Again, Where Are The Checks?

You also know that the president has no control over how fast Congress works. However, you keep asking about a check for that relative of yours even though the "reconciliation" process has not completed and a bill has not been passed. Originally Posted by adav8s28

Again, more poor reading comprehension!

Your perspective is founded upon your frail uppity Eastern Prep school mentality .... which is quite superficial.

The only "person" who will really benefit from the $1,400 pop is WALMART! But anyone who hoards "weapons of war" should know that!

Keep crunching those numbers!

BTW, I never presume I can speak for Gnad, but my take on THE QUESTION is ..... Bitten promised $2,000. It's too bad he forgets so quickly what he promised and it's also too bad HIS PARTY doesn't give a fuck what he promises .... And YOU VOTED "FOR" THE GUY! But if you actually voted for THE FIRST BLACK VP then you also fucked yourself .... Warren has more Indian blood in her than Harris has "BLACK" BLOOD IN HER!

Bask in your Easter Preppy mentality. Originally Posted by LexusLover

You are trying to hold Biden to a different standard than your hero Trump (The self proclaimed UNSTABLE genius).

You can tell that relative of yours he will get the check when congress passes the Biden rescue plan. Originally Posted by adav8s28

Again, more poor reading comprehension issues. Are you related to WTF? But let's parse, like so many on the board. My relative will get his check AFTER Biden signs it. And it's not the Biden Rescue Plan, it's the AMERICAN Rescue Plan. Probably a Freudian slip on your part as its Biden who really needs rescuing. My relative may or may not get the $1400 stimulus. Why? They lowered the "threshold" to get the check.

Again, many Dims are complaining they got more money under Trump than they are getting with Biden. The unemployment benefit amount went down also.

LOL. Let's not be dramatic. I simply said you started multiple threads (more than one) about this topic. I never said you spammed anything.

I don't give a shit enough to RTM anything so folks can do that on their own if they want to do so because it sure the fuck won't be coming from me. I'll never tattle and hit the RTM button like many of these blouses in here. Originally Posted by Lucas McCain

Was Trump weak and feeble in the above example?

A president does not have control over individual Senators. A Senator (for example) of the same party could vote a different way on any given bill. McConnell skinny repeal of Obamacare is good example. Most republican elected officials had a fear of Trump, but not those three.

With the rescue plan several things had to be debated. There are some democrats who thought the bill was too big and that a single person making $100,000 should not get the $1400 check. So, the threshold was lowered to $80,000. This is not much different than the threshold for the $1200 check that went out in summer of 2020. The threshold for that check was $75,000 for a single person.

You say you understand how congress works? You don't post like it. If you did you would not keep asking where the check is.

Again, more poor reading comprehension on your part.

Biden said "immediately."
The House and the Senate decided to do another impeachment.
Biden is a weak President who has no control over his party. His party has control over him.
"Whataboutism" on your part. Trump is still living in your, Nancy's and Chuckie's head.
Yes, I know how Congress works. The Dims held the US hostage. They could have put this in a stand alone bill. But they put it in a reconciliation bill so they could feed their pork projects and enhance their ability to steal elections.
But they didn't and President Biden didn't insist that they do.
So repeating myself because your reading comprehension is so poor Biden said "Checks would go out immediately!"

Biden said "immediately."
The House and the Senate decided to do another impeachment.
Biden is a weak President who has no control over his party. His party has control over him.

You are putting way too much emphasis on immediately.Before Biden can sign the check, a bill has to be passed.

So with this current session of the Senate you have 50 democrats and 50 republicans. To get the bill passed you just need the 50 democrats to vote yes and VP Harris breaks the Tie. A stand alone bill requires more than a simple majority to pass. You knew all of that right?

P.S. The filibuster is more difficult to break in a stand alone bill. So, politically the dems did the right thing to put the rescue plan in a reconciliation bill.

The republicans did the same thing with the repeal of Obamacare, but three republican sensators voted no and that was the end of that.

More poor..... Originally Posted by gnadfly

But this is totally different than with Biden, Chuck and Nancy?

Yeah right.

I didn't say "immediately", Joe Biden did. He used it to get elected and to elect two Dim Senators from Georgia.

You know who knows more than you and I about getting a bill thru Congress? Joe Biden. He was a Senator for over 30 years. Plus he was VP for 8.

People believed that if Biden said he could get it done immediately it could be done immediately. But Nancy and Chuck wanted their impeachment. And pork. And $15 an hour minimum wage. And a bunch of other things that needed put off for the next three or four bills.

Biden could have instructed Nancy to make a bare bones stimulus check and unemployment benefits bill but he didn't. He's a feeble old man entering dementia.
