The pandemic's fourth stimulus check has so far been nothing more than talk, but it may move closer to becoming a real thing this week as Congress returns to work after its Memorial Day recess and following some potentially encouraging comments from the Biden White House.

Scores of lawmakers have been arguing for another relief payment, and they're likely to push harder by capitalizing on fresh developments. Those include remarks from his press secretary that President Joe Biden could go along with a fourth check, and new evidence of how stimulus checks are making a difference.


quote:

More than 80 mostly Democratic members of Congress have signed letters urging President Joe Biden to approve a fourth stimulus check. Seven members of the House Ways and Means Committee — a congressional panel with significant influence over government spending — recently became the latest to join the cause.

In their letter to Biden, the Ways and Means members said a fourth stimulus check and a fifth would keep an additional 12 million people out of poverty.

The lawmakers don't recommend a specific dollar amount for the new payments. But other members of the House and the Senate have called for $2,000 checks, and so does a Change.org petition now signed by 2.3 million citizens.

Send out a 2K stimulus check but only to the employed

The unemployed have sucked enough federal funds out of society

They must show support waning in their polling numbers.

Quietly sliding into Universal Basic Income, one step closer to the Great Reset.

Everyone is hiring, the only thing holding the economy back and encouraging "poverty" is the piss poor efforts of this administration.

Whatever damages America and positions us for the Reset is what the establishment will do.

All we have to do is just give them a check and then they are out of poverty. How have we never thought of that before

This is almost an act of war against the American people.

The actions over the last year will destroy our form of currency. The only question that I have is if it’s intentional or not.

It's easier to throw these checks in to push past Republican resistance for their pet projects.

I hope he fricking does it. I'll take some free dinero and I am more than well positioned for inflation. Joe Biden and the Democrats have clearly destroyed the US economy beyond repair with their foolishness and fear of Covid. Let them go all the way, throw some more gasoline on the dumpster fire that is this administration. They are so stupid, I guarantee they will do it and continue to frick shite up, not realizing this summer inflation is already going to pick up significantly from where it is as the velocity of $$$ increases

Know how I know that these people are out of touch with reality? They think that a 600 to 2000 check will get people out of poverty. Can you imagine how superior they feel about this? We will give them a 1400 check, and they will be able to make that last for several months, and be out of poverty. They have no clue.

What they need to do is to make people get back to work. Then, they will have a stimulus check coming in every two weeks.

They are mandating a $15 min wage as an end around.

They are trying to make it untenable to show up to work for less.

This way they can say "my hands are clean, I didnt make it $15 wage"

So this will cost about 700billion, it’ll be tacked on to a 5 trillion spending bill full of pork... but the only thing that will be mentioned about the bill is stimmy checks.

Keeps the focus and discussion off of whatever else they want to ram through.

Never let a crisis go to waste

I want a big, fat "I didn't miss a single day of work during the pandemic, in a high-risk occupation" check.

That'll do.
