first figure out who should be eligible, congress is arguing all types of thresholds, needs, how about an online app, you estimate what you made in 2020, 401k distributions are exempt, as is unemployment, if u are still unemployed you say yes,after you submit ur taxes u confirm!
Key difference in stimulus proposal is income requirements - if you make 51K you don't need help anymore according to GOP (despite how they helped 1% with tax cuts...); funny how they want to change things all of a sudden after LOSING an election (and don't need votes) joebiden

So bye, $2000? That's cute. Acting like it was always $1400. The ol' let's lower it so they think $1400 is a lot.
