A steady, regular children's allowance would surely be of more benefit to poor people than a tax deduction?

At least they means-tested, to some extent, the stimulus cheques this time around. I understand why they didn't do it first time out last year, when they just wanted to get money into people's hands quickly without going through the process of weeding out those who make too much, but after that it should have been means-tested. For example, neither myself or my wife lost work or income, and while a bit extra is always welcome, we absolutely did not need to get any stimulus money.

We were in the same boat (well the wife is a sub-teacher but didn't do it that often for us to really feel the effect of not having that income). I was shocked to get the stimulus the first time, as was thinking I haven't lost my job etc, but then someone said to me it's about kick-starting the economy so, in essence, people get money they wouldn't otherwise have and spend it on whatever, which in turns puts money in another businesses pocket, who then spend that money on eg wages, more stock, employ more people, etc, and so on...economics is just one area were I have a very limited grasp of things but that made sense to me but no idea if that's the case

I don't think this stimulation packages is the best use of money. A lot of people working have saved money in this year, because they cannot spend it. They will spend more when they can, but giving them more money will not necessarily cause them to spend it all.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Tammy duckworth and mazie horono say they won't vote for any white person to be included in the Biden administration unless they are lgbtq , that's where the Democrats are in 2021 , that's how sick they are , but saying China virus will lead to hate crimes.

Leaving aside the fact that they backed down and that their fight was with the BIDEN administration:

1. How many white non-LBGTQ people have been appointed to the cabinet/administration to date?
2. How did these two senators vote on those nominees?

they should be delighted with Levine being confirmed tonight , a fraud who removed his/her mother from a care home but made it Pennsylvanian policy for everyone else to have to remain.
The best person for the job seems to be a dinosaur policy now .
No sign of joe going to Colorado yet , doesn't fit the narrative.

The first bullshit line is busted, so you're going to throw another bag of shit at the wall and see if that sticks.

That is how normal politics works. Joe Manchin is doing very well for himself with it, as is Kyrsten Sinema.

What was this concession anyway which will live long in infamy?

Great press conference

Is it time for you guys to end your circle jerk.

Actually considering your shite, probably not.

Enjoy.

Don't worry.

He can always go back to the "Joe is an unrepentant, godless, pinko socialist who is going to try to implement Soviet-style communism" option.

If Trump had put in a performance like Joe did yesterday with the crib notes and the media sheet all we would be hearing today is that he needs to be removed via the 25th Ammendment

Its always comes back to the crooked media whitey, doesn't it?

Maybe Joe should have went on streams of consciousness about bleach treatments, miracle drugs and Mexican rapists, instead of using (OMG!) notes to fall back on when discussing a wide range of issues.

I do a lot of presentations in my work. I like to have notes handy, often in the powerpoint presenter view, just in case I need them, especially when it comes to stuff like figures and stats. I guess that makes me a fraud.

Face it. The right wing media can't decide whether Joe is senile and a puppet, or a radical leftist. Because they can't deal with the actual reality that he is a moderate centrist; it leaves them little to demonize.

the media pictures and names on a chart wtf was that was the whole thing staged , never took a question from doocey . Where were  Acosta and Jorge Ramos to grill him on the border crisis? Fake media total disasters.

Gabriel_Hurl

Why would Jim Acosta be asking questions to Biden. He hasn't been a WH correspondent in over 2 months - he was replaced by Kaitlan Collins.
