@coreyb9240 Because the American people are NOT "just getting one check." That is only one part of the bill. American people are also getting things like improved unemployment payouts, food aid benefits to families, funding to keep schools and transit open, a significant child tax credit, vaccine distribution, health insurance subsidies, etc. Basically, the $1400 is the floor of what people get, but the more in need people are, the more additional functions the bill provides for them. Just handing people cash is not always the best solution to a problem, but it can be a part of a solution.
But yes, conservatives pushed the Democrats to lower the top-end of the eligibility requirements so that some people will be getting less. We need bigger Democratic majorities in the Senate so we can avoid that sort of thing in future.

@seraeggobutterworth5247 Nowhere in the 14th amendment does it say or imply that someone needs to be charged, tried, OR convicted of any crime to fall under the 14th's provisions. In fact, most of those who were disqualified from a ballot under the 14th were never charged, tried, or convicted of anything. The 14th does not say "if they have been convicted of insurrection," or anything of the sort, it only says "if they violate their oaths of office, which Trump did. A judge or other duly appointed election official is constitutionally justified in making such a determination, but of course higher authorities could overrule their determination. But again, legal convictions are 100% irrelevant to the process, I have no idea why so many on the right seem convinced that this is a winning argument for them.
