Wow - 0.98 million just under 3 million
[6]
people file for unemployment last week
[9]
alone bringing the total up to 36
[13]
million census all started right now we
[15]
are at a 14 point 7 percent unemployment
[19]
rate greatest percentage the Great
[22]
Depression
[22]
I mean it's weed like we know if this is
[26]
all going on until you actually like see
[27]
the numbers is just staggering like how
[30]
insane this is what's going on y'all hey
[33]
this is Jeff rose welcome back to wealth
[34]
hacker labs just want to give another
[35]
update on what's going on right now with
[38]
the economic stimulus packages just
[40]
recently it was announced that Democrats
[43]
are putting out what's called the heroes
[45]
Act and this is their latest version
[49]
their latest version of a second
[51]
stimulus package in this package I'm
[54]
sure you probably have already read the
[56]
news watch to their videos but this is
[58]
the package where they're offering a
[61]
second $1200 stimulus check this is very
[64]
similar to the cares Act you are married
[67]
with a spouse you'll get $2,400 one of
[69]
the big changes here is that if you have
[71]
dependents you'll get up to $1200 per
[75]
dependent up to three children so
[77]
potentially a total of $6,000
[80]
that's by far like some of the biggest
[82]
changes right now you know it the
[85]
question is is that how likely is this
[88]
going to pass I'm I'm still amazed I'm
[91]
still getting people commenting on my
[93]
channel saying that they still haven't
[95]
received their first economic stimulus
[98]
check and looking at my clock looking at
[100]
my calendar
[101]
it's May the 14th I know several people
[104]
had their checks directly deposited I
[106]
know some people received it in the mail
[108]
I've seen the picture of the check you
[111]
know with Donald Trump's name and the
[112]
signature block you know so the checks
[115]
have been going out and actually you we
[117]
know that dead people have received
[119]
their checks and yet many people still
[121]
haven't received their first check which
[123]
is just crazy but just to address you
[126]
know the question how likely is a second
[129]
economic stimulus check second economics
[133]
his package going to pass you know so
[135]
once again just kind of breaking this
[137]
down so this hero's act is a three
[139]
trillion three trillion dollar packet
[144]
and it's already getting pushback it's
[146]
already being pushback from the
[147]
Republicans just because there's just a
[149]
lot of a lot of fats just a lot of a lot
[152]
of pork in this thing and just you know
[155]
so why like what some of the big things
[157]
once again the new bill is providing a
[160]
second economic stimulus check $1,200 if
[163]
you are making less than 75,000 you
[166]
qualify if you're making more than
[168]
75,000 you're single you'll be getting
[170]
you'll beginning starting to get phased
[172]
out if you are a joint married with a
[176]
spouse making more than hundred fifty
[178]
thousand very similar to care Zack
[180]
you'll get phased out I already talked
[182]
about the dependent so instead of five
[184]
hundred dollars you get up to $1200 per
[187]
dependent capped off at three this also
[190]
this bill also expands so here's where
[193]
also it was different with the cares act
[195]
expands the pool of people eligible for
[197]
checks to every qualify person on a tax
[200]
return meaning that if one ineligible
[202]
spouse wouldn't interfere with the other
[204]
spouses payment and I talked about this
[206]
in the last video basically in the
[208]
carers Act if you had a Social Security
[210]
number but your spouse didn't didn't
[212]
have a tax ID number then you both
[214]
didn't receive a check so that's
[216]
something that's been updated here on
[218]
this packet the money would be
[219]
distributed the same way I know some of
[221]
you were just so excited to hear that
[222]
right the money is distributed that the
[225]
same way either direct deposit hopefully
[228]
to the account that you wanted to go
[230]
into or if you don't have direct deposit
[232]
on file with the IRS we're gonna send
[234]
you a paper check they have eliminated
[237]
any potential for your checks to be
[240]
garnished you know whether or you just
[242]
sort of back taxes or whatever reason
[244]
creditors trying to come after you but
[246]
by far like the biggest roadblock right
[248]
now is some of the provisions that are
[251]
on here you know for example right now
[253]
how the package how the hero's act is
[255]
currently written they're trying to
[258]
eliminate the salt cap and know the
[260]
government's not looking out for your
[262]
health and trying to eliminate your
[263]
sodium intake to help out
[265]
high cholesterol or high blood pressure
[267]
no the salt tax basically we're talking
[269]
about here is the state and local taxes
[272]
you know so basically all the standard
[274]
deductions that you can get on whatever
[276]
you're filing your taxes so they're
[277]
trying to eliminate that and there's
[279]
also 875 billion of the 3 trillion that
[284]
are allocated towards state and local
[285]
governments and that's the vague
[287]
description of this but when you kind of
[290]
peel back the layers it's are seeing
[292]
like weird the money's allocated you
[294]
know this is just where they're
[295]
currently not agreeing on and there was
[297]
a lot of similarities in the cares Act
[298]
there's a lot of stuff that they could
[300]
agree upon but other stuff that there
[302]
was just they were just at odds trying
[304]
to get this together now I find this
[305]
interesting so spokesmen for the Senate
[307]
Finance Committee chairman chuck
[309]
Grassley Grassley from Iowa said the
[312]
bill will be and I quote DOA in the
[316]
Senate so dead on an arrival so that's
[318]
basically in its current form it ain't
[320]
gonna pass that's basically what he is
[322]
saying and well there are several
[323]
different provisions that are included
[325]
in this heroes Act I mean one of the
[327]
ones for example that the Republicans
[328]
are pushing back on is that of that
[331]
eighty eight hundred seventy five
[332]
billion twenty five billion is put aside
[336]
for the United States Postal Service now
[340]
the last time that you've been to a post
[343]
office but another one in my area man
[345]
these people are they're just not happy
[347]
I mean they're not happy people god
[349]
bless them so I don't know the 25
[352]
billion is gonna increase their work
[354]
environment and make them happy but you
[357]
know right now especially with you you
[358]
got ups he got fed eggs you got DHL and
[361]
the United States Postal Service man
[363]
it's become an anchor antiquated system
[365]
hence why many of you are still waiting
[367]
on your first 1,200 our economic
[371]
stimulus check now one of the provisions
[372]
I think that many of Congress and many
[375]
even Americans agree with in this heroes
[377]
Act is that as it stands right now with
[380]
the cares Act your unemployment benefits
[382]
so there's extra 600 a month that you
[385]
might be getting is set to expire in
[387]
July so the way that the heroes Act is
[390]
written this would continue so you're
[392]
$600 a month would continue until
[394]
January 31st 2021 and the way that it's
[398]
written is that it wouldn't just stop
[400]
immediately right then it would start to
[403]
base out over a certain period of time
[406]
just basically kind of written into
[408]
language that in the event that things
[411]
aren't where they need to be January of
[413]
next year
[414]
who put that in perspective is like
[416]
thinking of things aren't back to
[417]
somewhat normal by next year anyone go
[419]
there right now let's live in the
[421]
present but anyway it doesn't just
[423]
automatically end right there and I
[425]
think right now especially that's just
[427]
one of the biggest benefits obviously
[428]
getting another check would help out a
[431]
lot of people and then also extending
[433]
those unemployment benefits as well so
[435]
the voting on this heroes Act is
[437]
supposed to happen
[438]
this Friday and the question is is it
[441]
going to get passed on Friday and the
[443]
answer is heck no of course not even the
[446]
cares Act even with that like that one
[449]
we all agree that we all felt like man
[451]
we something needed to be done and even
[453]
that the urgency of that need to get
[456]
done I mean they just went back and
[457]
forth and that took several days for it
[458]
to finally get passed so right now
[460]
there's just so much pushback right now
[462]
in just spending printing more money you
[466]
know another three trillion dollars that
[468]
nothing's going to happen this Friday
[470]
and I'll expect anything to happen even
[472]
next week as well I mean this is
[474]
something that it's going to be they're
[475]
gonna wait some time for the states to
[477]
start opening up businesses getting
[480]
people back to work seeing how that's
[481]
going to play out see how for the states
[484]
that have started their phase one
[486]
integration of just opening back up
[488]
seeing how Cova 19 cases are going to
[491]
are they gonna continue to decrease
[493]
increase and what's going to play out
[495]
there I mean there's just so much
[496]
uncertainty going on I just want off for
[498]
some of my thoughts because I know like
[499]
in my previous videos you know I've
[501]
definitely I've definitely supported
[503]
something happening you know and I've
[505]
also hinted or alluded the fact that you
[508]
know what part of this falls back on us
[511]
us the American on like our
[513]
responsibilities having appropriate
[515]
savings and managing our money and just
[517]
budgeting and one of things I would say
[520]
is that if you haven't done this yet I
[523]
mean this is a prime opportunity to
[526]
start looking into building secondary
[528]
income and I get it like wait what do
[530]
you mean how do I do that like I'm
[531]
stuck at home I can't go anywhere there
[533]
are so many different opportunities
[535]
online that exist that you can start
[537]
making money whether it's freelancing
[539]
consulting even by God like filling out
[544]
online surveys which I know are just a
[547]
lot of feels like you're watching paint
[551]
dry but the reality is that you doing
[555]
something trying to generate some sort
[558]
of extra income right now instead of
[560]
getting caught up on Netflix getting
[563]
watching your favorite shows been binge
[565]
watching the office for like the seventh
[567]
time right now you have opportunity you
[570]
have time to start educating yourself
[573]
start doing research to find out what
[575]
other opportunities exist out there and
[578]
I've had a chance to record this video
[580]
yeah but even my youngest son you know
[582]
we're totally into sneakers it's one of
[584]
the things I've really enjoyed and with
[587]
him like I've been showing him like how
[588]
he can make money just reselling
[592]
sneakers and I'm he's 12 years old and I
[594]
know in the last few weeks like he's
[595]
made almost three or four hundred
[597]
dollars on his own twelve-year-old now
[599]
on his own because his dad is showing
[601]
him how to do it but nonetheless like I
[604]
showed him how to do it showed him what
[605]
to look for and he's taking that
[607]
information and he's turned that into
[610]
real money and that's just like one
[612]
small example of the opportunities that
[615]
exist out there and if you're interested
[616]
I'm been wanting to do more of these
[619]
type videos just to give you more
[620]
information to give you more resources I
[622]
mean this is what the wealth hacker
[623]
channel was initially started for which
[626]
is show people this now with everything
[628]
that's going on the world you know kind
[629]
of took a slight pivot just want to
[631]
update on everything what's going on
[632]
with these economic stimulus packages
[634]
and just keeping you updated but just so
[637]
you know if you haven't looked to the
[639]
archives yet seeing some of the other
[641]
videos we have on this channel there's a
[642]
ton of resources up there and just
[644]
helping you because that was the
[645]
original foundation the reason why this
[648]
channel started was to show you
[650]
different ways of making money of
[652]
growing wealth that is much faster than
[655]
was typically thought out there but
[657]
anyway just want to share that
[658]
information because there's
[659]
opportunities and if you're not taking
[661]
advantage of the opportunities
[663]
this is a it's a golden opportunity
[665]
because you got nothing else to do right
[667]
now you've got nothing else to do but to
[670]
educate yourself and instead of putting
[672]
all the pressure putting all just
[677]
putting it on the government to take
[678]
care of us like I mean this in the
[680]
kindest way but screw them right like
[683]
screw them I mean they're yes they're
[685]
taking care of us but why are we putting
[688]
so much giving them so much control on
[691]
our happiness on our outcome instead of
[693]
taking charge of our own life and
[696]
creating our own destiny
[698]
all right so that was just a little
[700]
little rant there a little wealth hacker
[701]
ramp but don't like I just need to share
[703]
that this morning and yeah just kind of
[705]

[707]
