on a fourth stimulus check.

[76]
Taxes are due today so make sure you get your tax return post marked and in the mail or
[85]
file for an extension to avoid the penalty.
[90]
On the topic of the IRS I had a few people mention in the comments that you have to file
[95]
a tax return by today or you don t get the child tax credit in July.
[103]
I ve read up on that and I don t believe that is true.
[108]
The IRS is saying there will be a portal to update your information, address, banking
[118]
information, marital status and children or grandchildren.
[122]
So just hang tight and I ll continue to update you on that.
[132]
At the same time, we were told there would be a portal for Biden s stimulus check and
[141]
that wasn t true so I ll just continue to research and report as things happen or change.
[151]
Speaking of Biden s stimulus checks, many of you have been asking me for an opinion
[156]
on a 4th stimulus check.
[158]
I ve tried to always be honest with my community.
[161]
I don t know if there will be a 4th stimulus check so I just report
[176]
on who in congress wants them and for how much they want them to be.
[185]
I think it would be inappropriate for me to say they will happen and it would be inappropriate
[194]
to say they won t happen.
[195]
So I just tell you what I am reading and researching.
[199]
Around late November of last year I nearly stopped doing stimulus check updates but I
[211]
chose to be there for my community on other topics while still reporting on who wanted
[219]
them and for how much.
[221]
Well they ended up happening for $600 with the promise to do a bigger one under Biden
[226]
for $1400.
[227]
So I m going to continue to cover news in Washington DC, all the stimulus programs,
[233]
money, the economy and yes 4th stimulus check information as it is discussed.
[242]
So my opinion is I don t know if it will happen but if they are in the news, I ll cover it.
[246]
Right now in the news is 70 members on Congress saying one more check is needed.
[253]
I hope this makes sense.
[254]
I ve never click baited you or misled you so I m just going to continue being the best
[258]
source of information as I can be for my community.
[260]
By the way, thank you so much for giving my videos a like.
[264]
I love bringing my community the daily news.
[271]
The IRS said one million more stimulus checks payments went out this weekend.
[276]
Close to 500,000 of those will be electronic which means they will likely hit this Wednesday
[282]
so if you are still waiting they are going out.
[286]
Also the irs has close to $2 billion in plus up stimulus money going out to the American
[298]
people whose tax returns are just now being dealt with.
[302]
Remember the plus up stimulus check is for those that didn t qualify because their 2019
[309]
income was too high so they either got no check or a lowered check.
[312]
Now with people filing 2020, if their income was lower they qualify for some amount of
[318]
stimulus so the IRS called it a plus up IRS stimulus Check.
[326]
1.25 million stimulus checks have never been cashed.
[334]
If you haven t gotten yours this might be your money.
[339]
You need to call the irs because it could have been thrown away or sent to an old address
[345]
or the attempted to direct deposit but couldn t process so for those that write me in the
[357]
comments you are still waiting on a past stimulus check, you might be one of the 1.25 million
[364]
they are holding money for.
[367]
Just over a week ago I told you about how Representative Richard Neal wants to see Child
[374]
Tax credits increase to $8000 a year and be permanent.
[380]
He s since said he might also want to see a senior care tax credit for families that
[387]
care for aging parents and count them as a dependent on their taxes.
[392]
Representative Neal has recently broken away from Biden s infrastructure bill by saying
[398]
he d like to explore ways to help the country without having the raise taxes right now.
[404]
He wants to see a focus on child care, health care and senior care as our population is
[410]
aging and not able to keep up with rising prices.
[422]
More will come from him I am sure.
[434]
Now 18 states have now announced they will be ending the $300 per week federal unemployment
[439]
boost early in an attempt to get people back to work.
[445]
President Biden acknowledged for the first time that some employers and jobs might have
[451]
a hard time filling positions but that the $300 per week boost was no showing measurable
[457]
impact on the jobs report.
[463]
Last week 473,000 people filed for unemployment.
[476]
This is the lowest since the pandemic started.
[482]
Some economists worry this move will show a drop in national GDP or in some of the major
[490]
states while others say a drop would be expected as the economy returns to money being spent
[506]
from income and not from government programs.
[513]
The people most hurt by this change will be those that will be looking for work that pays
[518]
less than what they were earning before becoming unemployed.
[523]
With pipeline being shut down or hacked, the US has seem a dramatic jump in prices at the
[530]
gas pump.
[531]
Part of California are nearing $5 a gallon while parts of virigina jumped to over $7
[541]
a gallon because of the Colonial pipeline hack.
[545]
Critics of Biden are saying his attempt at being the next President Franklin D Roosevelt
[550]
are making him look more like a President Jimmy Carter with gas line, food shortages
[555]
and higher gas prices.
[560]
Last week many of you shared with me that your gas price was near $3.50 a gallon.
[568]
Hopefully as the Colonial Gas line comes back on gas prices will lower.
[578]
Also, several states are suing President Biden to re-open the keystone pipeline to lower
[586]
gas prices and create jobs.
[589]
The crisis as the border isn t just the increase in children being dropped off or people crossing,
[596]
that has increased significantly as I shared with you last week.
[603]
However, drugs crossing into the United states has also increased.
[609]
Drug cartels are distracting border agents and then sneaking drugs in at a different
[616]
location.
[617]
According to Governor Abbott of Texas, Fentanyl interception has increased by over 800%.
[625]
They ve also seen a huge spike in Cocaine, Meth and with the price of lumber increasing
[631]
over 400% there is now a black market for lumber.
[637]
