Yep this is the main issue here. They literally said 2000 dollar stimulus even tho no legislation ever said citizens were getting a actual $2000 check

Like they deliberately threw people off verbally. Used it as bait for votes too smh

the original bill after the 600 had already went out was never going to be 2000 on top of it yet they kept saying it for support

They were cappin just to get in office

I think the biggest travesty is that they're going to call this 1400 good for the rest of the pandemic even tho Libs were talking that big talk about people needing financial assistance n s*** during the campaign process...

Now they're up to the plate and they're gonna play dumb.

The reality is, we shoulda been gotten 2k and then some, so people are rightfully mad at the fact that this 1400 could be all the assistance we get for the rest of the pandemic, so we may as well get more now rather than later so we don't bother having to go through all this voting and politicking BULLSHIT just got get another what? F***ing 600 dollars passed come spring time?

100% manipulative wording by them. as said prior, i knew as well it was only ever the additional 1400, but whatever they’re shady for it none the less. need it asap though. if they get bullied into any lower of a check they’re cowards who are useless.

this is like saying theyre giving $3200 checks cause of the first stimmys

cnbc.com/2021/02/01/republicans-propose-1000-stimulus-checks-heres-who-would-qualify.html

The people defending and caping for Biden and the Dems for this are pathetic. Like this is actual cuck s***. And I hate to say that in regards to political discussion, but that really is the only acceptable word for this kinda mental gymnastics.

That bit aside though, now with this long ass delay just for those $1400 stimulus checks, it really will be too little too late. You might as well just make it the $2000 they were touting it to be in order to get people to vote for them. Not some "Oh we actually meant an additional $1400 to the $600 issued" back in...what f***ing November?

Sigh

Suddenly it got quiet itt

LMFAO.

LMAOOO first page

“Personally I always understood it as $2,000 total.” LMAOOO

F***ers want less money

Didn't even quote me. Yes, they said a total of $2,000 and it looked like $600 was a long shot at passing. This isn't rocket science. Not defending them on their messaging which made people like you think we were getting $2,000 on top of the $600 (And I also think $2,000 isn't even enough), but I followed it closely and my takeaway was $2,000 total.

It got quiet because spending time discussing this is pointless and tiring, it's been spoken about for weeks

have they said when they're voting on this

Literally nobody is arguing that they want less money

This is a weird way of saying synop haymaker’d the whole opposing user base itt but ok

This is probably the third or fourth occasion since Joe Biden has become President that we're having the same discussion (read title) with the exact same people in the same section, just a different thread

maybe its time for y'all to just accept reality. they flat out lied

@papawheely like what do you want people to reply to this

It's either:

A) You're under the assumption that $1,400 was always in addition to $600
B) You're under the assumption the check would've been a standalone $2,000

We can all spend time sitting here quoting each other about A or B, but regardless the general consensus is that neither is good enough for the American people

gonna be a long presidency, god help us all

No, the issue is you people talking about "they always meant 1400" are being disingenuous. they lied. they said 2000 checks over and over and over, and now they aren't going to follow through because they never intended to follow through, and they have ppl ilke you and others willing to defend their lies.
