You can't live on $60,000 in any major metropolitan area.

Biden isn't gonna go for that. I don't know if that's accurate.

Make the check $5000. Give the money people making 60k+ should be getting to those making less than 60k.

Hold Congress's pay, no recess, no trial until AFTER AMERICAN'S get aid. Otherwise, #seatsforAmericans. Too many dying waiting for govt to get their priorities right!

So having millions or billions doesn't disqualify you from getting #CovidRelief but being middle class rather than lower middle class or poor is unacceptable? This makes sense b/c the #middleclass costs the #wealthy too much money. #StimulusCheck = #Payroll @POTUS @VP

This hapless wringing of hands over "getting it right" is so pathetically predictable. It's why the center-left is filled with resigned long-gamers and the right is filled with disdain. And nothing changes.

Everyone should get a check now work out details later. Everyone has been through heck

Just give it to All now and tax the rich later. Count it as income. We already have a system to get the money back. Use it.

If there’s a minimum wage there must also be a maximum wage! #nomorebillionaires
