    So you feel Biden should’ve stuck with that original $2000 and let Republicans block the bill which would’ve resulted in nothing for the American people?

          Some guy gives you $6.

          I say I’m gonna give you $20.

          I get you $14 and I say it’s $20 because of the $6 from before.

          Do you not get why people would be upset about this? Stop thinking like a wonk and start thinking like someone who reads at a fifth grade level and had their civics class cut due to lack of funding.

            No, it’s some guy gives you $6.

            I say I’m going to give you $20.

            When it comes time to give you the money later, a third party says no.

            I give you the $14 that I can give you.

            You ignore that the third party got in the way and you told me it’s my fault.

            Stop thinking like a wonk

            You should start thinking this way, so that the things you say are correct and relevant.
