So Congress passed a "stimulus" bill that gives $600 to individuals.
Just imagine that due to government actions, your business that you poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into, went belly up and the government says: "Here's $600. Thanks for the ride."
Mind you, it wasn't the US Congress that killed off a whole lot of businesses so really it wasn't the US Congress' responsibility to pay. The state governors are responsible. And they were and are enabled by power hungry busy bodies who, in NYS, deemed to tell people they couldn't use the toilets because they were indoors.
Imagine. Your elected official signing off on telling you WHERE and WHEN YOU CAN SH!T.
Yes, I'm yelling.
There was nobody in the room when whoever mentioned this who said "No."
Just think on that. The people running the show actually thought that stopping you from relieving yourself where necessary was something they do and should have power to decide (aside from public relief, which I hear is quite legal in San Francisco).
Anyway, the point here is about that $600. Like the $1200 and whatever else was "given" before (actually stolen from future tax payers). Unless you were someone who took and will take that money and invested it, the "stimulus" was actually a direct injection of money to:
1) MasterCard, Visa, Discover, etc.
Often people used the money to pay down debts. Debts that are paid, often with interest are profits for the credit card companies.
2) Amazon, FedEx, UPS, etc,
Amazon has made TONS of money off the lockdowns. As small local businesses have cratered people have been forced to use Amazon to get stuff (that includes EBAY). You'd have to be blind to not notice all the Amazon trucks running all over the place since March.
3) Walmart, Target, etc.
Large chain discount stores have made out like Amazon. Again, their competition were locked out of the economy by the same government that's saying: "Here's $600. Thanks for the ride".
4) China. Yeah, China. If you've been paying attention you know that the vast majority of goods are "made in China". Very little is made in the US anymore. So ultimately wherever US persons ended up shopping for non-food items, that money, more likely than not, went to a Chinese firm (which also means the Chinese government).
What you have here is the greatest wealth transfer in US history including theft from unborn future tax payers. And you think Congress has accomplished something.
Oh and did you see the $500 million to Israel?
Ha!
Thanks for the ride.
