Dems are using the $1400 checks in their package as leverage, to get all the other stuff in their $1.9 trillion package passed. But if someone just put forward a 2 sentence bill to send $2000 out to everyone, they could vote on that.

If Dems don't vote for it, would be a massive red pill.

If they did vote for it, the $1.9 trillion package would not have any legs to stand on.

Seems like an easy win-win. Maybe I am missing something, why has this not happened?
