Leftist Frustration Mounts over Biden Pitch for $1,400 Checks: People Deserve ‘$2,000 Recurring Monthly Survival Checks’
Breitbart ^ | Januari 16 2021 | HANNAH BLEAU

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.

Interesting to see the ruling class using the Cloward-Piven strategy on themselves. If they think this is a positive step toward their socialist ideal they have a very rude awakening ahead.

“Never let a good crisis go to waste.”

Chance for the libs to supply their voters with a perpetual “income” courtesy of the taxpayer.

No one should hold their breath.

Biden will NOT choose to be fair to all Americans. He’ll make a point of ‘targeting’ the money - which means only democrats will benefit - - ‘elites’ and their pets.

Biden and thugs hate most Americans - they ‘give’ to themselves, those who ‘kickback’ and those who voted for them... Maybe a few accidental crumbs for the half of Americans who did NOT vote for Biden - even that’s doubtful.

Up the ante and force the Dems to live up to their own rules. They will want all the credit for the short-term optimism generated. Push until their system implodes from an overload.

Mrs. RWA and I got a letter today that we had $1200 deposit in our bank account. Will probably show in the account tomorrow.

I didn't know they are going out already.

Honestly. I hate to say this but I think it’s gonna be twice as bad. He will sign deals with china to pocket money for his own family and to make up for the money lost by china during the Trump years with the tariffs he put on. What kills me is even dem people have to see this. Has alone has went up in Florida a dollar a gallon since he came in. And I know that’s a different subject but one that’s right in line with his deals. They don’t care because they have there people in place. They will actually go broke with denial.
