Biden says he's open to negotiating income limits for stimulus checks
[The Hill] President Biden said Monday that he's open to negotiating the income limits for a new round of stimulus payments as he seeks to enact a coronavirus relief package early in his presidency."This is all a bit of a moving target in terms of the precision with which this goes," he said at an event where he signed an executive order aimed at increasing federal procurement of American-made goods. Biden earlier this month released a $1.9 trillion relief proposal that included direct payments of $1,400 per person. He said he included that item in his proposed package because it has bipartisan support and because he thought its inclusion could increase the odds of his proposal passing. However, some lawmakers have expressed concerns that the payments might not be targeted enough to those most in need and could go to some high-income families. Posted by: Besoeker 2021-01-26 |
