14. Look, I'm physically disabled/homebound, I get $529/mo to live on...

The $600 was not the $2000 I had hoped for, but it was nevertheless gratefully received. Did it last long? Nope, gone quick, because it did what it was supposed to do: it helped me take care of some things which had been on delay.

Am I going to complain if I get $1400 instead of $2000 in whatever deposit may next arrive? NOPE. I'll be jumping for joy to have an amount of money I usually never do to handle things with.

I never thought it was promising another check which would be $2000 above and beyond the $600. I heard what Biden said and this computed in my brain as, "$600+$1400 = $2000. He is finishing giving us the amount we first aimed to receive."

I never thought anything else, as someone who can genuinely use the money, and I think it's twisting his words to call it any kind of failing on his part.

No one is crying, no one is complaining. Except for a few who don't like the discussion. Autumn Jan 2021 #1
