UPDATE:
Democrats are going to approve $1,400 checks.

But they’re torn on who gets them.
The conservaDem push from Manchin: Phaseout starts at incomes $50K/person, cuts off at $75K.
But Chairmen Wyden & Sanders want to keep the $75K-$100K phaseout like last time.
This is a live ball.

This is still up in the air. Keep the child credit. It would be a political mistake though for Democrats to tinker with eligibility. All it will accomplish is pissing off people who are excluded.
I’m on board with this.
President Biden is giving us our money.
“President Biden promised to get more relief to Americans quickly to help people survive financially until the pandemic is under control. A key part of Biden’s proposal is to send another round of cash payments directly to U.S. households.
Some economists, Republicans and moderate Democrats have argued that this third round of “economic impact payments” — more commonly referred to as “stimulus checks” or “relief payments” — should go only to the hardest-hit families. Some say the payments are a waste of taxpayer dollars. …
The latest proposal Democrats are considering would send $1,400 payments to individuals earning $50,000 or less and $2,800 to married couples earning $100,000 or less. Below are more details on the latest plan, which has not been publicly released yet and could still change. …
This is less than Biden’s initial proposal for the payments to go to individuals earning up to $75,000 and married couples earning up to $150,000, which would result in about 85 percent getting full payments. …
Under the Democratic plan that is taking shape, parents of children would receive an additional $1,400 per child. That means a family of four would receive $5,600. …
Democrats are separately pushing a child tax benefit that would provide over the course of a year $3,600 per children under 6 and $3,000 per child aged 6 to 17. A version of that plan is expected in the final agreement. …”
Mitt Romney supports a Mormon amendment.
CAP:
“Washington, D.C. — Yesterday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) announced the Family Security Act, which would provide a monthly benefit of $350 a month for young children and $250 a month for school-aged children. Crucially, the Family Security Act is not dependent on earnings, meaning that unlike the existing Child Tax Credit families with little or no federal income tax liability, who are often experiencing the worst poverty, would benefit. In a 2015 report, the Center for American Progress proposed making the child tax credit fully refundable, paid monthly, and inclusive of a young child component. …”
Most of us.
In the latest COVID relief plan, the eligibility is being DROPPED from $75,000 per single individual down to $50,000 and from married couples making $150,000 down to $100,000, HOWEVER, married couples will receive an additional $1,400 check per child and will receive $3,600 to $3,000 per child through the child tax credit benefit over the course of a year. 71% of the country should be eligible for the full benefit. The plan is geared toward supporting lower and middle income parents.
Note: I kind of agree with Joe that feminism, abortion, homosexuality, MGTOW and other anti-natal degenerate pathologies in coastal Blue States should be discouraged by the tax code.
They’ve figured out how much is just enough to keep the masses content, and working, producing and buying things, on credit.
Hmm, now that boomers are past child bearing age and
there are few Whites of child producing age,
there’s now going to be incentives to have children.
Almost like it was planned.
White erasure at work.
There are millions of White’s who are of child producing age, but, they can’t afford to have kids, and, are too sensible to take the chance, unlike the Catholic/Hispanic and Black population.
‘There are millions of White’s who are of child producing age’
Yes, but there are MORE non-Whites. Also, they will reproduce with less security and resources.
@Arrian – Spot-on. My thougts exactly.
How to get non-Whites to breed faster.
I am going to buy Nazi paraphernalia, high-capacity magazines and assault rifles with my Biden Bux.
sounds like a plan…
Sounds like a Fedpost..
Only if you’re retarded
I still think this is going to have some bad and unforeseen consequences.
Use to be, 1950s, a dollar in deficit spending increased 5$ in gnp.
It kept going down, till 80s when it was one to one.
Now, each dollar in deficit will produce a negative gnp return.
Down the road, I think we will pay more than we get, in lost purchasing power.
While Biden pays you off in peanuts, he is importing hundreds of thousands of nonwhites. I guess that’s a good trade off.
Donald Trump didn’t change our immigration laws.
Ultimately, Donald was just another Republican fraud who did a few good things, had a loud mouth and managed to antagonize his opponents like no other Republican since President Nixon. He did put issues like immigration front and center for a short time though. Good riddance to him and his Platinum Plan of reparations.
This country can only be fixed after disaster lays the country low, if then, not before. Dementia Joe and the beautiful President Kuntmala Harris together with the useless Republicans and crazy Democrats might just be the trifecta needed to bring about such a disaster.
That’s not the point. All you care about is being paid off while these subversive destroy your race even more. I guess that winning. Import millions more but give me my handout.
I’m not following you.
Donald Trump didn’t put a dent in our immigration laws. Legal and illegal immigrants continued flowing in throughout his entire presidency. All he did was issue some executive orders which were always temporary while bringing in more guest workers by raising the existing caps.
As for being “paid off,” we got two stimulus checks from Trump and the $2,000 was his idea. He is just no longer the president. There is more continuity between Trump and Biden than discontinuity.
Brad, I’m not talking about immigration policies. I know Trump is just as bad a Biden.
Biden is going to allow many more “refugees” in. C’mon man!
Everything done through executive order can be reversed the same way. The Trump presidency was never going to last forever and short of legislation the refugee cap was always a floating target. Trump cut refugees, but allowed the same people to come in through more work visas and other programs
Or build The Wall.
This is amazing plan, actually!
It’s a trying time for young White couples with multiple children. They need as much help and money as they can get.
I also hope Mitt Romney’s plan of monthly child benefits is seriously considered. Many European countries already do this.
With the cultural factors at work, the child benefits in Europe don’t provide much help to motivate the more indigenous white people to have kids beyond 1 or 2, if they have any at all
But the benefit structure works very well to support and encourage larger Muslim families
It’s more of a question if you have the family culture to begin with, or if the cultural-marxist wrecking ball has already hit
“President Biden Lays Out His American Rescue Plan”
Oh god.
It is really the Prop up and further stimulate big business plan. The consumers (credit debtors) /workers (exploitees) need to survive and be contented enough to keep buying and working so the elites’ wealth portfolio keeps growing.
Yeah, his rescue plan to rescue America from the Democratic Party.
Joe Biden “won” exactly the way I expected him to win.
Re: “rescue” plan:
The U.S. is not concerned with rescuing common people. It is focused totally, completely, on protecting and supporting the super-wealthy elites. Calvin Coolidge said: “The business of America is business.” Big business. The dollar bill says we trust in God, but we trust in the Almighty Dollar with which all things are possible.
Wishful thinking: “Is the U.S. losing its soft power?” I doubt it, because as long as its wealth keeps increasing, and all kinds of power can only increase. https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2021/02/04/the-west-is-losing-its-soft-power/
The Kamala-and-Joe Plan for Recovery from the pandemic does NOT include allowing the Russian Sputnik vaccine, the world’s best coronavirus vaccine, better than British, Chinese and U.S. vaccines, a triumph of Russian science that is extremely cheap to manufacture and very safe, and protects against the new mutants better than the U.S.’s highly-specific and extremely expensive mRNA vaccines.
U.S. citizens won’t be getting any of it. The U.S. puppet European Union is trying to keep it out too. “Chancellor Merkel said Tuesday the Russian shot could be used to protect people in the EU as long as it was approved by the European Medicines Agency. France’s industry minister said she’s ‘agnostic’ when it comes to approving the Russian vaccine. Agnes Pannier-Runacher said during an interview on France Info TV on Sunday….”

The pandemic rescue plan of the neoliberal Macron administration in France is similar, and it is being gotten away with there too, because the population of France is about as disinformed and divided as the U.S. population:
“Martin said almost half of France was angry with Macron’s government and the situation, but added that this polarisation of society had not translated into a common front against the president because people were angry about different and sometimes contradictory things. Many do not want vaccines at all, while others complain France is vaccinating too slowly. Just over 2% have been vaccinated so far, compared with 5% in Denmark and 15% in the UK. Some reject lockdowns and masks as infringements on their liberty, while others want the government to be stricter; and some believe the whole pandemic is a plot”:

Macron could lose the upcoming election, just like Trump did, because of the very poor pandemic response, or non-response (“herd immunity”). The succeeding Marine Le Pen administration will simply continue the same neoliberal (capitalist) austerity, with a slighty different style.
