Thankfully things are looking up and those income levels are lowered now. Your (not $2000) $1400 is on the way sometime probably in late May? Glad there was such a rush to get this done.

Yes, you are right. Screwing over the people really financially affected by COVID by giving 400 billion dollars in aid to people not affected is the caring, humanitarian approach. What's the win here for you if they give $2000 to everyone? That you get a policy from the progressives passed and you can all virtual high five each other?
Lowering income is being proposed to more target people who lost their jobs or suffered hardships from COVID, since those lower income groups were much more likely to be affected. You seem to care nothing about people actually hurt financially by COVID, and are all about ensuring $2000 for everyone.
I can take Rubecube's argument a little more seriously. They did promise it, and I guess they should live up to their promise. But it really is a terrible policy that is not directing the money to the right people, and in the end limits what can be done for the people who really have got a bad deal from this pandemic.
And you guys calling everyone Reagan centrists, or Biden boot licker, or corporate boot lickers just goes to show you really don't understand what your target about or are serious about having real discussions about it.
