Joe Biden just yanked away stimulus checks from 17 million Americans

During the campaign for the two Georgia Senate races, Joe Biden repeatedly promised to pass $2,000 stimulus checks if the Democrats won. After they did, the administration argued that $2,000 really meant $1,400 in addition to the $600 that had already gone out in the December rescue package.

Whether that is true or not, now Biden is inarguably breaking his promise. Under pressure from moderate Senate Democrats, he has reportedly agreed to cut down the formula under which the checks will be sent out. In the previous packages, the amount started phasing out at $75,000 in income for individuals and $150,000 for joint filers, and vanished entirely at $100,000 and $200,000 respectively (as of 2019). Now the phase-out will start start in the same place but end at $80,000 for singles and $160,000 for couples...

but i doubt the amount of the “stimulus bill” will be reduced.

They are basically redirecting funds from the 17 million people to “other stimulus usage” such as theft and pillaging from the American people to fund their cronies

I said before this idiot ever illegally occupied the White house, that anyone who believed they would see even a cent of stimulus money from democrats are only kidding themselves. Democrats NEVER give out money unless they get a cut or a kick back. How do you think a toilet like Pakistan got $33 million for “gender studies”? Because some Rat is probably getting half of that money!

Good. I did not receive a stimulus last time and will not receive one this time. As someone on the bottom of the cut-off, I’ll say anyone making that kind of money doesn’t need any help from the government. And the thought of people like school teachers who have suffered no economic impact from the lockdowns getting Federal covid bonuses is infuriating.

It is all digitally created “money” out of thin air. There should be NO “stimulus” because there should NEVER have been closing of the economies, etc. A way to fight back is to spend “stimulus” since you have no choice in it arriving (it goes direct deposit to me) is to spend it to try to keep as many businesses in business as you can, and/or give some or all your “stimulus” money to freerepublic.com. Use their communism against them.

They'll just claim this was forced on them by Conservatives - the Democrats really didn't want to cut it off like this, but it was the only way to get it passed at all. The media will amplify the lie, and half the country will believe it.

Wow, that will save $24 billion from the $1.9 trillion pork bill (1.25%). Such restraint and responsibility those ‘moderate’ Democrats are showing.

I haven’t seen one cent (make way too much fortunately/unfortunately), but it never made sense to me anyway that couples who didn’t lose their jobs making $100k+ a year were getting thousands and thousands of free money in the first place.

Could not agree more. DC is nothing more than money laundering by the elitists.

Texas pays in $160 billion into the Smokey laundering scheme. That is right, for the past several decades, Texas tax payers have been shorted $160 billion PER year.

All Texans need to sign up in support of #TEXIT, HB1359 and the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM.ME). Time to cut the strings with DC and once again become a free and independent republic again. Creep mail for more info

Texas First, Texan Always

They gotta funnel money to the places that willingly caused Covid spread to vulnerable populations to shut down the country. It’s their reparations.

If these clowns really want to stimulate the economy they’ll cut taxes and get the hell out of the way.

“We have created the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics”

This is the money quote from Joe Biden. It is verbatim what he said and every American patriot should keep posting this in to eternity. It is why we are where we are today! The people that blew this off as a gaff are dumber than a box of rocks! In his demented state he spoke the truth not realizing his words were captured in to the eternal record.
