What to do with the stimulus check

The government's professed primary goal is to make money circulate in the theory that any money spent leads to more money spent and prevents a depression? Expanded food stamp handouts are considered a total success working from the bottom up to stimulate the entire economy?

Carefully timed handouts distract people from action? This has never been a professed goal, but what I believe is the primary goal.

Yes, this money is not the government's. It is created by methods that will result in inflation? And will result in redistribution of wealth? Everyone will lose this amount of money and more through inflation? To take and use this money will reduce the personal effects of the coming inflation?

I worried at first that I did not "deserve" the first check. By the time I received mine, I had been denied money that I was "entitled" to. It just evened out the losses, and I took the check with no quilt. I am still suffering loss of several benefits that I am "entitled" to. Instead of fighting for what is "mine", I am surviving and waiting to see what comes next.

I trust God to send me what he wants to be in my pocket and what he trusts me to use and what he trusts me to give. I accepted the wagon that Benjamin gifted me. And I have been strengthened by the wagon and extra food stamps enough to pay forward the gifts over and over and over. When I am dragging home my water and groceries, and pass dehydrated and exhausted homeless people sprawled on the sidewalk, I can reach into my wagon and share what I have, water always being the most appreciated item.

At times of my life, I have self-neglected for multiple reasons. All forms of neglect are wrong, including and maybe especially self-neglect. God values us differently than our siblings. We need to be careful to take what we need to sustain ourselves at the level needed to accomplish our purpose. We are sinning if we keep ourselves too resource-less to do his will. Without the wagon and "extra" food stamps, I cannot give away water.

I think it might even be illegal for me to give away water purchased with food stamps. Sigh. The Bible says to follow the laws until they conflict with the laws of God. Walking past a person on the sidewalk with cracked lips and open festering sores that is out of their head with metal illness or fever or dehydration or all three without offering water is against the laws of God.

Some of us must maneuver differently now. This is a new world.

 

The Bureau of Fiscal Service accepts donations for reducing the national debt. You cannot refuse the stimulus check, but you can send your own check for the amount of the stimulus back to the federal government.

It is important for people to understand that stimulus money is borrowed. It is a loan from the Treasury. Even if you send it back you will not be exempt from the tax increases that will be a result of this experiment in Socialism. If taxes are only increased on top wage earners there will be negative consequences for everyone. When top wage earners are taxed at a higher rate they pull their money back from the economy. Large businesses do this by parking their cash reserves overseas. High net worth individuals do this by pulling back on investments and small business expansion. This has a negative trickle down effect on the economy.

 

Pay off debt to incur more debt!

 

I believe it my duty to stimulate the economy with it, as intended.
