Here's the thing about the prospects for yet another new stimulus check -- to be more specific, a fourth direct coronavirus relief payment, which is already being called for in some circles including by a number of progressive US Senators and members of the House of Representatives.
An argument can definitely be made for a new stimulus check. A study from the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, for example, found that another check would help bring more than 6 million Americans out of poverty. Along those same lines, the Economic Security Project -- a left-leaning policy initiative advocating for universal basic income -- issued a report noting that stimulus checks have "played a leading role in helping Americans keep their heads above water during this recession." Meanwhile, reasons to think a new stimulus check might be more of a long shot than anything else at this point include the fact that it would no doubt face an even tougher uphill climb than the last round of payments did. And President Biden, as well as his Press Secretary Jen Psaki, have said almost nothing about a fourth stimulus check at this point, either.
