But why? Why????
President Biden told House Democrats Wednesday he won’t lower his proposed $1,400 stimulus payments, but would be willing to send them to a smaller group by lowering income eligibility thresholds. wsj.com/articles/biden-signa…

It’s STILL $1400 ( not $2000) ? Oy vey!

I’m also asking why Biden is telling his own party that he won’t LOWER the check amount. Why were the democrats trying to get him to do so?

Because why not be cruel? Why not lose 2022?

People who haven't lost their job or seen their pay decrease because of the pandemic shouldn't receive money

are people really mad that couples earning $250,000 a year might not get a stimulus check

You know why. Because "nothing will fundamentally change". For 40+ years, Biden has shown us, in his words and actions, who he is- someone who is dishonest and serves corporate donors instead of the people.

Probably requested by his donors.

Then stop calling it a “stimulus” and call it “survival” checks.

Because a Harvard economics professor’s research found that people making over $75,000 were saving, rather than spending, the stimulus payments, thus not stimulating the economy while also benefiting those in need.
