Democrats urge Biden to send recurring stimulus checks after $1.9T relief bill

[havoc00]

A group of Senate Democrats is urging President Biden to support recurring stimulus checks for low-income Americans as part of his coronavirus relief response, arguing the cash payments are necessary until the economy fully recovers from the pandemic.

In a Tuesday letter addressed to the president, 10 senators — led by Ron Wyden of Oregon — asked the administration to automatically extend unemployment insurance benefits and send recurring direct checks that would be tied to certain conditions in the U.S. economy.

The expanded financial assistance would be part of Biden's “Build Back Better” plan, a wide-ranging infrastructure and jobs measure that's expected to follow the $1.9 trillion bill currently making its way through Congress.

How about we stop the printers and just open everything back up? Imagine shutting down a global economy because of the flu.

Didn't they just basically pass a semi permeant unemployment package with a $400 bonus on top of he usual amount?

I don't think Biden has that kind of money TBH.

Trump could probably afford it, but not Biden.

Why don't we just put a stamp on the forehead of these people and then they can just go to the grocery store and take what they want.

How anybody could publicly admit to being a democrat or supporting this nonsense is beyond me. Inb4 “but drumph reeeeeee” as if it has any bearing on the topic at hand.

It’s $300 right now. I think $400 is what’s in the bill should it pass the senate. Not sure on the end date but I have my doubts that it’ll even clear the senate.

lol, keep paying people to be unemployed, and say "it's just until unemployment goes down" which won't happen because they are paying as much, if not more for people to NOT work over working lower end jobs, so unemployment will just remain high while people keeping leeching off government handouts.
