Georgia voters enraged after Democrats promise of '$2,000 checks' becomes $1,400
Warnock and Ossoff campaigned on a $2,000 promise
By Michael Ruiz | Fox News

   

Georgia Democrats have reportedly already begun fuming over their two new senators, the Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, who were sworn in Wednesday by Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a new report.

Both men narrowly won hard-fought races against Republican incumbents in the Peach State, winning control of the Senate for the Democrats in the process.

But a major issue raised by critics is that President Biden espoused a coronavirus relief plan that would send $1,400 checks to many Americans – while Warnock and Ossoff campaigned on a $2,000 promise.

"Warnock and Ossoff made it a point to endorse and exclusively say ‘$2,000 checks,’" Georgia Democrat Oscar Zaro told Mediaite. "A lot of the people in my district voted blue in the runoff for two main reasons. One: Loeffler and Perdue denying us relief during COVID while profiting millions themselves; and two, $2,000 checks."

Leading into the Jan. 5 runoff elections were a series of campaign events espousing the $2,000 stimulus check proposal in the days after former President Trump signed a $600-check plan in late December.

Fine, print another $200B.  The fiscal crisis will be frightening and hilarious.  Lord knows these people deserve everything coming to them.

You expect the typical Dim voter to do math?

Seriously?

The Dems here actually ran ads saying they were buying votes for $2000 each.  Vote Democrat and collect $2,000.  That's why they're mad.

That and wit until the dems push a federal minimum living wage, prices will skyrocket because $15 dollars an hour for unskilled illterate jobs just isn't enough and also because it's the best stealth, among the moron faction, tax increase there is.

@GtHawk

That's just on the surface. It will trigger increases in welfare and unemployment,also. Not to mention what it will do to the construction industry,where you might be working 10 miles from home one week,and 30 miles from home the next.

The nations economy is just flat going to die,and there is only so much money the Dims can borrow from China before China calls the bills due and ends up owning every port on the left coast.

Last year Beck did a segment on the situation of the banks in this country.  He reported that banks do NOT have cash available on hand for the deposits that they hold and by law they are supposed to forcing them to borrow money in order to meet their cash deposits.

Also, our treasuries were not being purchased by any country.  None 

That was before the pandemic and the last several trillion that we printed.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Federal Reserve reduced the reserve requirement ratio to zero across all deposit tiers, effective March 26, 2020. This aim of this reduction was to jump-start the economy by allowing banks to use additional liquidity to lend to individuals and businesses.

No point in businesses taking advantage of these loans when the government prohibits them from operating.

Well with the piss poor interest they are paying my mother maybe I should advise her to pull all of her money out of the bank. Just think iff all the people that lost everything in the great depression or their children who remeber it so well decided to pull all their money out of the banks. I know my mother is very worried about what the democrats will do.
