My point is I'm not sure it was ever a promise for 2+0.6k. I always understood the promise to be 2k total.

€2000 checks were explicitly discussed at key points in the election campaign. They were a mainstay of the messaging for the Georgia runoff campaigns. If they had meant Actually $1400 Checks it would have been smart politics to make that clear.

The Republicans parsimoniously passed legislation for $600 cheques.

Joe Mancin, Democrat Senator in a Trump state wanted the means testing.

The pre-election promise of $2000 cheques is being honoured with the additional
$1400 Democrat win bonus.
