$12,000 of Free Money?

So there is this chatter going on.....some Democrats in the House want to 'gift' you $2,000 a month (like the $1200 'gift') for six months.....as long as harsh times exist.

Odds of this passing?  In the House, I'd give it 90-percent chance.  The Senate?  It might not go....or they might trim it to $1,000 a month.

Some people would readily admit....they need some boost to survive the next month or two.  $2,000 would probably be helpful.

Some other folks would admit....they don't need the cash.  These are the people who'd get the $12,000 after six months, and likely blow it on some world-cruise, or some month-long trip to Australia.

Here's the kicker....the way that the wording is going....it'd be tax-free.  Seriously, they can't be that crazy.
