White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Sunday morning that President Joe Biden is still open to reducing the number of Americans who receive another round of stimulus checks in order to better target low-income workers and to help Biden's $1.9 trillion proposal garner the support it needs from lawmakers ahead of a crucial mid-March deadline for the bill to pass....
Sen. Chris Coons told CNN on Sunday that Democrats will move ahead with a stimulus bill that"probably will get no Republican votes in the Senate," alluding to the likelihood that any proposal will need support from all 50 Democrats in order to pass with a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Kamala Harris.
Sen. Joe Manchin , who has called Biden's current proposal too big, has been among Democrats saying that checksqualifying income level as the last round of stimulus checks, and should instead be more narrowly targeted to Americans who have lost income during the pandemic. Though no new thresholds have been established for targeted stimulus checks, Manchin was among lawmakers who introduced a provision for targeted relief thatIndividuals earning less than $75,000 annually, and couples making less than $150,000, received the full direct payments in the latest rounds of relief; income caps for any payment at all were $100,000 for individuals and $200,000 for couples.
We act like not all Americans were effected by Covid .. ppl who make more than 50-75 a year need some kind of check. Maybe not all of it but damn, the virus hit all of us lol
It’s not fair to people in higher cost of living cities. They make more but pay a lot more. Meanwhile people in areas that didn’t even shut down will get a check.
but if the 1400 is an extension of the 600 under trump to form a total of 2k, how can different restrictions be put on it? can an msnbc viewer help me with the mental gymnastics required to square this circle?
No way, it's my tax rebate for an incompetent and wasteful government
No. He can't be open to it. This had am overwhelming support of Americans and that support will drastically drop.
