All along I've hated trump, and thought biden sucked all the same minus the whole inciting riots etc. His policies are bogus. A lot of people voted for him because of his stance on stimulus shit. Straight from the democrats very own sky daddy shaun king...
Biden is bootleg.

Some context in case people aren't following:
House passed the bill saying that anyone making up to 75k gets a $1400 check, with a gradual phase out until 100k (single tax payer income numbers). The Senate changed the phase out ceiling to 80k, the lower ceiling is still 75k.
Biden never said anything about $2k checks... that was Trump in a last ditch effort to get some support.
As for lowering the limit.... goddammit. The next people that need to be replaced are the moderate Democrats (AKA Republican Lite) that pushed for this for no good fucking reason. Like, sure a single person making 100k in Iowa very likely does not need a $1400 check. But the same person making $100k in San Francisco? LA? NYC? They very well might need this check. This move is completely forgetting about those of us living in high COL areas.
The moderate Dems wanna not step on too many toes like always, when this is not the fucking time to be nice. Keep doing this shit and we'll lose Congress next election. The cycle continues. Maybe they wouldn't feel so pressured to tip toe so softly if the Senate split weren't balancing on a razor's edge? I don't know.
I'm also concerned about the House bungling the minimum wage part of that bill. They've made a lot of people angry. Still waiting on nuking the filibuster -- that would fix and erase a lot of this hemming and hawing.
