Since I can recall, but especially since the Obama Administration, I have been very conscious about speaking negative words concerning the POTUSs. For me, regardless of political party or individual, I don't believe the public will ever fully know the truth about the politics or the person. Just as Former President Obama did, now does President Trump, delivers to eligible citizens a stimulus check. I have learned through experience, observation, and wisdom that it is a dangerously slippery slope to stañd in judgement and criticism of our own government, whether it is based on good, bad, or indifferent information.

Thank you my friend PO3 Phyllis Maynard for posting an excellent question.
Typically many left-leaning folks credit the divided Congress for providing stimulus checks of taxpayer funds.
My darling wife and her 97-year-old mom have received their stimulus check. The two adult sons living with us and I have not yet received our checks - God's timing is perfect.
I will use my mine to pay down my mother-in-law's tax debt and for groceries primarily.

I am thankful we have President Trump leading us at this time - we need a strong leader who does not support corrupt cronies. I don't agree with all he does or says but I trust his judgement and business acumen. I am also thankful that George W. Bush was POTUS on 9-11-2001.
Thankfully God is in control. I di not support Donald Trump until God told me to pray for him in August 2016. I questioned God and HE reiterated.
I had been praying for the President and his wife since George H.W. Bush was President. I realized that God had chosen Donald Trump for HIS own reasons.

LTC Stephen F. isn't it absolutely Divine how circumstances humble us in the midst of our limited judgements. Only GOD knows the ending to the story.

The same could be said about anyone who has said that other government support us "socialism." They, equally, should not cash their checks. Actually, more so.

This stimulus didn't solely come from POTUS. Congress initiated and passed it.

Maj John Bell - "The Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch agreed to indiscriminately return money seized by the IRS using the police powers of the state." Incorrect. They borrowed trillions of dollars; future generations will have to pay back that loan. If anything, they seized money from our kids and grandkids.

"Have you ever personally benefited from a government policy that you thought was not good policy?" Not that I'm aware of, but I'm sure there may be some obscure policy out there with which I disagree that has benefited me in some way.

1SG Walter Craig - Simpler solution, the government sticks to the Constitution, and Americans look to themselves instead of the nanny state and the next three generations to bail them out.

The stimulus money came from the taxpayers. There is no magic pot of Congress money or Persident money. It’s all taxpayer money. If a person needs the money then use it. If you don’t need the money then contribute to a charity.

The stimulus money came from future taxpayers, many of whom aren't even born yet.
