If only we were this stingy with the ultra rich.

We'd have to pay Yellen 900K for "speeches" for that to happen.

The threshold should be established according average monthly income in the last quarter of 2020. 2019 it's madness!!

The Democrats spend more time tag-teaming with the GOP than they do representing the people that voted for them.

Yeah I hate this whole threshold thing, and the fact that it's based on 2019 income. I don't care if you were making even 100k in 2019, if you weren't able to work in 2020, you are hurting.

How would it be so hard to verify current income levels vs 2019 levels and use that data to come up with a threshold, based on reduced income? Go apply for any loan and they can verify your current income in minutes, but the gov't has to rely on 2019 income data. Shameful.

I would like to see her stretch 60k to support herself.

is she not smart enough to know that jobs were lost in 2020 and that doesn't show on 2019 income. seriously confused.

When people realize they got checks from Trump and not from Dems, they're DEF gonna vote for dems again.... great strategy....

Not sure if it should be 60K or 80K or 150K. Who doesn't like free money? But shouldn't there be some 'need' attached to the assistance? Why not just boost unemployment? Do people who are making 80K really need a check?
