The Bill Passed For Second Stimulus Check And Hazard Pay For Essential Workers

The House successfully passed a fourth stimulus relief package yesterday. The $3 trillion Heroes Act contains a second round of $1,200 stimulus checks, $200 billion in hazard pay for essential workers, six additional months of COVID-19 unemployment, funding for state, local and tribal governments and food and housing assistance among several other things. Overall, three different stimulus relief packages have so far gone on to become law and are currently being implemented throughout the nation. Though the Republican-led Senate is pushing against injecting more stimulus money into the economy, Friday’s House vote was a huge step towards delivering a fourth stimulus package to America.

Most Americans, including the unemployed, employed, employers, governments, students and families, have an interest in many aspects of the newest stimulus package; however, some aspects stand out more than most for some I have spoken with. Based on these studies and the near daily conversations I have with a cross-section of employers, executives and employees, there is huge interest in two specific core aspects. A bunch of discussion occurs around whether Congress will pass a second round of stimulus checks and whether it will pass hazard pay for essential workers.

Here are the questions we have been getting and howThe Heroes Act that the House passed yesterday advances some answers.

This tax paying American born white boy (76 years) has not received the first 1200 stimulus. I only say white because I assume that is the standard today. Anything said on the news most of the time label the flavor and EVERYTHING Is referred to as race. You are a racist if you don’t label it or if you do. So I don’t known. Anyway, I started working on the farm at home around 10 yoa and still trying when my body lets me. I don’t need the funds but will take it. If I don’t it could end up in the hands of a non tax paying, non citizen. There again they are illegal but referred to as (undocumented). I guess the news folks don’t want to offend them but again I don’t know being a Somerset County boy (that’s what we call it) resident. I do know they don’t mind offending me when they offend my president. I look at some of the trash employed by us in Washington D.C. drawing a handsome wage, plus all they can steal, and it wouldn’t hurt my feelings to accept a stimulus. There was a time when we went without before applying for unemployment benefits. Heck, no wonder they refuse to retiree (even though it’s not meant to be a career position. All you can steal is some benefit don’t you thing?

No, do not like to hear this. People, you have got to know the government gives you absolutely nothing for free, we all are going to pay dearly for all this stimulus stuff. Live within your means and quit expecting the government to continue to give to you.
