I'm already struggling to find a job because now I have to compete with a lot of feds in my same field.

Pay your maid and gardener enough so they can afford a tv and sewing machine.
Not the PP but they are paid enough to afford a TV or a sewing machine, people everywhere love freebies, this includes billionaires as they will be the recipients of huge freebies from this administration.

A tax-free $8,000 check?
Pfft. If Trump times it properly, Republicans will sweep the midterms and 2028.
They are not writing any checks. This is a rumor.
Obviously. But the idea that an $8k check wouldn't move the needle is bonkers and out of touch.
Average Americans aren't working with inherited wealth, financial assistance from parents, high-paying private sector jobs, or pensions.
For $8k, an amendment granting Trump a third term would have a fighting chance.
Then "Average Americans" deserve exactly what they will get with Trump, no sympathy or help from the "libs".
Assuming you live in America, you'll be getting whatever it is Trump dishes out right along with "average Americans." Better to push Democrats to work with the electorate we have and stop talking rubbish than to sit back smugly in your stateroom aboard the Titanic.
I am done. I have finances and paperwork in place and leave the Titanic the moment I see the tip of the iceberg. I donated, I voted, I went door to door but people are to fu*king stupid.
We are done as well. I’m surprised at the amount of people who say they can’t leave. It’s overwhelming but I don’t see a life here anymore. If you have a way to leave, why would someone stay and fight? The fight was lost at the ballot box.

I would rather have a balanced budget
Same, but we won't get that, either.
I’m gonna spend the first $1000 on a down payment for a new F-150, then pay the light bill and the rest for hookers and blow. This is real economic stimulus. If Trump don’t send those checks he’s a failure.
You realize that this would just cause inflation, right? And that borrowing money from future generations to give it away to people now just makes the economy worse and not better.

Which libs are these? Are you under the impression the majority of Democrat voters are rich and couldn't use $8k?
Your 1990s talking points are out of date. Wealthier Americans voted for Kamala. MAGA is a bunch of broke yokels living off government assistance. The billionaire class convincing they are going to help Trump voters is the biggest con ever pulled in American history.
They aren’t all broke yokels. A fair number of them own tub refinishing and gutter helmet franchises. They wore the company jackets on 1-6-21.

I wouldn't count on receiving any money. But if you do, you have to pay tax on it. 😒

Move the needle on what? Midterms are two years away and I think you are out of touch regarding American voter attention span. The average Americans you are talking about will buy their $8k ATV, pickup truck lift, or night out in Vegas and will never again think about it. Unless Trump is going to give universal basic income, one check isn't going to work.
+1 When was it that W. gave every taxpayer like $300 and then started talking about privatizing social security?
That was 2001. Most vote buy tactics by presidential administrations occur during a president's 1st term or during campaigns. Trump looked out for his wealthy supporters/donors by lowering the corporate tax rate. Biden's attempts to cancel college debt. Some vote buys are just promises made during campaigns that the politician making the promises knows will never come fruition.
