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.
