The second relief bill has finally passed. According to some experts, the relief checks could be handed out as early as next week. And it couldn’t come any sooner as many Americans are still struggling to make ends meet. But the $900 Billion Bill that was passed only includes a $600 check for struggling citizens. If you remember, the last bill had a $1200 check attached to it. Even Nancy Pelosi called the $1200 – crumbs when the national rent average is over $1400. So, it was shocking when Pelosi referred to the new $600 handouts as “significant”.
You can't make this up…

That’s right, Pelosi even doubled down on her statement when she said, “I would like them bigger, but they are significant, and they will be going out soon. The president may insist on having his name on the check. But make no mistake, those checks are from the American people. The American people’s name should be on that check, no individual.”

America has been battling a pandemic for almost a year. Lives have been lost and businesses ruined forever, but don’t worry – Pelosi and the Democrats want you to know that your pain is only worth a measly $600. But hey, that is just enough to buy a new gaming console that retails for over $500. Not to mention that the average national debt carried by a person is over $90,000.

As for Pelosi’s comments, it didn’t take long for the internet to catch up and give her a quick lesson in finance. One user said, “What are you going to do with your $600 stimulus check? Pay 1 of your 10 overdue bills – buy barely 2 weeks worth of groceries – pay a quarter of your rent – ???? – use it to wipe your tears.”

It is interesting how Pelosi would call the checks significant when she herself is one of the highest-paid members in congress. It is unknown the last time she knew what $600 even looked like. As of 2020, Pelosi’s net worth is over 100 million dollars. As for the yearly salary, the American people pay her $223,000 a year do what exactly? But remember to be grateful when you receive that check in the mail because the Democrats are hurting just like us.
