Biden says he's open to negotiating income limits for stimulus checks
By Naomi Jagoda - 01/25/21 05:53 PM EST

President Biden said Monday that he's open to negotiating the income limits for a new round of stimulus payments, as he seeks to enact a coronavirus relief package early in his presidency.

"This is all a bit of a moving target in terms of the precision with which this goes," he said.

Biden earlier this month released a $1.9 trillion relief proposal that included direct payments of $1,400 per person. He said he included that item in his proposed package because it has bipartisan support and because he thought its inclusion could increase the odds of his proposal passing.

However, some lawmakers have expressed concerns that the payments might not be targeted enough to those most in need, and could go to some high-income families.

So let's say $500B for Americans, but $1.4T is to be frittered away on foreigners and other crapola...removing "higher income" from the equation is not going to mean more $$ going to those in need, just makes more $$ available to the well-connected and other crap.

And they're worried about income thresholds...smdh.

But of course. Have we known any Democrat that can resist means-testing?

Hell, name a Republican who can?
