Why Joe Biden Is Preparing $1,400 Stimulus Checks Despite Promising $2,000

Charlie Spiering 14 Jan 2021

President-elect Joe Biden plans to announce a $1,400 personal stimulus check for individuals on Thursday despite voters expecting a $2,000 check as promised.

Reuters reports Biden will announce a massive $1.5 trillion spending program which will include $1,400 stimulus checks.

That might surprise Americans who expected a $2,000 check promised by Biden and Democrats on the campaign trail for the Senate runoff election in Georgia.

Defenders of the president-elect argue his $2,000 promise included the $600 checks, making the new checks $1,400.

But Biden joined Congressional Democrat leaders in late December and early January repeatedly calling for $2,000 stimulus checks even after the $600 checks were sent out.

Come on man, Joebama is adding to the $600 that President Donald J. Trump just gave us. Didn't you get that memo?

He's not a lying dog-faced pony soldier!

That was always the deal - Tumpy set the number.

There was $600 allowed in the original bill and he said it was not enough and that it should be $2000... Thus $1400 'added to' the original $600 that passed in the original omnibus.

But then, whats another trillion or two between friends.  :whistle:

Yes, Trump set the number but the DEMS rejected it and then Nancy called for the same amount later.

You are correct .... it doesn't make a dang bit of difference anymore...our Republic died...things will start tumbling quickly when the printing press stops abruptly.

Wingnut mused:
"The gimmedat's are not going to be happy with Joebama."

Not to worry.
By June, he'll be back with another "stimulus", perhaps this time around offering $3,000-4,000 for "the people"...
(who might be better referred to as "the new proletariat")
