Would you be open to receiving $2,000 dollars?


https://finance.yahoo.com/news/joe-biden-wants-2-000-161000977.html

It has been less than two weeks since Americans started getting their second coronavirus relief payments "stimulus checks" and the anticipation about a third phase is already heating up.

President-elect Joe Biden has called the current $600 round of cash a "down payment," and early last week he said $2,000 checks would go out "immediately" if his party took control of both houses of Congress.

The Democrats will indeed run the House and Senate starting late this month, owing to some election results last week.

In the days ahead, Biden plans to lay out a proposal for a massive new COVID relief package, including fresh direct payments to Americans.

How fast is "immediately"? Here's what we can currently say about the likelihood and timing of third stimulus checks.

Biden told reporters at a briefing on Friday that one of his first priorities is pulling together a plan to spend trillions more money to bolster the economy, as the virus rages.

"We need to provide more immediate relief for families and businesses now," he said. "People are really, really, really in desperate shape."

Many struggling consumers have been eager for additional government relief. Americans largely spent their first stimulus payments on basics like groceries and utility bills, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said.

Some also invested the money, a bureau survey found, or used it for various other needs. Those may have included buying affordable life insurance, as the pandemic has seen sales of policies take off.

Biden is expected to present more details on his proposal in the coming week. But he's been talking about moving rapidly to get $2,000 into the hands of Americans.

"That money will go out the door immediately to help people who are in real trouble," he promised on Monday of last week, while campaigning for Democrats running in a pair of U.S. Senate runoff elections in Georgia.

Biden's party won both seats which will flip control of the Senate to the Democrats and give them power over both sides of Capitol Hill. That could make it easier for Biden's proposals, like new stimulus checks, to become reality.

How quickly could new payments go out?

Nothing can happen, legislation-wise, before late January. Biden and the new vice president, Kamala Harris, will be sworn in on Jan. 20, and the new senators from Georgia may not take their seats until Jan. 22 the state's deadline for certifying the runoff results.

That all means if Congress and the incoming Biden administration are able to come together on fresh relief money, you're not likely to see anything until February, at the earliest.

Would I? No, I made a smidge under 150k I absolutely should not get anything.

Others should and it should have been done 6 months ago. I'd wait 2 months so the vaccine is further along to hope people use it to go out and stimulate the local economy instead of order chinese products from amazon though.

And unemployment insurance should he increased from 300 to 500 until cases are below 10k a day nationally for 2 weeks straight.
