Ppl arguing for targeted $2K checks aren’t saying that more $ should be given to the poorest or that we would apply the savings toward things like rent cancellation, they’re just arguing for a reduction in relief spending... which again is dumb when your economy is in free fall.

Ppl earning $70-100K a year are not the ppl leeching off the economy. It’s the billionaire class, the ones they refuse to tax.

The relevant question is NOT... “is $1.9T too much in relief?”

The relevant question is... “how did billionaires increase their wealth by $3T since the start of the pandemic while the working class lost the same amount of wealth in the same time & how do we address that?”
