Stimulus Checks: White House Adviser's Claim Checks Will Be Lower Than $1,200 Rubs Many Wrong Way Online

White House official Larry Kudlow ruffled a few feathers with his comments on Friday that a second stimulus would be far less than the $1,200 many received early in the pandemic. Donald Trump's economic adviser talked to reporters on Friday about the second stimulus that has been rumored for months and awaits a heated Congressional debate once they return from vacation.

Kudlow told reporters that any direct payments sent out to taxpayers and other Americans would be lower than the first stimulus package. There also won't be an unemployment extension for payments put in place at the start of the pandemic. There would be an element included in the bill for unemployment, but it would be separate.

His comments come amid confusion over what to expect from a second stimulus package, especially direct payments to Americans waiting for more relief after delays with the initial payments. Some reports indicated that Trump wanted more cash in the next package, while GOP members of Congress were reluctant to agree.

The current position between the parties and White House sees the income threshold lower to $40,000 from the original level of $75,000 to receive the full amount. How we reach that point isn't clear and the parties have yet to agree, leaving a dramatic two-week period to close July to get the payment out.

No matter where the politicians stand in D.C., Americans and supporters of Trump have voiced their displeasure over Kudlow's comments. It also seems like the final decision will have a greater impact on the election in November than expected.
