That's correct! SharonAnn Jan 2021 #143

why wouldn't the 2000 include the 600 already given Skittles Jan 2021 #5

Why wouldn't it? It's two different bills. Cetacea Jan 2021 #115

Honestly, it was always my understanding that this Grown2Hate Jan 2021 #6

I always thought it wqs 2k total. n/t moonscape Jan 2021 #7

It didn't change. It was always $2000 total DrToast Jan 2021 #9

It was always a total of $2000 BarackTheVote Jan 2021 #11

I believe the original legislation Democrats passed after the $600 was approved Blue_true Jan 2021 #12

Pay attention it was always $2000 total. we can do it Jan 2021 #14

It's math. $2000, $600 down payment, $1400 paid later. If Biden wins. dem4decades Jan 2021 #15

And if Manchin doesn't fuck it up. Ugh. n/t demmiblue Jan 2021 #19

There's Republicans that need money too dem4decades Jan 2021 #33

Already with attacks on Biden? MineralMan Jan 2021 #16

Yeah, it's taking off on Twitter DrToast Jan 2021 #17

Yup. MineralMan Jan 2021 #26

It's unbelievable melman Jan 2021 #51

I'm glad you posted the question, and... AmyStrange Jan 2021 #67

That's good advice melman Jan 2021 #71

So you start a divisive thread bashing our incoming Democratic President, and you "bow out"? Sweet. George II Jan 2021 #79

um....... George II Jan 2021 #98

Wha? George II Jan 2021 #80

At least wait until after the inauguration, for jebus' sake. MineralMan Jan 2021 #39

You posted a tweet criticizing Biden even before he took office. Not an "attack"? Oh please.... George II Jan 2021 #44

Can you point out the critical tweet please? melman Jan 2021 #47

In the OP. You're welcome. George II Jan 2021 #50

The tweet from Kyle Griffin of MSNBC that contains nothing but a direct quote is critical? melman Jan 2021 #53

Please proceed. MineralMan Jan 2021 #54

So what was your reason to post it here if not to be critical of Biden? Biden proposed.... George II Jan 2021 #68

This message was self-deleted by its author George II Jan 2021 #82

Can you answer that question before you "bow out of this thread" that YOU started? Thanks! George II Jan 2021 #83

But your subject line is YOUR words, not those in the tweet from Kyle Griffin. THAT is an attack. George II Jan 2021 #94

Actually, you are the one being attacked it would appear Cetacea Jan 2021 #121

If it were just intended as a question about whether the proposed checks would be The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2021 #35

That question is too hard. MineralMan Jan 2021 #37

That's a different question and not the one I had. The one I had is the one I posted melman Jan 2021 #43

That's because I didn't care. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2021 #45

... betsuni Jan 2021 #59

You don't care about Republicans using violent rhetoric about "targeting" Democrats? melman Jan 2021 #62

I don't care about arguing or being chased from thread to thread. The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2021 #73

Exactly. Cha Jan 2021 #124

What does that have to do with YOU posting an attack on Biden about his proposal tonight? George II Jan 2021 #84

Yesterday's news and off topic. Why bring that up in THIS thread? Hmmmm? George II Jan 2021 #97

Exactly. Sad that it's starting already, like in a New York minute, or should I say Brooklyn minute? George II Jan 2021 #46

Reminds me of 2008 and 2012, somehow. MineralMan Jan 2021 #56

Indeed. Barely halfway into February 2009 and Obama was already a failed president according to some George II Jan 2021 #60

Oh, it started before his first inauguration. MineralMan Jan 2021 #69

Good memory. I guess I was too euphoric that he won so it didn't register, but.... George II Jan 2021 #72

It started right after election day, and never stopped. MineralMan Jan 2021 #76

Next it might be, he has only been there 6 months, 1 year. Beringia Jan 2021 #74

Before we go to the next time.... sheshe2 Jan 2021 #90

But it's SOOO easy to criticize without actually knowing what the facts are. Even AOC says.... George II Jan 2021 #122

I am so disappointed that it would come this quickly. sheshe2 Jan 2021 #129

Don't confuse them with facts, it only pisses them off. IsItJustMe Jan 2021 #123

Has Biden been inaugurated? Let's not quibble about "timeline", let's be realistic. George II Jan 2021 #114

You could at least wait until he is president, no? IsItJustMe Jan 2021 #119

It is an attack...nothing Biden does will be enough...and history will repeat...we end up Demsrule86 Jan 2021 #70

Yep. sheshe2 Jan 2021 #30

At least they waiting until Obama took office in 2009. We have a twice-impeached president.... George II Jan 2021 #52

I always interpreted it as $2,000 total In It to Win It Jan 2021 #21

Everyone interpreted it that way, except for those who are bitter about Biden winning. George II Jan 2021 #88

So did the OP's heroin: George II Jan 2021 #128

She is smart, we are too. sheshe2 Jan 2021 #130

I always assumed it was $2000 total. It was ambiguous enough to trackfan Jan 2021 #36

$2000-2600 bdtrppr6 Jan 2021 #38

Because it was NEVER $2600! Why are you attacking Biden even before he takes office??? George II Jan 2021 #40

But when Biden is saying $2000 checks, I never heard him say but you have already had a $600 LiberalArkie Jan 2021 #61

Does he need to be that detailed...it was obvious that total would be 2000. Perhaps he Demsrule86 Jan 2021 #75

The people here are a lot smarter than me or really anyone I know around here. LiberalArkie Jan 2021 #93

He clearly meant 2000 in total and we will be lucky to get that. We have a 50-50 Demsrule86 Jan 2021 #111

Most people seem to understand it. BannonsLiver Jan 2021 #78

Babylonsister has a good thread here that spells it all out. sheshe2 Jan 2021 #86

A republican House, really? How about an outspoken DEMOCRAT in the House? Care to comment.... George II Jan 2021 #107

I never got an actual check even though I got 600 deposited into my account . JI7 Jan 2021 #109

It was a Democratic House that passed the 2000 Bill. The REpublican Senate refused to . JI7 Jan 2021 #116

Not this sh!t again. IsItJustMe Jan 2021 #41

Predictably, yes. MineralMan Jan 2021 #58

Should be $2000 per month till we can get everyone vaxxed and economy back to normal. aidbo Jan 2021 #42

I agree but with a 50/50 congress that includes moderate/conservative Democrats...tell me how Demsrule86 Jan 2021 #81

Waiting for "POS Used Car Salesman." It's just a matter of time The Velveteen Ocelot Jan 2021 #65

Good grief. NurseJackie Jan 2021 #64

The new checks would always have been 1400 which with the 600 is 2000. Demsrule86 Jan 2021 #66

I'm not worried about it mvd Jan 2021 #77

Let's work on this together ornotna Jan 2021 #87

You rock. sheshe2 Jan 2021 #95

I knew it reminded me of something. betsuni Jan 2021 #134

The 2000 was always total including the 600 dollar down payment. Extends unemployment until the still_one Jan 2021 #89

I'm sure many of those who are complaining about it not being $2600 (you know who you are), which... George II Jan 2021 #91

Exactly, and I'll admit George, I am one of those who doesn't need it, though I will qualify for it still_one Jan 2021 #96

Same with Unemployment Cetacea Jan 2021 #125

READ YOUR OWN SUBJECT LINE: "Why did it change from $2,000 checks to $2,000 *total*?" George II Jan 2021 #92

Do you think this will be the only one? gldstwmn Jan 2021 #99

I hope we're like other countries and do it.. mvd Jan 2021 #102

Yep! DrToast Jan 2021 #110

Interesting. betsuni Jan 2021 #126

I think the OP is ill-timed, but you are playing bait and switch with AOC's words Celerity Jan 2021 #133

No I'm not. The proposal was for $2000. Period. To now complain that it was $2000 in addition..... George II Jan 2021 #135

the 1400 USD will come from a new bill, so yes you are Celerity Jan 2021 #137

I'm not wrong, and I don't choose to argue about it. Suggestion to those who are bashing Biden.... George II Jan 2021 #139

You are wrong George, as I have clearly shown now on multiple posts. Celerity Jan 2021 #141

Please explain how it's ill-timed melman Jan 2021 #136

I say ill-timed because Biden is not even sworn in yet and we are already at each other throats. Celerity Jan 2021 #138
