YEs, it needs to be more.
But it's $1400 per adult under like $80K and per kid. And the kid tax credit was expanded to $3K per kid. Instead of having to wait until next year, that credit is split out into 10 payments.
So, a family of 4 would get $1400 for each adult and both kids. And then every month get $600. Oh, and they added $300 to unemployment, which was extended out to September.
That's pretty significant for a family scrapping by.
The $300 per kid is significant. That's a car payment for a good car. Having access to a good car means being able to drive to get a job. Or it could mean quitting that 2nd part time so they can work on improving skills to get a better job.
That's important.
But, yeah, it needs to be more.
