Also.. I suspect there are a reasonable number of people who did ok in 2019.. but not 2020.. and some portion of them cant really wait to get it as a tax credit next february, they need help now.
And im like you.. i am doing ok without the stimulus. But you know.. That local food bank needs it. And the service workers i tipped the entire first stimulus to seemed VERY excited that they would be able to make bills without too much worry for once. And you and I are not the only ones doing such things with it. Its a movement of mutual aid. You may not need it.. but your community DOES need it.
Also worth remembering.. Dropping the income limit does not put a single dollar in the pockets of those millions of americans who need that money more than us. Its not like Manchin is wanting to cut the top end to raise the bottom.. its JUST cutting the top end.
