I mostly blame it on the poor explanation during the Georgia runoffs. They heavily advertised 2k, not "bringing you up to 2k". Still, if it gets through in the next week I'll call that a ~80% promise kept, which is exceptionally good for political parties.


The debate was always 600 vs 2000. 600 was passed so then the debate became keep the status quo or increase to 2000. The only people peddling the 600 vs. 2600 debate are bad faith actors.

lefties control the education system, take it up with them.

there was no political force at all saying 600+1400 checks. sure we can do the math but no one campaigned on math equations. it was an offer of $2000 checks “on day one” in exchange for control of the senate:

https://www.newsweek.com/biden-calls-2k-stimulus-checks-post-georgia-runoffs-least-one-democrat-opposes-1560266



Current senate has been “in business” for almost a month now

https://www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/2021/01/06/georgia-election-2000-stimulus-checks/


Here is the direct quote: “The thing that’s going to come before the Senate again is whether or not we keep the commitment and provide the money that the House of Representatives has made of $2,000 cash payments to families.” So far, 600 of the 2000 has been delivered. In order to keep the campaign promise, they need an additional 1400. As far as I'm concerned, Biden has done his part by proposing the comprehensive bill and Congress needs to do it's damn job. Perhaps Biden should refrain from using the word "immediate" when referring to anything coming from Congress. There's absolutely nothing that can come from that branch immediately.

I wouldn't say that the left "controls" the education system but I certainly blame a lot of their policies on our failed education system.

This topic is a disgrace. Y'all ancestors worked their ass off to build the country you live in and you guys too cowards to get a normal life and a normal job . Waiting on a stimulus lol. Being content of getting 1400$ every 3 months. Fucking crazy if you ask me. I wouldn't go out for less than that per week and you guys happy to have that every 3 months lol.

the math is obvious yes. and again, no one campaigned on a math equation. it was quite clear where multiple (D) politicians yammering in GA about $2k checks for your vote, including the now-Senate majority leader (D), the two seated (D) GA senators, and Biden as President (D)

if i say “im gonna give you a 6 pack tomorrow in exchange for mowing my lawn today” but you end up getting get 5 beers because i gave you one months ago you’d tell me to fuck off.

either way its another awful stimulus package that i will continue to criticize as i did all last year. and yes Congress is to blame. who has all the institutional power now remind us?

the national change in minimum wage does not account for the dpending power of a dollar being drastically different state to state.

the relative buying power in California of $100 is $87.11 whereas that same $100 in Alabama has a relative value of $115.34.

so in California as of 2021 employers with 26 or more employees have to pay a state minimum wage of $14.00 an hour. increasing the federal minimum wage to $15 / hour will provide them an extra $40 a week or an additional $34 spending power weekly.

in Alabsma the minimum wage is 7.25 an hour. increasing to $15 hourly gives the employees an extra $310 dollars weekly in their paychecks which is about $357 of additional spending power weekly.

What economy will get disrupted first? what small business owners will have to shut thier doors?


More money in the hands of people that spend it means if your business shuts its doors when you have hundreds to thousands of extra customers with money in their pockets you are a shithouse business owner.
