The charts do seem to show that money given to the low/middle income people is spent as soon as it comes in the door, while incentives to to the middle/higher income is not spent as quickly. So if you want to stimulate spending send money to lower income people. However, overall increase could be due to the stock gains from those in the upper income brackets. But agree whatever, all ends of the spectrum have won due to the free money giveaway. Wonder we pay the piper?

Punch bowl is getting low, time for some delta punch to juice things up. This round will be totally means tested.
At least we’re saving a fortune in Afganistan going forward. THANK YOU JOE! If we’re going to waste money lets waste it at home.

The $300 extra unemployment booster ends after September too. Also, returning mask-requirements and even vaccination mandates in some cities should make for an entertaining fall.
Governor Mike Parson in Missouri is now being sued over the fact he stopped these payments. Of course he did it after Biden took office. I have no doubt, had Trump won reelection, Parson wouldn’t have had the courage to stop these extra payments in fear of Trump attacking him. We all know by executive fiat Trump extended them the last time they ran out and Parson wasn’t outraged about that. That’s the problem in politics today.
I had to laugh when the first Trump stimulus checks went out. Not only was MAGA loving the redistribution of wealth checks when they went into their bank accounts (noting those making over $75,000 were left to pay for those checks for those making less than $75,000), but they apparently weren’t very America first minded either as Walmart and Sam’s Club looked like Black Friday with that crazy amount of Chinese TVs leaving their stores. Trump wasn’t smart enough to release the checks when Main Street America had reopened, so it was clearly a good day for China.
