Biden has agreed to narrow eligibility for the $1,400 stimulus payments. ($80,000) [View all] Nevilledog Mar 2021 OP

I get my promised stimulus but a lot won't, and this is going to be a big problem in 2022 and 2024 liskddksil Mar 2021 #1

Does that mean a faster phase out after 75K? Or phase-out starts lower? AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #2

Only those making up to $80,000 (single) get anything under this proposal nt liskddksil Mar 2021 #3

faster after 75k dsc Mar 2021 #4

Phased out or zero? DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2021 #10

Sounds like phased from 75-80K AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #12

phased out from what I read dsc Mar 2021 #16

So some people will get $600 from Trump, nothing from Biden? leftstreet Mar 2021 #5

Yes, could be disastrous for us nt liskddksil Mar 2021 #6

No AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #9

What did they get from Trump? leftstreet Mar 2021 #11

If they made more than 75K they got less than 600 AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #15

Something from Trump, nothing from Biden leftstreet Mar 2021 #19

You said $600 AZSkiffyGeek Mar 2021 #25

the reduction rate was 5% compared to 28% under this idiotic plan dsc Mar 2021 #21

Only the Democrats can come up with something this dumb nt liskddksil Mar 2021 #30

this was just plain dumb dsc Mar 2021 #32

You are talking about qazplm135 Mar 2021 #44

Ok, I re-read the proposal Elessar Zappa Mar 2021 #68

Those are 2019 numbers for most MoonlitKnight Mar 2021 #73

that's why they need to file their taxes qazplm135 Mar 2021 #85

Many cannot file yet MoonlitKnight Mar 2021 #88

I don't see why this is a problem mcar Mar 2021 #13

Two reasons that I can see. Elessar Zappa Mar 2021 #17

3rd reason: 2019 income doesn't always indicate 2021 need Bonn1997 Mar 2021 #86

They should agree to this, then do ANOTHER stimulus in June, this time just direct payments LaMouffette Mar 2021 #18

They cannot do another one, it will be filibustered and zero chance 10 Rethugs cross over Celerity Mar 2021 #77

Can we at least try? I think we should try. Trying seems to be a good idea. ahoysrcsm Mar 2021 #83

In theory, it isn't so bad. mvd Mar 2021 #27

So what happens if this passes the Senate. It still doesn't match the House proposal. OrlandoDem2 Mar 2021 #33

Yep. It goes to conference committee. More delays and more chances for RW BS. Sibelius Fan Mar 2021 #41

it would have gone either way since the 15 min wage is gone dsc Mar 2021 #42

Just Brilliant. Just gave Republicans a reason to say this is why they didn't vote for it Thrill Mar 2021 #38

Some kind of compromise with republicans PatSeg Mar 2021 #43

This is not a Compromise with Republicans - not one will vote for this. It is a compromise liskddksil Mar 2021 #45

Excerpt from the story in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Deminpenn Mar 2021 #61

Nope the start of the phase out remains the same as it was dsc Mar 2021 #62

That is not what the story says Deminpenn Mar 2021 #66
