The United States government has sent out stimulus checks to some residents to help keep them afloat during the coronavirus quarantine. It’s all some people are talking about, so it’s no wonder that these checks have become the focus of a lot of jokes on the internet.
The checks are each worth 1,200 dollars and internet users are joking about how they’re already planning to buy TVs, laptops, and spend the money as soon as they can. While others are poking fun at the fact that it’s now the IRS sending them money, instead of the other way around.
“We can confirm that payments are beginning to arrive in some Americans’ accounts," a senior Treasury official told ABC News. Scroll down for the best stimulus check jokes that Bored Panda has compiled, upvote your faves, and let us know in the comments what you’re going to do with your check if you live in the US, dear Pandas. And read on for Bored Panda's interview with financial expert Sam Dogen, founder of the Financial Samurai blog, about stimulus checks and how much they'll help Americans out.

Does the weak Cheeto represent the poor leadership of the Orange Cheeto in the White House?
Trump only agreed to the $1200 because it's an election year.
Your "check" comes with tRump's name on it ... just like his "charity" ... he got others to give him money then put his name on the checks like it was his money to give. The only exception with his charity and the stimulus check, he usually paid himself.

I'm putting it in savings rather than checking so I don't spend it accidentally. I have a disability claim with Social Security that could take up to a year to be resolved, so I might need it before then.
now they get to tell people "its in the mail" instead of hearing it for years
This would mean, in most cases, that your parent(s) is/are spending way, way, way more than $1200 each year to support you and put you through college.

Don't get me wrong, I'll damn sure take the money, ( if it ever comes). I'm just wondering where it's coming from and how the government is going to get it back. I'm betting higher taxes on the middle class. It damn sure won't be on corporations or 1%ers.
It'll be a mixture of quantitative easing (printing money) and a bond issue. Yeah, ya'll will be paying it back out of taxes for many, many years. It's certainly not a free lunch.

We're actually projected to have over 61,000 deaths before August. And that's without a second spike brought about by red states acting like idiots.
