Meanwhile, in reality, Joe Biden STILL owes me $1400.

"Gave out tens of thousands of dollars" meant $30,000 divided among 300 million Americans.

It's because he had to do all that student loan forgiveness for like... ummm... 0,01% of what he promised.

I can't believe that shit, really. How the hell are there still people who haven't been paid? Because the tax system is such a pain in the ass or what?

It's not because of some kind of bureaucratic error, it was an intentional failure to honor a promise. Trump sent out checks for $1400, and Biden promised checks for $2000. When he made it into office, he decided that his actual promise was to bring the total to $2000, and he sent out checks for just $600.

Huge "fuck you" to everyone actually paying attention. They even called them two thousand dollar checks. Joe called them that. He said "vote for Warnock and those $2000 checks will be in the mail" or something like that. Said it with his mouth. On camera. I remember it. And then the whole 1400+600=2000 narrative came out. Total horseshit. And basically nothing compared to all the PP loans the businesses got.

What should have been a really basic layup of a talking point: "I gave you more $ than Trump" turned into a spectacle of gaslighting bullshit.

The democrats love being losers.

In a good Banana republic you at least get the cash in hand at the voting booth.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Which we all predicted he would do lmao

It’s not an error, the correct amount of money was paid out. Biden just lied about how much money it would be then lowered it later
