Looks like mama taught me well.

 

Cutesy plays well in a 12 year old girl.

In a grown ass man... not so much.

Let's wait a few years and see how this plays out. Then maybe we can have a grown-up conversation.

This has been floated earlier in the year, don't know if it is still considered a live option.

 

I think it was floated earlier last year (March, 2020). And the OP on this thread seems more like a Biden campaign proposal.

 

I've searched a bit to see if this is in the current $1.9T proposal, haven't found it (it could be there). Most talk is about $1,400 (in) and $15/hr min wage (out).

Yes you're right it was last year.  As I said, I don't know if it is still being considered.

according to this video, the $200/mo was not in the final proposal.

That video is from January 16, 2021. Are you certain it reflects the current situation?

 

As I said previously...

so it may well be accurate.

 

I guess we should wait until the House and Senate actually "reconcile" something?

I'm sure Jamie Dimon will get $200 million a month before I see an extra $200 a month.

My Thai wife and I received a $600 check from uncle sugar in the Thai snail mail today . We didn't qualify for the last one after Trump nixed money for any American filing a joint tax return with a foreign national (real xenophobe, that one. glad he's history). Is there more to come?
