US Stimulus Payment
This whole thing with this Economic Stimulus Payment seems pointless and silly to me. Granted, I know there are some people out there that were happy to get it.
So, it's supposed to help stimulate the economy by getting people to buy groceries, gas, and things of that nature. So how many of you actually used it for that? Probably hardly anyone. Everyone surely used it to pay their bills. Especially since most people are in debt to someone.
Then there are the poor people who can't make end meet, but owe back taxes or have delinquent student loans. Usually, that's because they couldn't pay their bills, they couldn't afford the cost of living, and couldn't pay the taxes. If you ask me, those are the people that really need the help. So instead of sending them a payment to buy food, gas, and bills... their payment went directly to the IRS or the student loans. Wow, I bet that sure helped those people a whole lot! I bet they are so happy to hear about how the neighbor got their payment and used it to take care of their family... and... well gee... they paid down part of their taxes or student loan. That far outweighs the need for rent or groceries any day. Right? Yeah... I don't think so. If you haven't been funneling your money into the government... then they are not helping you. They are making sure they get paid first. I honestly think it's a joke.
