For the people crying about the amount of stimulus. You know what Biden wont do? LET PEOPLE DIE

[onecaliberal]

I am so exhausted with people who can do nothing but complain after what we're going through and have gone through.

[Autumn]

1. No one is crying, no one is complaining. Except for a few who don't like the discussion.

[onecaliberal]

2. A lot of people are complaining.

[PatSeg]

5. Yep, a whole bunch

[Autumn]

9. I haven't seen one yet. I have seen people discussing what Biden said in GA and the amount of the

stimulus that Congress is talking about sending out now.

[onecaliberal]

10. TV doesn't show any actual people. A simple google can provide.

[Autumn]

15. Well since the OP was posted here I thought the poster was talking about discussion here.

I have no intention of watching people complaining elsewhere.

[LizBeth]

4. I am reading accusations this is a fail on Biden's part. Take a success of all that is in the plan

especially the 15/hr and reduce it to a fail for a false argument.

[Autumn]

7. Got a link to that? I haven't seen one single accusations that this is a fail on Biden's part.

[LizBeth]

19. It says a lot if you hold to not having seen anything and needing a link from me. Its an easy google

[Autumn]

22. Are you saying the poster is addressing people who are talking about it elsewhere?

Maybe that's the problem. The complaints should be addressed to the people doing the complaining.

6. I beg to differ

I’ve seen complaints about $2,000 instead of $2,600.

[Autumn]

11. You are confused. People are talking about 2,600, got a link? They are talking about what

Biden said about the $2,000 in GA and the $1,400 Congress is talking about now.

[Cirque du So-What]

17. I have most certainly seen complaints that individuals will not receive $2,600 total

That’s counting the $600 that’s already been approved + $2,000 not yet approved. I’ve seen complaints here to that effect. Yes indeed.

[Autumn]

26. The 600 came from the Trump administration. Joe was talking about his administration.

3. I knew there was a faction of our party who would not give it a rest for one minute.

I am more than tired of it.

[awesomerwb1]

8. They will always complain about something (almost everything?)

Nothing is good enough for them. If their hero came up with less money, say $1000 instead of $2000 total, they would shower him with so much praise.

[asiliveandbreathe]

12. I would go back and post the links explaining just what Pelosi, and

Biden, and Dems have been discussing, surrounding this $2000.

Dear lord, there isn't enough space for all of the links explaining we will get to $2000 by way of $1400, and the $600 already in our bank..

$600+$1400=$2000 last I looked..I do hope those crying about this are not DUers..
deleted due to multi posts for some reason

[Autumn]

18. You only need one link. Joe in GA explaining how we get to $2000 by way of $1400, and the $600.

You won't find it. That was what the Progressive Caucus and some here here are talking about. It's what Joe said versus what Congress is saying.

[leftstreet]

21. +1

Don't know why this is so difficult for everyone

[Autumn]

23. BOOM! There it is. That one tweet and his video in GA should sweep away the bullshit.

Thank you. That should be a stand alone post.

[asiliveandbreathe]

33. This ongoing debate since end of Dec. has always been about $2000

checks..I saw the tweet where Joe said $2000 - I also watched Joe in GA..when he said vote for Ossoff and Warnock and the $2000 will go out the door..

But, IMHO the conversation has always been $2000..not $2600..we got $600, and $1400 more =$2000..I seriously don't think Joe and Nancy would be on such a different page..what am I missing here..?

35. How about we let the President decide his agenda. Joe knows $600 is nothing and people are

hurting. We will have a slim majority in the Senate, leadership needs to lean hard on anyone going against it. For example Joe Manchin, who has already stated he will not support what our president wants to do. Donkey and a carrot or a big stick, leaders choice.

36. Perhaps I said something to offend..did not mean to..I am not

chosing Bidens agenda, far be it for me..why would you even say something like that..just pointing out the checks were never about $2600..slim majority in Senate..yes, what's your point?

[Autumn]

37. No, we agree. My point is, the checks were never $2600 they were also never $1400.

Joe knows and said $600 was not enough and he want's another $2,000 stimulus check. No one logical is magically combining the checks that have been sent. It's an excuse to shut down the discussion.

[Akoto]

14. Look, I'm physically disabled/homebound, I get $529/mo to live on...

The $600 was not the $2000 I had hoped for, but it was nevertheless gratefully received. Did it last long? Nope, gone quick, because it did what it was supposed to do: it helped me take care of some things which had been on delay.

Am I going to complain if I get $1400 instead of $2000 in whatever deposit may next arrive? NOPE. I'll be jumping for joy to have an amount of money I usually never do to handle things with.

I never thought it was promising another check which would be $2000 above and beyond the $600. I heard what Biden said and this computed in my brain as, "$600+$1400 = $2000. He is finishing giving us the amount we first aimed to receive."

I never thought anything else, as someone who can genuinely use the money, and I think it's twisting his words to call it any kind of failing on his part.

[Demsrule86]

20. One of Biden's ideas is to increase SS for people who are in circumstances like you...it must be so

tough. I think that we will see more stimulus...

[sweetloukillbot]

25. $1400 was what the house passed

Not sure when all these house members moved the goalposts...

[sanatanadharma]

24. Is the USA a wealthy nation or a poor country?

The USA has the wealth necessary to get things done. We can have nice things.
IIRC, I heard President Biden say (early in his speech) that those on the top of the piss-on-you pyramid (aka trickle down) increased their wealth in this pandemic year, by 1.4 trillion dollars. That $1.4T could be paying for vaccinations.

The USA is wealthy and the wealth needs to be taxed.
The secondary argument that the debt can never be paid off is a ruse to convince the next generations that they will be screwed; therefore let us, the wealthy, take it all now.

The argument also reveals a lack of faith in the future growth of the country's wealth.
Tax all money made by money, not labor.
Return the fruits of labor to the working class by reducing the owner-manager class rip-off of value-added created by society not capitalists.

[Initech]

27. I want Joe to take over before this damn virus gets worse.

Because unlike President Shit For Brains, Joe actually cares about the virus and will help get this thing under control so we can go live lives again.

[LanternWaste]

28. The complaints often seem to cower behind implication and/or feigned concern

Allowing a lot of plausible deniability to better pretend those obvious complaints simply do not exist

When reading DU last night, the harbingers and foreshadowing of the FUD that will slowly build were apparent.

[bigtree]

29. for the people ridiculing people expecting more

...I'm exhausted with the people who think we don't have a right to speak out about our needs and expectations of government.

What the hell is this site for, if it's not a place where people can disagree? Candidates have their own fan sites.

Did it occur to you that people complaining have more to worry about than whether someone on DU is offended? In this case we're talking about many people who are in actual distress, not just internet angst over someone dissenting.

[Bradshaw3]

30. And yet here you are complaining and going nuclear

It's ok for people to disagree on policy. Really it is. And if they do you don't need to go nuclear, with the totally unrelated "yeah but at least he's not killing people so stop disagreeing with everything Biden does" crap. Sheesh.

[onecaliberal]

31. Spare me. I do think it's funny that you called my comment nuclear. What do you call

comments from the other side?

[fishwax]

32. yeesh. I wish we could dial down the rhetoric on our family squabbles here.

[Kaleva]

34. In the real world, I haven't heard one single person complain.
