If you say so, but from the last 4 years of fact-checking Trump, I don't think that's even a meaningful observation to make, even if you could get to the point where you clear the semantic quagmire of whether or not they were intentionally misleading or simplifying for the sake of brevity (does someone who gets a $2000 direct deposit get to say they lied about being sent a $2000 check?). Which you can't.
Instead, point out the unchallengable observation that the people deciding on these things are robots so fare removed from the lives of ordinary people that the can't possibly advocate for them, and instead busy themselves with arcane means tested and conditional games.
This is something that has already been realized by the average person and led them to apathy rather than radicalization.. "where's your $2000 check?" speaks directly to someone's material interests and might at least make them less apathetic.
they knew how the sound bites would be interpreted and made no effort to prevent them being widely misinterpreted because it was advantageous to them.
in other words they lied

I don't really buy that; all the people I know that are living paycheck to paycheck are just happy to get any breathing room.
They're not exactly grateful to the Dem's but they're also not scornful of the amount.
I'm pretty fucking pissed off at the amount actually and I'm well under paycheck to paycheck at this point
Yeah well you're also posting on a leftist forum so let's just say you were predisposed to being mad at Dems.
