Biden Is Bound And Determined To Stimulate The Economy By Putting Money In The Pockets Of Americans

About nine months after Americans received their first coronavirus aid payments from the government, new $600 "stimulus checks" started going out last week — after a last-ditch effort to raise the amount to $2,000 failed.

But President-elect Joe Biden hasn't given up on bigger direct payments.

He previously called the $600 checks "a down payment," and on Monday he said $2,000 stimulus checks would "go out the door," depending on the results of two U.S. Senate elections in Georgia.
