Ontopic What do you want to spend your $1200 on?

yeah it shouldn't really be called a "stimulus," I think it's really going to be relief for a lot of people, but people are in different situations where some will need the relief, and others can afford to spend it on dumb shit. because it's a one-time payment, but a lot of people are going to need more relief than this one-time payment can provide, I agree with your wife that I'd rather see it saved or donated than spent on dumb shit, but I also know that it can be hard to resist the allure of dumb shit, especially when you can't normally afford that stuff.

And actually a lot of "dumb shit" that you could buy would benefit the economy as a whole. Spending/donating is a good thing for everyone, saving it is a good thing for the individual. If people can afford to spend it they should. It will help others who need it to change hands.

It's an advance on a newly created tax credit. So technically our tax burden for this year is reduced by $1200, we're just getting it now instead of after returns.

According to the email I received from congress, the $1200 will not affect our tax returns.

With Fiat, there's no such thing as money period. It's made up.

There's no such thing as objective value, period.

Everything is worth only what we fancy it to be worth as a collective species, so your obsession with gold as a standard is about as cromulent as pinning the worth of a dollar to the number of sperm I emitted into socks as a teenager.

The labor and work and time and product, etc. we're forced to exchange to get it is the value. The folks that "create" it and loan it to the government don't do that, they just will it into existence.
You or I try that we go to prison.
