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.

Are they still basing eligibility on 2019 tax returns, or are they adding an option for using 2020 income? That was always the dumbest part. Phase it out for rich people, sure, that's dumb, but whatever. But basing it on pre-pandemic income is inexcusable.

They were already phased out for rich people but with each round of checks the means testing has gotten stricter and you're implicitly accepting their "we can't give money to anyone who doesn't deserve it" framing there.
