question but probably not if they come from you.  I answer with comments for context

1/.  Yes both of them voted for the compromise COVID bill earlier this month but, if you can believe their own words...doubtful, if the issue had come up in May they would have been opposed and had it not been for Jan 5 they would probably still have opposed the current measure and it is a “bet the farm” certainty they would not be now clambering for a $1400 increase if it were not for Jan 5.  Their “road to Damascus. Moment” was the realization it is more important to not buck your and their “hero” along with his rabid base if they expect to have any chance of winning the runoff.  It’s election politics pure and simple.  You know it and I know it.

2/.   Yes the payment should go to ALL who meet the income limits because this is as much to boost the economy as much as aid the work force.  The bet is those who have been effected will spend it on rent and groceries and utilities, those who have not been effected will spend it on luxuary items or on investment opportunities.  The operative word is “spend”.  You know it and l know it.

The in-numbered question actually is a classic “gotcha” question unworthy of being asked or answered.  You know it and l know it.
