The Democrats have effectively rejected the Republican plan for $1,000 checks, so you will be getting $1,400 as soon as it passes the House and Senate. $1,400 plus the $600 you already received equals the $2,000 that was promised.
1400 does not equal 2000 dollars! They're not the same! They've been promising 2000 long after that 600 dollar check was approved. Why are people trying to fight for less money?!

$2,000 was the proposed alternative to $600, but we got $600. $2,000 minus $600 is $1,400.

Try again.

There are videos of Democrats saying we'll get 2k, well after the 600 dollar checks were approved. Then once they get into office, WELL ACKUALLY it's 1400 instead. Is it going to become 200 dollars next, since we already got 1200 dollars earlier this year?

Why are you fighting for less money? They're on video saying we'll have 2 grand out the door for us, if they win Georgia. They made the promise of 2 grand, and they should be held accountable. If they didn't want to give us a 2 grand check, they shouldn't have promised it over and over just to win.

My god you're such a Democrat boot licker.

the entire point is that it's 2k total
do you not understand how math works
I wish it was 2k extra but it is not and they never said it would be

I would like to say that there was some level of sliminess in how the 2000$ stimulus was purposed. They did leave out the details as to how it was going to be done vs the actual method of how it's being done. It's rather upsetting that the promise came off more as "You are getting 2000$" vs "You are actually getting 1,400$ to make 2000$." Even though both statements are correct, one is very clearly leaving out details compared to the other. It would have been better if they had either been honest in their wording or own up to have omitted details and then actually sent the 2000$ checks instead of the 1,400$.

Yeah I'm wrong, shut up. Bored of you're self righteous bs constantly attacking me, there's no right or wrong way to vote.

I missed where you bought the right to self righteous bs. You swapped your cow and it turns out the beans weren't magic. I guess that depends on whether you like beans or not.

All I can find online is quite honest.

Trump once again called for its $600 stimulus checks to be boosted to $2,000 per person. On December 28, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass a bill to increase the $600 stimulus checks to $2,000, with the bill receiving the needed two-thirds majority of the members voting to pass in the chamber.

Where did you read anything that didn't make it clear?

There are literally videos of Democrats saying that we would get 2000$ checks in the mail. Like, it's literally what they were saying was going to happen. In these videos, they didn't say, "You are getting a 1,400$ check to make 2,000$," they literally said, "You will being 2000$." Now if they meant we would be getting an equivalent of 2000$, they should have said that. I am not misquoting them or anything, it's literally what they said. They should be held accountable for these comments.

I am looking forward to the impeachment sham starting Feb 7th. Get your popcorn ready... I am expecting an M. Night Shyamalan of a twist at the end of this.

In 44 days we will all be saying, "Never again!"

Indeed! I agree. I sure do love our checks being treated like an Apple TOS agreement, where we have to read the fine print. They promised us 2 grand, well after the 600 dollars was already passed.

So, has it been next week yet, or does time pass differently to millionaires?

do you not understand how math works
I wish it was 2k extra but it is not and they never said it would be
i no how maff works, i no 2+2 = 4!

As I've said numerous times, the promise was "$2,000 instead of $600." If we got $600, which we did, then there's $1,400 remaining.

I personally think it should be $2,000 every month until the economy improves significantly, but that has nothing to do with the promise that is, in fact, on its way to being kept.

If you didn't vote for the Democrats, then I'm also confused as to how you can feel betrayed. You presumably didn't vote for them. It sounds like you're exhibiting politically motivated fake outrage. What a Republican boot-licker.

Try again.
 
The population in the US is around 330 mil. Biden plan is for 1.9 tril or something like that, right? Effectively meaning this stimulus would take out a 5.75 bil loan in each and every American's name. And people would actually be happy to get $1,600??? That is just stupid.

Bottom line is for each time they pass one of these stimulus programs, the value of the American dollar decreases. Ask yourself where is the money really going. Why not just give every American a million dollars, and only borrow 330 mil?

My suggestion... turn of the TV, and start thinking for yourselves. It is what our forefathers would have wanted.
 
Just check my account and it seems to be missing 2k certain person promise

The $1,400 you were promised in addition to the $600 you already received is being worked on despite the Republican obstructionism and their attempt to lower that amount.

That being said, your fake outrage has gotten old. Unless you voted for Biden and the Democrats, you have no standing to even try to get mad. The transactional agreement was "vote for us so everyone gets $2,000," but if you didn't vote for them, you have no business being mad. In fact, when you do get your $1,400 check, you can mail it to me since you likely voted against the people who will make it happen. Let me know when you get it, and I'll send you my address over PM.

Darn it! I only wanted 3 million! :(

F.Y.I. I do not believe the main steam media narrative. I have a couple more 'sayings' for you all.

They say believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words... well this must be worth a million.



Again, in about 44 days things will make a lot more sense.
