Leftist Frustration Mounts over Biden Pitch for $1,400 Checks: People Deserve ‘$2,000 Recurring Monthly Survival Checks’

Far-left members of the “Squad” are publicly shaming one aspect of President-elect Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion spending plan, which would provide Americans with $1,400 stimulus checks, calling for Congress to provide Americans with $2,000 checks and possibly have them “recurring.”

Biden on Thursday unveiled his $1.9 trillion spending plan, which is aimed to assist Americans, small businesses, and local governments in the age of the Chinese coronavirus. The last relief measure, which President Trump signed last month, provided Americans with $600 checks despite the president urging Congress to increase the amount to $2,000.

In the days following, Democrat lawmakers vowed to provide Americans with $2,000 checks, but Biden’s plan falls short in that area, providing what would be around “$320 billion in direct payments of $1,400 for most Americans,” as Breitbart News estimated.

Do it! Run the whole darn thing into the ground.

That’s about where I’m at. Hitting bottom is inevitable at this point.

One thing about progressives is that they seem to always get their insane policies passed into law. Once they start a far out there talking point, it’s only a matter of time before it’s law. The right doesn’t do that too well, they just roll over, or do a half ass job of it.

Buy all the guns you want. You need something to throw since ammo isn’t’ widely available.

“ how is closing your business and/ or destroying your job for the purpose of public health not a taking under the fifth amendment, and just compensation not owed?”

That’s a damned good question. Too bad no one has standing to sue.

Once they get you hooked on recurring $2000 checks they threaten to take them away unless you give up your guns.

Hell yes, do it but make it $15,000 monthly recurring checks. Let’s see how fast we can sink this ship.

What “We The People” deserve is an end to this Scamdemic and for them to go back to work.

Well Trump did say it should be $2,000. Why would the left argue about that?
