Biden is giving many Americans a lot more than $1,400 stimulus checks

[Andy Meek]

• People's general understanding up to this point about President Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus plan is that it will give them a new stimulus check for $1,400.
• Some people have criticized Biden's stimulus plan for not delivering on the $2,000 stimulus checks that were promised on the presidential campaign trail.
• A new analysis of the plan, however, argues that it will actually put much more than $1,400 into many Americans' pockets.

When it comes to the $1.9 trillion economic rescue plan that President Biden has proposed which includes benefits like funding to provide most Americans with a new stimulus check, Democrats have been in something of an awkward spot when it comes to messaging related to the stimulus bill.

Last month, then-President-elect Biden promised Georgia voters that if they sent two Democrats to Washington DC in that state's high-stakes runoff election, $2,000 stimulus checks would "go out the door" immediately. Just imagine, Biden encouraged Georgia voters during one campaign event, what that "will mean to your lives -- putting food on the table, paying rent, paying your mortgage, paying down the credit card, paying the phone bill, the gas bill, the electric bill." Except, well, not only have those stimulus checks not gone out the door as promised, but they also won't be for $2,000, either. Democrats' awkward messaging has shifted to -- well, when you include the $600 checks from the Trump administration at the end of his term, added to the new $1,400 checks Biden has promised, that's $2,000.
