There was no math involved. They just picked a number that sounds high enough to make poor people happy and low enough for the GOP to agree toWhat was the math they did on the original $1800? It came out to slightly above minimum wage for a month of full time work at.$11.25/hr. Extend it out 7 months or half a year, and it comes out to $1.6 an hr for 28 weeks of full time work. There is no basis where $1800 was enough for anything. And now the $600 is looking like it'll need to stretch 3 plus months lol. And at this rate, the $1400 will need to last longer than the first $1800
Didn't they say half of Congress are millionaires. Look at our newly elected officials. Harris made $7 million last year. Very few know the struggles.
