Question

Has anyone else heard about the IRS doing a second stimulus check yet this year?

Answer 1

I have read over a hundred difernt sites talking about the second stimulus package. Some say that there is no way it will happen and others say that it is just for housing and the elderly and stuff like that. But it all comes down to that we will not likely even seen the effects of one this year.

Answer 2

A few politicians are talking about it, probably hoping to buy votes that way.  Nothing has been formally introduced.

Answer 3

Yes.  BUT, it is just politics...it is not going to happen.

There hasn't even been a bill introduced. And, if there is one introduced it has slim to no chance of passing.

Hope this helps.

Answer 4

I wish, but no

Answer 5

The only stimulus activity that has any likelihood of passage would be in the area of infrastructure improvements, i.e. the type of Federal expenditures that create JOBS, not useless giveaways.  

The $165 odd billion wasted on the giveaway could have paid for replacement and repair of thousands of the most dangerous bridges in the country and been used to repair thousands of miles of crumbling highways and created over 25,000 new jobs.  THAT would have made a REAL difference in the economy that would have lasted for years.  As it was with the giveaway, there was a slight uptick in retail sales that has already largely flattened out now that the money that was spent has been used up.  Many folks used it to pay off old bills or simply dumped it in savings.  That does nothing to "stimulate" the economy.

Answer 6

Nope.
