Sound Familiar?

It also only gives people $1400 when they promised us $2000, and no increase of the minimum wage to $15 an hour, and a lot of other things they promised aren't in it as well. Can't expect the politicians to do much for us when almost all of them are bought and paid for by the rich.

Can't disagree with a word you said there.

i was always under the impression the 2000 was 1400 +600 that we got in December. Shrug

That's because the politicians and their pundits got you to think that. Not trying to be a jerk with that statement, just what they did - how good at manipulation they are.

The small drips will start up. I'm sure this is the first of more than a few articles and experts that will start saying "2024".

That's my prediction.

Edit: Crap I was behind in my predictions, they've been sprinkling the idea into the subconsciousness of the populous for months now.

I could post more but you get the idea.

This is the long con - hope people start waking up to it.

NO, they promised $1400 on top of the $600. $15 an hour min. wage has nothing to do with Covid.

I had 3 months left on my child support and they tapped me. I completely expected this though with a Kamal Harris administration. The problem is, they will still take child support next month because that's how government works.

Biden promised us $2000 checks, not $1400 on top of the $600 we already got. Biden lied. Not surprising to me, he's broken every campaign promise he made so far except the one where told his rich donors "nothing will fundamentally change" if he won.

I understand that's what Biden said, but it was pretty clear that he meant $1400 on top of the $600. You have to understand that this is the same guy who said there's been 300 million gun deaths in the US. Biden has always just said shit without thinking first, it's who he is, thus the handy dandy little notebook.

Don't get me wrong, I, in no way, support this administration. Kamalas politics have always been about tearing apart the traditional family unit. It creates voters dependent on a system that promises to take away the handouts if they vote differently.

He doesn't just say "shit without thinking". He says whatever he has to to make you think something.

He doesn't just say "shit without thinking". He says things wrongly, all the time, because he is cognitively impaired and it's sad to see him be used.

The next 4 years are going to suck for those that think he is looking out for them. The reason the Dems are doing what they're doing legislatively - look at what they're trying to do in the first 6 weeks - Voting changes - removing states rights to govern elections, gun restrictions, conflict escalation in the middle east, attempts to remove the nuclear authorizations from the Presidency, etc.

They're shoving all this through because they know in 2 years once people figure out what they're doing, when that information and it's consequences begins to take root among the general populous - they're in big trouble during the election cycle. So they try to change all the laws now, to ensure they have an easier time to retain power later.

They just put really pretty names on bills, and because people only read headlines or believe the first thing they see - that's all they need.

Couldn't agree with you more.

God I hate politicians.

It's one thing for politicians to grift for personal gain (little cash on the side, etc.) - it's a completely different thing for politicians to subordinate the populous in order to retain power and continue that grift.

That statement probably requires more expounding on, but hopefully it's understandable.

1.9 trillion dollars... I'm sure it'll be more than $1400 per person.

It can't be called "Covid Relief" if it has nothing to do with Covid relief.
