I just asked Speaker Pelosi, Leader Hoyer & Whip Clyburn if they believe they can get Biden’s $1.9T through Congress as is given that there is pushback even from Democrats about the size of the bill & targeting of it. They said yes to $1.9T though checks may become more targeted.

They lift the SALT Cap.

Folks in NJ might have made 180K in 2019 - one earner lost their job -

And they need that additional 10K if they aren't eligible for the $600 or $1400.

Also - a lot of seniors are at just 40K in this area. They must be eligible.

That alone would help pay a significant amount of the bill.

The original ranges worked!

Don't start watering it down, because it will be harder to another one.

We would have got the $2000 with the original income ranges if the republicans had not stalled the bill
