This is a key point. The $600 check was *already* targeted. The promise was the same type of checks.
Democrats are already getting cute with the $2,000, but changing the terms of the promise on *who* gets the check is absolutely, without question, breaking the promise https://twitter.com/stephaniekelton/status/1357312724645076992

Democrats said look, they want just $600. We’ll do $2,000 if you elect us.
You cannot then change the terms of who gets that. That’s slimy, it’s a lie, and people voted based on that promise.
If that was what Dems wanted to offer, that’s what they should have run on.

This is not a small tweak either. New Census numbers show it could cut by HALF the number of people who get the check. That would be a detestable lie on which to launch a presidency. https://twitter.com/davidsirota/status/1356790478859948032?s=20
Right now the checks start phasing out at $75k/yr for an individual based on that person's 2019 (!) taxes. Some Dems want to lower that to $50k/yr https://twitter.com/CPTMoorgan/status/1357323386138025985?s=20
