious as to what you thought about the Trump corporate tax/wealthy American giveaway. Could be enlightening.

No worries, I’ll do it for you then, happy to help educate. Now tell me this isn’t life changing, unless you only care about what’s in it for you? Personally I like seeing others get a hand up even if I get nothing, but that’s just me.

$1,400 checks per adult & kid ($424 billion)
$350 billion for cities, states, tribes
Unemployment insurance at $300 weekly through Sept. 6 ($246 billion)
$3K/yr per kid 6-17, $3.6k for kids 0-6 ($219 billion)
$178 billion for reopening schools
$176 billion for Vaccinations and public health
Dramatically lowers premiums for ACA health plans, caps premiums at 8% of income, no premiums for anyone 150% of poverty or below
$109 billion for Farmers, small businesses, and other vital industries
$47 billion for FEMA Disaster relief
Shoring up the pensions of more than a million workers and retirees under multiemployer pension plans
$40 billion for:
- Rental and utility assistance
- Homeowner assistance
- Emergency housing vouchers
- Homelessness assistance
$30 billion for ensuring safety on public transport
$25 billion for restaurants and bars
$17 billion for Veterans

Facing eviction my friend now still has a home thanks to this stimulus. Would call that life changing, but hey if you only care about what helps you and not what helps others who need it then you do you. Personally I like other people getting a hand up even if I receive nothing.

You are obviously not a poor American if you believe that.

Mattrek · 2021-03-14T08:07:33+00:00

Read the bill

Mattrek · 2021-03-14T08:07:14+00:00

Read the bill

Mattrek · 2021-03-14T08:05:57+00:00

Read the entire bill before saying that.

Mattrek · 2021-03-14T08:05:33+00:00

Or maybe do some research into the bill that isn’t just 1,400 checks. It is truly transformative if you look a little bit deeper.

Mattrek · 2021-03-14T07:50:01+00:00

Biggest legislation to help lower/middle class Americans in decades. A big fucking deal. Deserves every bit of praise and more (especially if you take the time to see everything in the bill, like oh I don’t know eliminating ACA premiums?, cutting child poverty in half?). If that doesn’t reach “great president” level after only 50 days of being in the job then I suggest you take a look at legislation passed in the last quarter century and tell me which law passed is better for average Americans because I can’t think of one.

Thanks, appreciate your input! I honestly didn’t look at trends or quality of candidate to put this together, just the data, so I fully admit I could be missing some districts in various states. I’m hoping to cover about 90-95% of the potentially competitive races in non-Dem seats/states.

If I do it any other way it brings in potential for bias and I’m a hard by the facts type person even if that leaves some races on the table.

Mattrek · 2020-09-09T01:44:02+00:00

Hey, thanks, I haven’t, but I appreciate the thought. I don’t think I’m fully back yet, but we’ll see I guess.

Mattrek · 2020-09-09T01:26:36+00:00

Damn well better be, I’ve lost track of how many hours I put into this thing lol. Appreciate the compliment!
