House backs increasing coronavirus stimulus checks to $2,000

[noonereal]

So what I'm hearing is that the GOP does not want to help Americans.
Did I get that right?

Yes, you heard correct, Aunt Antifa has verified, the GOP does not want to help Americans .

 

[trixare4kids]

Right. Cause the GOP doesn’t want it. We got that part. And?

I'm simply saying there will be NO additional stimulus passed by the senate this round...

Btw, a survey of registered voters disagree.

In a result unusual in an era of acute political polarization, support for the $2,000 stimulus checks was fairly evenly balanced between the two parties, with 53% of Republicans favoring that amount, compared to 47% of Democrats.

House passes the Trump quested $2000 stimulus, and quite a number of repubs joined in.

Now, let's see what they do in the Senate.

House backs increasing coronavirus stimulus checks to $2,000

The bill faces an uphill battle in the GOP-run Senate despite Trump's support.

The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed a bill Monday evening to increase direct coronavirus relief payments to some people to $2,000, though the measure faces an uphill battle in the Republican-run Senate, despite support from President Donald Trump.

So don't expect it to get the votes in the Senate.

It is DOA in the Senate, thanks to Mitch.....

Such a good ad he is giving the Dems in Ga. Trump and Mitch might be the best thing that ever happened to the Dems in Ga.

 

[Sietske22]

Pretty much all Democrats votes for the $2,000 check.

Only 44 Republicans voted for it.

Hmmm......

From your keyboard to Lakshmi's eyes.

I pray the Senate passes this. There's no reason not to pass it. It will make Americans very happy.

It doesn't say... did they pull any of the crap out of the original bill, or just add additional spending?

The increase in payments was stand alone, the rest of the bill has passed and is being implemented as we speak.

So do we get one check for $600 and one for $2,000???

It says one for $600 and one for $1400 (assuming it passes).

A survey of voters disagrees with what? That article is written as though the 2K was Trump’s initiative. He just brought it up this weekend and dropped it just as quickly.

$600 each unless the Republicans find their souls, which I believe most sold a ways back.

They disagree with the senate GOP and agree that 2 grand should be the stimulus but you'd already know that if you actually took the time to read what I shared.
I think Trump still wants the two grand, but he won't be changing minds at this point.

 

[Chomsky]

The $2,000 stimulus checks will never be passed tomorrow. Most of the senate held Republicans had already opposed even a $1,200 check because the Democrats refused to remove the pork.

But, this might cause political stress for the GA GOP run-off senators. I have no idea how popular stimulus checks are with Georgians. But if they are, the Dems are going to hammer them.

Can't argue with any of the above. And if the Rasmussen survey is correct-from my link above, polled voters on both sides of the aisle seem to agree that the 2 grand stimulus should be issued to those who qualify.

 

[Kushinator]

And it's that easy to divide a political party! Just make it about money and the hypocrisy of 4 years of deficit growth shine on through.

Well. few of us refuse an offer for 'free' money! But, I've known a few (working-class!) conservatives who resolutely refuse to acquiesce on hand-outs like this, due to principle (fiscal conservatism).

Can't say if there's a great many like that left, and no idea if there's many down south in GA. But I grew up with them, and all I can say is, 'God bless 'em!'

just 2000

This sounds good, unless Pelosi has loaded this one up with pork and LW wish list idiocies.

 

[Kushinator]

just 2000

But the people who qualify for unemployment extension/enhancement get one less week.

Please list them for us.

You understand the meaning of “unless”?

I did, and I was right, it’s a right wing shithole website.

We won't qualify but hell yeah, I wouldn't give it back if we were qualified and should find its way into our mailbox.
I could help my family with that money.
