When Congress finalized the deal for $600 dollar stimulus checks to working Americans, most people were shocked they cut the original $1,200 in half. With people struggling to make ends meet it should be obvious that $600 won’t go very far. Who is to blame for this debacle? Nancy Pelosi may be part of the answer.
In a viral video Nancy Pelosi said $600 was a “significant” amount for working families.
Nancy Pelosi makes around $230K per year, which is almost triple the average working American’s salary. The average member of congress makes around $174K, which is double the average salary of American workers.
Her statement is more proof there is disconnect between what reality is for most people, and what the government feels reality is. If the $1,200 stimulus didn’t help people escape the financial struggles, how will $600 months later do that?
