About those checks:
A Treasury Department spokeswoman, however, denied any delay and said the plan all along was to issue the checks next week.
“Economic Impact Payment checks are scheduled to go out on time and exactly as planned — there is absolutely no delay whatsoever,” the spokeswoman said in a written statement. She said this was a faster process than the stimulus checks the George W. Bush administration issued in 2008 to head off a looming recession.
“In fact, we expect the first checks to be in the mail early next week which is well in advance of when the first checks went out in 2008 and well in advance of initial estimates,” the statement said. (WaPo and Treasury)
But WaPo knows that intellectually challenged, superficial Useful Idiot Nation isn’t going to actually read the whole article. So they can bury the truth and Useful Idiot Nation will just run with the headline.
Maybe there won't be a delay, maybe there will, won't know until they come out, changing code can be simple, changing code can be hard. Why even put that into play?
Quick to blame others.
Quick to take credit for others work.
Neither are traits of good leadership.
