First there was the $1,200 stimulus check in April 2020.
Then there was the $600 check in December of 2020:

Now...despite GOP Speaker of the House saying "There Is No More Money" last week, they have miraculously found enough to send 200M+ Americans a check for $2,000 (amazing what losing a few races in off year elections does for the pocket book eh???).
Clearly, these new outlays are only meant to help the president's polling numbers and will add another trillion or two to the deficit.
Both parties are out to lunch fiscally so I'm not too concerned about whether it comes to pass or not.

Most Americans will get $600 after Trump signs stimulus bill
The president's decision to back down and sign the measure released $900 billion in stimulus funds into the economy that had been held up for nearly a week.
