Unbelievable. There are some Dems who want to lower the income eligibility for direct payments from $75,000 to $50,000 for individuals, and $150,000 to $100,000 for couples. In other words, working class people who got checks from Trump would not get them from Biden. Brilliant!

3. "Some Dems" is Joe Manchin.

He's the one who came up with this nonsense.

We have to resist any attempt to lower the threshold as it is political suicide, as Bernie notes.

6. I'm not going to get a check either way, but I am liking Bernie more and more

now that he's on Joe's team. I do think he has the interests of the average American at heart.
