    That’s weird, because the COVID checks were insanely popular and just giving everyone a $2000 check with his name on it would be great politics. I guess it’s good they’re doing it differently.

      Well you have to factor 2 things, there still was a battle with congress to get those checks out during covid. (I remember Bernie walking into congress with the massive printout of trumps tweet saying he was going to send out checks), and of course factoring in that trump knew he wanted to get elected again. It’s 3 years away from the next presidential election… and him getting a 3rd term probably doesn’t involve an election.

      that was pretty much hamstrung by lich mcconnel, who laughed at the idea of giving poors anything, hes worst than trump by the way, until THE LICH WAS PRESSURE to vote on it.
