    American Rescue Plan

    Yeah, I remember that. It set the tone for the entire administration when Biden and the Dems sent out $1400 checks instead of the promised $2000 and cut the expanded unemployment from $600/wk to $300/wk. There was literally more economic relief under Trump which is fucking pathetic. What else did we get? A corporate giveaway infrastructure bill? Remember when the squad got "assurances" from Biden that if they voted for the shit bill, he'd get the better bill through? REMEMBER WHEN THAT HAPPENED :jokerfied:

      And then they claimed they never actually promised $2000 checks when campaign posters in Georgia were promising exactly that

      The conditions are perfect for someone (Trump, anyone) to come and and literally buy the election. Just promise people a cut on gas prices and across the board stipend of $1000 per month for one year, and student debt relief.

        Oh absolutely. There are extremely dark days ahead. The US is running head-long into a recession, probably a bad one, if I had to guess. I'm not expecting things to be better in 2023 so a message like that would probably do wonders.

          Democrats will means test any relief and run on a recession spending cuts platform.

          Republicans will unilaterally do something good for the people money-wosr and just be unstoppable.
