I just asked Speaker Pelosi, Leader Hoyer & Whip Clyburn if they believe they can get Bidens $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.

OP
If "targeted" means lowering the threshold to $50,000, I'll be pissed beyond words.

(31,879 posts)2. All I ask is that
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.

(993 posts)7. Start calling you reps on Monday to keep the same income ranges as before
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
