- 5 Trillion "stimulus" dollars distributed to various points, some made it's way into citizen and taxpayer hands, the vast majority did not.
- If yours is an average household, and is a federal taxpaying household (60% of households pay federal income taxes), then your share of that 5 Trillion dollar principal is $67,000. (How much did your household receive in "stimulus" checks?) Then there's the interest that will eventually dwarf the principal.
- Don't fool yourself. Those checks
were your hard-earned $$, handed back to you in a form that approximates a payday loan. In one way of looking at it, that'll probably be the most expensive gun you ever purchase. You and your offspring will be paying for it for generations.
The fact that most people don't flinch when politicians pull these stunts is exactly how they are taking the country to financial ruin with minimal objection from the people. They rob the country of billions and trillions of dollars, hand 20% of it back to "the people," while the remainder is used to buy votes for themselves and enrich people and companies with whom they're in bed with, people and companies who will eventually feed a bunch of that money back to the politicians and their cronies. Meanwhile, the huge, huge majority of us are being screwed. Like lobsters in a pot being brought to boil, most people don't even realize what's being done to them and their families.
