I dont think its 0. There is some fall off between 150K and 199K
But they could be making -0- right now ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Best friend and his wife both engineers
She just lost her 80k a year job
They could use 4K right about now

Same here, my wife is not working and I was out of work for 6 months this year but… we had a good 2019, so fuck us, I guess
uhh I will not get a check and am overwhelmingly in favor of people like me not getting a check.

According to WSJ, zero money at $174,000 for a family. Based on 2019, which I really hope is just a typo.
As Riverman pointed out, the problem is it’s based off 2019 numbers. The pandemic started in 2020. Just give the money to everyone and if you made $150K or more in 2020, tax them in 2021.

I can’t believe the timeline of Donald Trump being responsible for Mitch having to approve $2k checks.

Not caving last summer seems like it is going to work out pretty well for the Dems even if by accident. Lol caving enthusiasts.

I got to be honest, this is great but honestly Dems winning in the long term would be WAY better than an extra $1400, even with them being awful fucking shitlibs.
Although we could get nothing here and still lose which would be the worst outcome.
He’s a near-lock to choose B, right?

Checks 2.0 is the exact same criteria as 1.0 right?
yeah they’re wrong and we need to work hard on educating them as to why means testing is dumb.

do they actually have the votes? can’t random GOP senator fillibuster? There’s no way this bill falls under reconcilliation rules.
The Dems could bring the House bill to the floor themselves and cut Mitch’s legs out from under him.
2k is still probably a dog to pass but if it does its a combination of GA runoffs + Trump getting revenge on GOP, I give Dems like 5% of the credit. If Biden had taken over the country on Nov 4th he enthusiastically signs the $600 and proclaims it as a victory for the American people, we wouldn’t even be talking about 2k right now

Twitter consensus is Mitch will attach loathsome crap like liability shield / more tax giveaways to billionaires, pass it and blame Democrats.
