It would take at least $10,000 to stimulate or bail out MY economy

[Philosoraptor]

And it would take the sting out of the bail out, a REAL STIMULUS CHECK, and a bail out for me personally, and maybe I'll go along with this mammoth boondoggle. But that last round of stimulus checks, I didn't get one.

1. Our last one paid my wife's COBRA for 1 month.

After she got dumped from her job of 32 years.

2. We need a stimulus for my woebegone brother

A financial stimulus, yes, he could use that; but he really needs a mental stimulus. He doesn't do jack.

10. Mom's not going to like that...eom

4. Oddly enough

Me too. It would put me at 0$ owed other than my mortgage.

5. Give people that kind of money

and they'd be buying cars again.

9. Or paying them off. That's what I would do! nt

6. Lets do the math: $10,000 times 100,000,000 economically distressed households

equals $1,000,000,000,000.

Which isn't much more than the Great Bailout Heist would have cost.

7. you didn't get one?

What was the reason?

[pnutbutr]

8. either

didn't file your taxes or as an individual make more than $70k year or married household making more than $150k year. If it was the salary reason you did not receive one and you need a $10k bailout for yourself you must not be very good with money.

11. mine went to paying back my mom who paid our taxes

because my husbands boss fucked up the payroll.

to get us out of debt? Probably closer to 15k, that's not including our mortgage.

12. Yep-bail the people out first!
