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.
"The Obama administration has gone after both Rush Limbaugh and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce -- showing an inability to distinguish between the burning of heretics and the burning of bridges. It has courted insurance companies, then publicly demonized them for showing independence. Obama has tended to define all opposition, particularly on health care, as resulting from fear, cowardice and selfishness -- instead of admitting genuine disagreement. At a recent fundraiser, he mocked Republicans as robots who "do what they're told." He has engaged in consistent, classless, self-excusing criticism of his predecessor. Other presidents have been known for a war on totalitarianism or a war on terror. Obama is known for a war on Fox News." -Michael Gerson, "Too Small to Lead"

"Defeating a deep-pocketed incumbent in a Democratic state like New Jersey is a tremendous accomplishment and signals the beginning of the GOP's comeback." -Republican Governors Association

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.
