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.

A total of $2000 was always the plan. Bernie and Hawley were trying to get $2000 into the bill, not $2600. When $600 passed, the Biden transition said they would increase it to $2000. Biden's recent tweet was unclear, but that's what he was referring back to.

imagine waiting for $2000 checks and instead you get one for $600 and another for $1400... "Hey chief, I checked it out. It all adds up."

Poor messaging. They should bump the checks to $2,000 and communicate better going forward. No reason not to.
