The elderly are being urged to shelter in place. An easy way to get that money in the hands of people who need it would be to include the $1000 in the next Social Security payment. It costs money to order food and medicine delivered. Utility bills are higher if you are staying home.
It would also help if Congress has IRS extend the April 15th filing deadline to a later date. People are having a harder time paying taxes if they are self employed or own a small business. My local government plans to extend business taxes 90 days, but forgot that the personal income tax form includes lines for the income to be included on personal business tax forms that may not be ready by April 15th. Call Congress operator 202-224-3121 and ask for your Representative or Senator, or their phone number.
Let’s see, 300,000,000 people @ $1,000 ea is 300 billion bucks. And the democrats will want that to be monthly, so I think that quickly adds up to more than our government brings in in a year. And this will be especially hard to do seeing as most people won’t have jobs, therefore very little ‘revenue’ will be coming in to the treasury. Guess we’ll have to borrow it from China.
OTOH; there are MILLIONS that are awaiting that REFUND check!!!
I guess they could file early to get it...
