    as far as this "
    Deese indicated the White House could be open to negotiating on further limiting who would receive stimulus checks. Portman suggested the checks should go to individuals who make no more than $50,000 per year and families capped at $100,000 per year.

    Under the Biden plan, families with incomes up to $300,000 could receive some stimulus money."

    it makes more sense
    an individual making 150k DOES NOT NEED GOV'T assistance

    My wife and I already received two stimulus checks and our income hasn't been affected at all by the pandemic. It's crazy all the money the government is giving away. I'm not sure how else they can do it, though, other than forcing people to apply for it, but that would be a mess. Those who know how to work the system would get a check and those who don't, who probably need it the most, wouldn't.

    Why anyone that makes a thousand a week:--52 grand a year should get a stimulus check is beyond my understanding.

    you do realize it is BIDEN that want to give the checks to families that make $300k per year and the GOP that wants to limit it to $150k
    Biden individuals $50K+ , GOP less than $40K

    150 thousand? 300 thousand? That's fucked up.

    My wife and I make over $110,00.00 a yr and receive these checks. We don't ask for or apply for them, they just come! To tell the truth we don't need them. This is the kind of economics that will drive us into a deep recession.
