Unfortunately, for those wondering, the article says economists say that with the current economy, steady GDP growth, low unemployment, and easing inflation, stimulus checks are unlikely. Congress must also pass stimulus checks and not the president himself.

"Something that voters believe is that the government should print lots of money and give it out to people for free in order to fight inflation," this person said.

"Trump signing the stimulus checks was a brilliant move. Good example of how he has an intuitive understanding of how to appeal to a certain type of voter," another person pointed out.

And then there are a bunch of people talking about universal basic income.

Anyway, I'd love a stimulus, but unfortunately it looks like it's not gonna happen.
