While your statement is not inclusive of, nor describes, all Villager's...I completely understand your point.

If someone with an actual net worth of say 7 figures, but is easily getting by yearly with just their SS checks (and maybe part-time work to keep from being bored)...will be getting a check.

In the interest of overall fairness...that doesn't seem right to me.

It would, of course, have taken too much time to determine those who actually don't really need it because of their savings/investment/home equity/Etc., so I get why they're immediately sending it out to all SS beneficiaries and/or to whose yearly income was below the set thresholds (regardless of their actual net worth), but I wished they were able to give more to those who really need it...and nothing to those of us who don't.

It's a moot point for me personally, but it is interesting to watch on how many folks seem to be rapidly changing their minds (albeit, maybe they don't even realize it)...about socialism.
