[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is there not an income threshold or unemployment stipulation for stimulus checks? Can someone explain the logic?  [/quote]

Agree. I know a ton of people making $150k household who lost no income since March, in fact saved on childcare, and received BOTH rounds of stimulus. $150k is a very common/comfortable HHI in middle COL areas. These people don’t need stimulus.[/quote]

I don't get it either.  And I say this as someone who lost my job in hospitality due to COVID and has since found something in a different field.  I'm back on my feet but so many of my friends, especially those who own businesses, are not and will not be for a long while, if ever.  Meanwhile, I keep hearing from others how they've saved so much during the pandemic and $600 would mean very little to them and would sit in their bank account.  I'm grateful that some relief is coming but it would be more helpful if it was going to the right people. [/quote]

We don't have the time or luxury to let perfect be the enemy of good.  Get it now?[/quote]
Pelosi passed a bill in May. The Republicans has plenty of time to perfect it if they had any interest in helping people.[/quote]

They don't, they only want to help their rich donors.[/quote]
