8 trillion dollars in total.
thats 8 000 000 000 000
roughly 3000 years is equal to 8 trillions seconds.
196 000 000 000 is going to Americans (population x 600 so not terribly approximate) or 24% ish
Questions for the mathimagicians, what percent will the US taxpayers current and future pay in interest on this pandemic gov't cash print debacle?

I'll take their six hundred dollar check. I consider it a refund for paying too much taxes over the years to the government.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Winner! Winner!
I am of a similar mindset. Been paying taxes for 23 years now... it's about time I saw something out of it for a change. The vast majority has been the feds shaking me down and I've received f-all in return aside from not being jailed for refusing to permit them to steal openly from me.
Screw the government. It's time to milk them dry and leave them for dead.

We did not keep our last check. We gave the money away to people we know who really needed it.
We will do the same if we get another one. People like me, who don't need it should not get it.
No one bought me then.
Pelosi and gang sure won't buy me now. But I don't trust them to do the right thing with the money either. So I'll give it to someone I know needs it. The government just throws money at people willy nilly and Democrats are the worst, we'll end up like Venezuela in a few years with the massive give aways they have promised during the election cycle.

I did this as well. It is soooo much more beneficial than giving it back or refusing to cash it. At least you know the money goes to someone who needs it (a fellow American) instead of back into the collective to get used for something like the "hush fund".
Nice job!
Thanks,

I think I can figure out how to get it started better than I could figure out how best to distribute the raised money. Any ideas? Or maybe I should team up with a local charity?

Was just thinking, since it was our money to begin with. . . . why shouldn't we keep it and demand more of our money back?
Mostly because how they're 'giving' it to us, it's from another I.O.U. written to ourselves.

Our European counterparts just delayed the inevitable.

There's a reason the press hasn't mentioned Europe lately. It's because they're in the midst of a spike that puts anything going on in the US now to shame.
