Panic Sellers....

My mistake...I thought that there were two individual bills passed on the same day. I agree with regard to unrelated riders.

Looks like Trump is actually gonna fight for 2k checks.

Good on him. The far left and Trump want the same thing. Fuck McConnel

100-200 billion for the plebs/normal americans and 500+ billion for the rich.

viva la Amurica

Guessing senate will meet around the middle at ~$1200, or just reject and stick with $600.

It's not a fight. He wants to give away money, the majority in both parties want to give away money. All incoming officials need a win and $2k will provide it.

It doesn't matter if he "refuses to sign the bill". It passed with a veto-proof majority. Appropriations+relief, it's a done deal. The $2K is just a mutual fapfest where everyone of both parties can look good and cooperative in an attempt to prevent riots.

They should take the whole stimulus and give it to the 1% so it trickles down.

It's things like this that endeared Trump.

Hundreds of millions of gifts in foreign aid as well as other pork while the pleb gets 600 dollars. No wonder the swamp wanted him out at all costs. Hard to see Biden voicing such qualms considering he's been part of this type of horse-trading for decades.

So Trump being a swamp demon his entire administration then making a last hail Mary is endearing to you.

I genuinely wonder what life is like when you're this gullible.

In this case, we'll have to agree to disagree. Trump's "refusal to sign" the bill is meaningless. It passed with a veto-proof majority. It's done.

Meaning all the extra for a $2000 stimulus (or any compromised amount on top of the guaranteed $600 in the bill) will be added to the budget. So if even 100 million payments of $2000 are sent out, that'll add up to an extra $200 billion added to the top of what's already in the relief/appropriations package that was passed.

We're talking about spending more, not switching who it's going to.
