    Synopsis

    Political procedure so dumb I swear

    It’s also to keep republicans from blocking it with a filibuster so it was kind of necessary

    $600 + $1400 = $2000

    Some people should invest their stimulus checks into some math courses

    It’s always been $1400 checks with the $600 we got to equal $2000

    It’s just people not paying attention and wanting to be mad about something

    What happens if some people don't qualify for this $1400 like some reports are saying on twitter?

    Too many mixed signals

    What do u think ? @lil_YZY_vert

    People clamouring for 2k lol
    Demand more
    Demand monthly payments
    Demand the payments that should have been made in previous months

    this stimulus has been so confusing lol

    I think they voted.... to vote on budget resolution... so they could vote to add the stimulus check

    i read whatever online about voting to have a vote and lose my mind

    Theory

    Got a paywall so I can’t read the whole thing, but I’ll agree that Biden didn’t clarify the down payment thing when campaigning. And I think it’s good to hold him accountable so at the end of the day, not mad at it. Maybe the backlash will even make them increase it (not likely though).

    I just remember them saying it would be a down payment from the start, so when I heard them saying $2000 checks I knew what they were talking about.

    The messaging is deceptive though, I can agree on that.

    What’s the update on when they plan on passing a bill?

    Pelosi stated that the aim is to have the bill on Biden's desk by March 14, when the recent coronavirus aid and unemployment assistance expires. So that means checks out by the end of March...if things go according to plan.

    I believe eligible adult dependents are getting money on this round of checks though...if your parents don't pocket that s***, lol. Don't know the specific details but I remember reading an article saying parents with "college-age students" would receive more money.

    $1,400 for adult dependents, don't know if it goes to parents account or adult dependents account

    Would make sense to go to adult dependents if they filed a return

    I know they’re getting 1400 but if this was really a 2000 check they should also be getting 2000 as well but they’re not

    Are you sure? The only actual bill I've seen is the one that replaces $600 with $2k in the prior bill. Is the actual bill theyre going to pass written yet?
