Singles under $75K get the full $1,400. But it zeroes out at $80K (not $100K).
Couples under $150K get full amount. But zeroes out at $160K (not $200K). https://t.co/iNMMppOugZ

The Democrats do still have one secret weapon.
The True Cons may have been demographically swamped inside the Republican Party by Trump voters, but we still have all these old people in power because the electorate is so polarized. Congress is a gerontocracy full of people like “Cocaine Mitch” who are forty years behind the times.
Joe is going to use budget reconciliation to do two or three things before the 2022 midterms. The first thing will be the stimulus bill which will deliver $1,400 checks to everyone making under $75,000 a year that phases out at $80,000 a year per individual. As far as I know, it will also include the new child tax credit which will start sending quarterly checks to parents with children. The new child tax credit will send $3,600 per child under age 6 and $3,000 for children up to age 17 for one year. The next budget reconciliation bill will be infrastructure. The Equality Act and stuff like that will pass the House and die in the Senate because there aren’t ten Republican votes for it.
Social conservatives are like … why aren’t we already doing this? Why aren’t we subsidizing the family instead of libertarian business owners? Mitt Romney’s Family Security Act would send out $350 monthly payments for a child 5 years old and under, $250 monthly payments for a child age 6 to 17, cap monthly payments to families at $1,250 and would be eligible to any child with a Social Security number.
Note: Mitch used budget reconciliation to try to pass Ryancare and then the Trump tax cuts which were the two most unpopular policies of the last several decades.
In what way does Bitch McConnell represent the people of Kentucky, many of whom are poor?
Turkey neck like all politicians don’t care about their constituents, they only care about themselves and Israel.
I was looking at the new picture you have posted, the noses are too small and they’re wearing the wrong hats.
In some ways, he is right. There’s an awful lot of people who find an excuse not to work, and to live off of other taxpayers. I’ve seen enough of these people. “Fibromyalgia”, “Chronic Fatigue Syndrome”, and other pseudo illnesses get them a check every month. Even alcoholism and obesity are now disabilities. No one wants to work. The whites of long ago are not the whites of today.
I think all politicians are POS because it’s all about the dem/rep gang but Whites today have become weak, dependent and like niggers when it comes to govt handouts. My parents would never take a govt handout or go on welfare because they had pride. Then again, it was a different time. I sort of understand it but I don’t like the hypocrisy.
Okay! so let niggers, hasids, arabs vacuum up all that cash. Because they do and they will.
I’ll bet cops and firemen are the worst when it comes to filing bullshit disability claims.
@Spahn – you are right about that – they have it down to a science
@ senator mcconnell, is reason enough .Too disengage from the party of lincoln for ever, he scorns his own, but serves his masters well.
