    Sometimes I think the worst aspect of Trump is not even his behavior, rather it's watching his supporters further and further debase themselves by defending him or looking the other way.

      @Mik said in "Mr. President, when are you going to sign the checks?":

      Do we know they were delayed for that reason or are we just assuming and trotting out his signature as the reason? He certainly walked into right it if it was his idea.

      The Treasury said the paper checks are rolling out on schedule and that adding his signature added no time to the check printing dates.

      Figured as much. How much time does it take to sub one signature for another in a computer program? Payroll departments do it all the time.

      @Jolly It is a completely unnecessary change that (1) creates extra work for the IRS in a time of crisis and (2) confers no additional benefit to the nation. For that, it deserves criticism.

        Try to imagine what job would have said it Trump delayed the printing of the checks for one day.

        Look, adding a sit to a monumental program has been done in the past and it will be done in the future.

        It's a nonstory for the TDS crowd.

          Honestly any additional delay or effort is trivial in the grand scheme of things.

          It's really the principle of it, l'Etat, c'est lui.

            The IRS has a due date of 7/15 for tax returns. I suspect they aren't near as busy this time of year as usual.

            And if you judge the Federal government by the yardstick of unnecessary, let's have a talk about the Department of Education and their 68 billion dollar budget.

              @Jolly you see federal work that is "unnecessary," so you criticize that.
              Adding Trump's name to the checks is definitely unnecessary. So that, too, deserves criticism.

                Standard for any politician.

                  Excuse me, who is the President? Does it hurt to have his name on the check? How much was the supplemental appropriation to hire the army of programmers it took to effect this change?

                  Your position is so absurd, it's laughable. You have now equated a small signature change that cost nothing, to an unneeded federal department that costs billions of dollars.

                  Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!

                      Because legally, you can't do that. Do you wish to change the law?

                        The optics of the check sig are terrible, no matter how you look at it.

                            I'm pretty sure Trump has already toyed with the idea of his signature and image on dollar bills.

                                It's almost as bad as Pelosi and her big box of ink pens with her name on them that she handed out when she signed the papers that were intended to put a stamp on the democrat's waste of millions of taxpayer dollars and 3 years of time they could have spent actually doing their job. You know - another one of those things you Trump bashers never bother to talk about.

                                        Unrelated question:

                                        When is the US going to get rid of checks? The last time I used one must have been in the early 1990s. I don't quite understand why they are still in use.

                                          Probably sometime between 2050 and never.
