Stimulus Check: Joe Biden Sparks Some Backlash Over $1,400 Payments in Coronavirus Relief Plan

$1,400 ≠ $2,000

Rep. Omar literally wanted to raise the $600 by $1400 to a total of $2000 (not $600 to $2600) a few weeks ago. and thats literally what Biden is doing. y'all reach way too much.

600 Donald Dollars + 1400 Biden Bucks does not equal 2000 Biden Bucks

$600 wasn’t enough.

The American people are struggling to make ends meet and need relief. We must immediately pass $2,000 survival checks. https://t.co/mPlf3IC2Ys

People who are economically comfortable should be calling on Biden to keep his word, not minimizing the difference between $1400 and $2000. You all know what people are going through. You know they believed the words "$2000 checks" meant $2000 checks. Just advocate for that shit.

Leave it Joe Biden to negotiate himself down to $1400 from $2000 before he even gets started

People have been asking about this - good answer from Bernie’s policy director.

I think it’s reasonable to argue that $2000 total ($600 + $1400) isn’t enough, but the legislation that Dems (from Biden to Bernie to AOC) fought for was to boost the $600 checks to $2000. https://t.co/BwgrYHQuke

congrats to Biden, who now understands the feeling of paying $600 down on a $2000 loan but still owing $2000 a month later

Elon Musk made 14.5 billion dollars in a single day.

Billionaires have made $1,000,000,000,000 during a pandemic where millions have lost their jobs.

We are not the greedy ones for expecting Biden to live up to the $2000 checks that he promised.

Joe Biden you get in that chair on the 20th you better act accordingly! I want my $2000

when payroll says they're going to cut you a $2000 check for missed wages, after already cutting you a $600 check for the same thing last month, and then they cut you a $1400 check, do you immediately hop on Twitter and say "well 1400 + 600 is 2000, I see my boss's point"
