Okay so basically, because people were given some extra money from the stimuluses, some of us who didn't have to immediately spend that amount managed to get a bit of money into savings. But uh, the amount isn't even as much as was sent out to people. And most of it has long since been spent because of rising costs and inflation and loss of jobs in multiple sectors. :l But hey, they can misrepresent the numbers to make it seem like we're all living pretty off that money. --- tfw no big tiddy goth vampire gf who lactates blood - viewmaster_pi ...

He doesn't think this and knows that the average person who got the stimulus checks isn't "flush with cash." Mitch is an old, evil, terrible, what some would classify as a human being.

Yep, and that's precisely why Mitch is saying shit like this, because he knows people are stupid enough to believe it. That they can gladly take that like 2k combined from Donnie without batting an eye, turn around and criticize Biden for only doing 1400 because they were accounting for the 600 Donnie gave, and then without a second thought say inflation is out of control because Biden gave out too much money. --- Rage is a hell of an anesthetic. ...

Even if someone qualified for the unemployment bonus the entire time it was in effect, which would be difficult to do given the limits on benefits that were in place, that plus the stimulus checks would only amount to like $20k (on top of what they made from their regular unemployment), and while that is a large chunk of change, it isnt enough to let that many people just float on savings for this long. Meanwhile the Fed is raising interest rates because the unemployment rate is too low for their liking, and the labor force participation rate is only like 1% lower than it was pre-pandemic.
