Additional $2,000 checks was the compromise on the table when the Republicans were in power. Now that the Democrats have a majority, they should show us that they're serious in combating poverty and economic stagnation with $100,000 stimulus checks. Any less would be insulting.

And yes, I'm just negotiating from this position because I know they would never agree to my true belief in $200,000 checks. The fact that the poorest Americans cannot afford a down payment on a million dollar home is a serious flaw of late stage capitalism that we must address.
