So...it only took a day into his Presidency before Biden and team started backpedalling on $2K stimulus checks. The story has suddenly changed to, "No no no, when we said "we guarantee $2K checks will go out immediately," we simply meant "$2K total if you add in the $600 you got nearly a year ago" and by "immediately" we simply mean "probably two months from now."
If you recall, "$2K stimulus checks immediately" was the foundation of the entire recent GA run-off elections from just a few weeks ago.
However, maybe he's just been too busy with signing mostly symbolic and toothless "executive orders" about the border wall and diversity training (based on the racist "Critical Race Theory") for small groups of federal employees, rather than focusing on the main promises of the election that would bring relief to the majority of Americans.
To be clear, I voted for him and pretty much anything is better than Trump. But the fact that it does not surprise me at all that the new administration couldn't even go one day before going back on their biggest promises is a sad indictment of the status quo "business as usual" bullshit that comes from all politicians these days, no matter what party they belong to. Promise big, go back on your word, and hope everyone just gets over it and forgets by the next election:
This reminds me of a story from about 20 years ago where Hooters unwisely decided to get all duplicitously cute with a "win a free Toyota" contest where they promised, or at least seriously misled, their own employees to believe that whoever won a company contest would get a free Toyota. However, the winner was shocked and infuriated to find out that it was really a "toy Yoda" instead.
She quit her job there and then sued the Hooters franchise that had ripped her off for "breach of contract and fraudulent misrepresentation."
She apparently won big. www.snopes.com/fact-check/hummer-bummer/
I wonder if the American people have a similar class action case against Biden?
