Gas on the fire… 14 states approve stimulus checks as inflation continues to rise

WASHINGTON (TND) —

14 states are offering stimulus payments as an answer to high gas prices and soaring inflation. But some economists warn that stimulus payments in 2020 are what led to current rising costs.

23 million California residents will receive inflation relief as high as $1,050. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a bill authorizing a one-time $250 tax rebate for single taxpayers and $500 for joint taxpayers. Other states such as Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois and Indiana have all filed suit in issuing tax rebates or stimulus checks. But where is the money coming from?
