    Bruce you are a problem I'm thinking(but I'm going to do the same thing). The idea is to stimulate the economy. Not necessarily help people specifically. You are supposed to spend the money on fun. The people hurting use it for food. We aren't democrats; you don't give money to po' folks because they are poor. They're supposed to suffer some. But like I said in an earlier post, the 50K and above don't need $600 or 1200. Here a tidbit I saw just this evening: If you make over $75,000 you get $5 deducted for every $100 over 75K(how high does that go). So they still get some of it. I didn't know about that. It's just silly. I'm a little out of the scene here. I have a pension and(so far) that hasn't changed. So here's a question; stimulus every six months or so forever?
    Problems can be talked to death ... or they can be solved. This payment will not solve the entire problem. It will be a help to solve a part of the problem because the idea is precisely to help people. People who are doing just fine with no repercussions from the Chivirus have no reason to expect help b/c they don't have any need for it. The vast majority of people who have been financially impacted by the Chivirus are low and middle income people. They need and will use the money to buy what they need. A six month stimulus is no different than the US Fed. budget annually subsidizing various industries, etc. The only difference is that the people getting the money are low and middle income people rather than large corporations. It is that simple. Sincerely. bruce.
