the new stimulus check

What is this all about?  I will admit I was not a fan of the first one but, we did need the money and it went to good use.  I am afraid to ask where the second round of money is going to becoming from and how much are we suppose to get.

It was very brief. They are still talking about it Nancy Pelosi was on the View last week talking about it.  I missed everything but the last 2 seconds of it.

I dont' think anything is official yet, but seems to me that a 2nd check would be issued as a way to "buy votes" in November.

The Democrats in Congress are pushing a second round of stimulus checks.  They've been talking about it for a coule of months now.  However, it doesn't seem to be getting very much media attention.  Here's an article about it:

It's a little old (July 31), but you get the idea.

I don't believe that any of the details have been finalized as of yet.

It's really dumb.  This came out a few weeks ago.  Obama proposed taxing the oil companies and giving $1000 each to every "working family."  Or every family, I am not sure which.
Newsweek, 1971, “Ronald Reagan’s Slow Fade,” ended with the judgment that “the somber truth is that Sacramento may mark the end of Ronald Reagan’s political road. . . By every normal measure, Ronald Reagan ought to be entitled to any political future he wants. A close aide said, 'The Presidency? Oh, he’s not interested. Four more years and I think you’ll see Ronald Reagan riding one of his horses off into the sunset.'” And see Stephen Roberts in the New York Times Magazine: “In 1976, the reasoning goes, Reagan would be 65, and too old to run.” “When a guy’s built on celluloid,” Democratic State Senator George Moscone said, “he goes up fast, but he burns out quickly.”

After the 1976 campaign, Newsweek offered a reprise, “Into the Sunset": "The concluding line of Reagan’s convention speech—'There is no substitute for victory'—could also turn out to be a epitaph for his own political career."

And not to be left out, John Coyne wrote in some magazine called National Review that "Reagan seems somewhat out of step with the new political stirrings, a man very much of the Sixties. . . For a decade he has been a central symbol of everything that is best in what we call the conservative movement, and if his approach and his ideas are obsolete, then so are those many of us who believe in him. And it’s never much fun to be a middle-aged anachronism." (NR)

I love Obama, but am I a working family? Do non-working families not need the money? If DH and I file separately do we each get a grand? I am not a big fan of stimulus checks...but I wont turn down the cash.

I don't really care if I get the money or not.  I don't spend it in the way that the government hopes it's spent; I just put mine into savings.  I think they want it to be spent immediately.  Yeah, that's a really great idea.  There' s a huge problem with spending more than what you have, so let's advocate frivolous spending.

I also frown at government taking away from a private industry based on its subjective view of what "excessive profits" are.
