Default American Politics 3.0 - Back to Brunch

Since we have three Trump threads, maybe we can use this one to focus on non-Trump politics and the incoming administration. Sounds like Biden is already walking back his commitment to $2000 stimulus cheques.

The incoming administration will work with Congress on the quick stimulus package after Biden takes office on Jan. 20, although the impeachment of Trump threatens to consume lawmakers in the initial weeks.

The stimulus package has a price tag above $1.5 trillion and includes a commitment for $1,400 stimulus checks, according to a source familiar with the proposal, and Biden is expected to commit to partner with private companies to increase the number of Americans getting vaccinated.
Before anyone tries with the "$600 + $1400 = $2000" spin, he committed to $2000 repeatedly after the $600 went out.
