A bipartisan group of senators is pushing to exclude higher-income families from receiving a $1,400 stimulus check

does not specify a threshold for exclusion of the stimulus checks. It says only that it would bar payments from"upper-income taxpayers." It is not likely to pass." that began Thursday afternoon, which allows for any senator to propose an amendment to a budget resolution. The resolution is expected to be approved as Democrats charge ahead with securing the passage of President Joe Biden's $1.9 trillion relief package without GOP votes.

The measure underscores the ongoing debate in Congress on who should qualify for a fresh wave of $1,400 stimulus checks. Biden and White House officials say they are willing compromise on the income threshold — but not the size — of the direct payments. "Further targeting means not the size of the check — it means the income level of people who receive the check," Biden spokesperson Jen Psaki said at a press conference on Wednesday."That's something that is under discussion."that would direct stimulus payments towards lower-income households. The proposal would only provide a full $1,400 check for individuals earning $50,000 and under. Then couples earning $100,000 and below would qualify for a full federal payment.

Another check program but little done to extend credit or additional payroll protection to small businesses that are trying to maintain staff. More like the Barstool Fund needs to be done. Watch below to hear ab the Fund and our thoughts:

This wasn’t what was promised. BidenLied

And there it is. Why people don't trust the government. The one thing Dems are going to agree on is to cut their base out of stimulus checks. Enjoy these couple of years because one unfulfilled campaign promise(like this one) will be your demise.
