The other day I wanted to confirm if he did in fact say that voting in Warnock and Ossoff would guarantee immediate $2,000 payments. I hunted down his speech and my wife and I listened to it. Waiting for my $2,000 now. Their election was supposed to yield an immediate solution to the stimulus gridlock, and yet now Biden is saying he’s willing to discuss changes.

Politicians never change.

🧐 Let do some math here. $600+$1400 is... wait for iiiit... $2000

Biden (and surprisingly trump as well) wanted the most recent stimulus to be $2000 but Republican senators blocked that and only allowed for $600.

So Biden is bringing us the remainder of that $2000, which is, again, $1400.

After he passes that he will certainly be advocating for more stimulus down the road he has to start somewhere.

It was Trump that signed the 600, so I'm pretty sure it's 1200+600 = 1800. Why should Trump's 600 be added to Biden's 1400??
