They're basically just making it a hard cap at this point with how quick those phaseouts are. Millions of people are gonna get money under Trump but not money under Biden and it's exactly the Panera people that Dems are trying to make their new base.

I think they realized they have to use a euphemism for means-testing because "people in the fourth quintile of income don't get a second check" sounds too cruel

lol amazing

I got money from Trump but I'll get nothing from Biden

I didn't get much from either stimulus because I've been lucky enough to keep my job the entire time, so I gave my stimulus away. But still, there's no reason for me to vote for a democrat over a republican.

Honestly, this sounds like the compromise that everyone was saying would be okay? The old phase-out was based on $1200 for adults and $600 for dependents and this is a straight $1400 for everyone so that needed to be changed in someway.

Everyone that got a full check the last time is likely to get a full check this time.

Republicans fall in line because republican politicians produce results for their voters so even if you don't like a candidate personally you know they're gonna give you what you want.

They don't think about it that hard, it's just because they were told it's bad by the Democrats running against helping people at all and "rich people will also benefit" is a half assed excuse especially considering the amount of direct money they get from those same politicians.

If tomorrow there was a WAPO story quoting Clinton or whoever that we need to give assistance to people who make over 200,000 with their loans they would not even remember their previous opinions.
