Lots of folks thought $2000 was $2000. Look at this black website theroot article. Some people are pissed.

Damnit, Joe. Not like this.
Joe Biden hasn’t even taken office and he’s already pulling some fuckshit. On Thursday, Biden unveiled his proposal for a relief package that would cost some $1.9 trillion to help the struggling economy during the coronavirus pandemic.
But it appears that Biden forgot about the $2,000 he promised Americans and now that the fine print is legible, it looks like Americans are only looking at $1,400. Apparently, Biden intended for Americans to count the measly $600 that was passed in December with the $1,400 he’s looking to get approved once in office, and as many math scholars pointed out on Twitter, when you take $1,400 and add that with $600 you get $2,000. Fuck these mathholes and fuck maths.
This is not what Biden said when he needed Georgians to come out strong to elect Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to the Senate. Hell, both men campaigned on the promise of $2,000. Biden made repeated statements that once Congress was under Democratic rule, the checks would be out the door and now, like a shady car salesman, it seems that the money was attached to the money we got in December and what Biden really meant was he’d send out a “total” of $2,000 and that’s just fucked up.
It’s disingenuous for Biden to have claimed repeatedly that once he’s in office and Democrats control Congress that $2,000 checks would go out immediately only to then claim that the $1,400 checks are on the way.
