How are we Supposed to Reach the Goal if the Goalposts Keep Moving?

First it was $2000, then it became $1400 because you already got the $600 “down payment”, and now…

Biden, Senate Democrats agree to limit eligibility for $1,400 checks (nbcnews.com)

Senate Democrats plan to give $1,400 checks to fewer people under a deal struck with President Joe Biden, according to two sources familiar with it.

Every American who filed individually and makes up to $75,000 would still get the full amount before it begins to reduce at incomes above that. But rather than zero out at $100,000 earnings, as the last Covid-19 relief bill does, the Senate bill would cut off payments at $80,000, the sources said.

For couples filing jointly, incomes up to $150,000 would still get the full amount. But rather than zero out at $200,000, the Senate bill would cut off payments at $160,000 in earnings.

Boy, if I was one of those people who voted in those Democrats in GA to get my $2,000 check, I would feel very cheated.

Of course, that’s one of the many problems with buying votes. You have to actually turn over the money at some point.

Oh, and it’s illegal. Yeah, there’s that.
