McSally’s massive travel stimulus bill would require the travel to be within the United States but at least 50 miles from your principal residence.

You could use the money on travel to your vacation home, but not for vacation home lodging expenses.

The bill “will encourage Americans to safely get out of their homes and discover or rediscover Arizona along with the rest of the amazing destinations our country has to offer after a difficult several months stuck inside,” McSally said.

1. Great idea, but try convincing people to get on a plane or stay at a hotel.

Or going any main attractions like theme parks or concerts.

Better idea would be to give that money so anyone can spend it at any retail establishment not called "Amazon".

[riversedge]

2. But it is a thingy when you have to wait for your tax return to come back--and like the

posts said--who has 8,000 laying around--or more.

Perhaps the middle class or above do. Lots having problems paying rent etc that need this money. IMHO

[Brother Buzz]

3. Martha, could be use this 'free' money to pay our mounting bills?

Asking for a friend

[lagomorph777]

25. Sorry, that would be socialism.

A free vacation is good ol' fashioned 'Merkan capitalism. See?

[Midnight Writer]

4. The people are hungry and losing their homes. McSally: "Let them eat cake!"

[Nevilledog]

5. I'm holding out until she throws in a pony.

[riversedge]

6. ha ha ha. This gave me a good chuckle.

[Nevilledog]

7. ..

29. I'm waiting for the full unicorn.

and a couple of dogs for the whole enchilada dog and equine show!

[torius]

8. Lots of people would pay her that much

to take a vacation...

[jaysunb]

9. This is one of many reasons she'll be losing in November. Nt

10. That Should Cover 1 Day In Hospital For Covid-19 After Vacation nt

[NBachers]

11. Gettin' a bit worried about Mark and Gabby are we, Martha?

[Retrograde]

12. Fine for me, being retired

and living off savings, but there are a lot of people struggling to keep roofs over their heads and put food on their tables. They would probably be a lot better off with, say, $200 a week to help with basics.

Even if someone paid me, I'm leery of traveling much right now: I might do a day trip in the immediate area, but going to Arizona - and staying in a hotel - is still right out.

[qazplm135]

13. And how would they track

That you actually went on a vacation?

[orwell]

14. This is so moronic...

...it is laughable.

Why not just flush money down a toilet. That would employ more plumbers!

[Journeyman]

16. If someone offered me $4000+ to leave town the day before Trump was due to arrive . . .

my wife and I would take 'em up on it.

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. Always read the fine print...

"* Payable in DonnieDollar$, redeemable at any Trump-branded resort."

[Bengus81]

28. LOL!!!!

[Vinca]

18. GOP going directly to Plan B: buy the vote.

[2naSalit]

19. Buy the vote, spread the virus.

It seems as though they intend to spread the virus throughout the country leaving no county untainted. Seriously, they they they can get away with killing hundreds of thousands of people.

20. 30% of Americans missed their June housing payments.

McSally is an idiot. I hope the voters of Arizona send her on a permanent vacation.

[jmg257]

21. Well - shit - I have been on a (furlough) "vacation" for 3 months...we could claim all the food and

other expenses we have had (mortgage, gas, etc.) and put the $8000 tax credit towards the UI taxes we will be scraping to pay. I'll have to go food shopping 51 miles away next time.


Because Lord knows when(if) I get back to work who knows when, it'll be totally cool to take a vacation!

[tinrobot]

22. A $4000 tax break, but only for people who can afford to spend $4000

You get the money back after you spend it.

This is only for upper middle class and above, commoners need not apply.

How about GIVING unemployed people $4000 so they can buy groceries and pay rent?

[Hugin]

31. It's the typical GrOPper 2-4-1 coupon.

That way they can be seen as giving out things nobody can use.

Also, it keeps out the riff-raff, don't ya know.

[JDC]

23. But Buzz Windrip says everyone should get $5000

[Demsrule86]

24. My husband and I are out of work. I don't need 4000 damn dollars to go on a fucking vacation.

McSally is clueless... I worry about paying my mortgage and putting food on the table.

[lunasun]

26. Let them take a vacation.

No rent $,no job, recovering from covid, no new shoes? Let them take a vacation

[dansolo]

27. This is just subsidies for the hospitality industry and the wealthy

It doesn't help average people with their expenses. It subsidizes the hospitality industry, and is a huge tax break for anyone wealthy enough to be able to take an expensive vacation.

[tinrobot]

33. Gee, I wonder who owns a lot of hotels?

Can't seem to conjure up his name - fat guy, tiny hands, ugly combover...

[Mike 03]

30. Incentivized risk-taking

But I'm not surprised vacations are on McSally's mind, since she'll be taking a very long one after Senator Mark Kelly is sworn in.

[MagickMuffin]

32. We don't need your stinkin' bribe

That won't work. Plus if it means having to spend it in AZ then again I don't want your stinkin' bribe!
