Help me on this one. What power does Biden have to send out stimulus checks to anyone? What other promises has he "broken"?
he has both a house and senate majority. im tired of democrats and their excuses when they have the power to actually do something.
You do realize that Biden has no power to either send checks on his own or order Congress to do anything so blaming Biden is silly. You also realize that the legislation to do these things takes time to write (they just finished a few days ago) and that Congress has its own legislative procedures it must follow, not to mention the constitutional requirement that money bills start in the House. And you must realize that the Senate is 50/50 and one Democratic Senator is against at least a portion of the bill as currently proposed. And, finally, you realize that nobody is going to get a $2,000 anyway; it’s $1,400. Just sayin...
Stay angry my friend.
Trump got whatever the hell trump wanted when he had both the house and senate. im tired of the excuses. i understand excuse making with a divided government, but it's time to crack the whip. the democrats need a mcconnell of their own, too many spineless wimps running the show.
Ruling probably takes minimum wage hike out of Covid relief bill.

using budget reconciliation to pass a minimum wage raise was bernie's idea. i love bernie, but it sounded like a bad plan from the start. what bernie
should of done was create a bill raising the minimum wage, and then have manchin and probably all of the republicans on record saying theyre against americans having the right to make more than $7.25 an hour.
also, $15 minimum wage is a joke. if it kept up with productivity / inflation / cost of living it since the 1970s it would be around ~$25 an hour now. why is it not? where do you think the 1% gets their $ from? EXPLOITING LEGALIZED WAGE THEFT! and us taxpayers foot the bill. walmart et al can pay starvation wages, because there's always food stamps and section 8 housing to keep their employees surviving on the bare minimum. funny how the "pro life" and "anti tax" crowd are also pro slave wage labor whining about how $15 an hour burger flippers are costing them an extra 20 cents for their big mac...
anyways, still pinning this on the democrats. can't wait for them to lose the house and the senate in 2022 and trump to be president again in 2024 - that appears to be their goal, or at least, the goal of their funders. buy both sides, and you always win! contrary to popular belief, i am anti-fascist, not a democrat, and both parties promote fascism. but the democrats have *diverse* fascism!
