Remember $2,000 checks? Well… Dems are working on $1,400 checks, so you’ll get to $2K when they’re combined with the earlier $600 stimulus. It’s not *quite* a bait and switch, says economist @StephanieKelton, but “my sense is that an awful lot of people are responding” badly.

Why are you ignoring the rest of the bill? Literally, one of the most ignorant or disingenuous moves you could make.

At the very least the incoming administration doesn’t know how to speak to most people. That’s a problem. Loving The Deficit Myth by the way.

This is the definition of a bait and switch lmao. It’s quite obvious that they either knew it was 1400 but wanted to bait people into thinking it was 2k by literally saying it was 2k or they realized they could get away with giving us less with semantics. That’s the “switch” part

It's not only a messaging problem @StephanieKelton. It's a starvation, homelessness, political corruption, Joe biden-being-a-career-liar problem.
