Over the weekend, Nancy Pelosi and the House of Representatives passed the COVID relief bill, the "American Rescue Plan Act of 2021." Democrats say the components of the bill are widely popular with the American people. Which makes sense, because the American people have been struggling due to the government shutdowns. The bill is mostly known for the $1,400 checks being sent out. "Free" money is popular even if the economics behind it is a little illiterate.
And yes, the one-time $1,400 checks are in the bill. Unless you work for the government. In that case, you may be eligible to get $1,400 a WEEK in what some critics are calling a "personal bailout for bureaucrats."
