The anger of some Americans at the reluctance in the United States Congress to approve a check for $ 2,000 was marked with graffiti on the home of the Speaker of the Democratic Majority in the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.
With the arrival of the New Year, unknown persons vandalized part of the Pelosi residence, in California, with messages claiming that the payment of $ 600 approved in the Legislature is not enough.
The door of the garage of the house of politics in San Francisco dawned on the first day of 2021 with paint that simulated blood and the head of a pig. Messages like “cancel the rent!”, “$ 2,000 dollars” and “we want it all!” accompany the design.
The new stimulus package that Pelosi and most of the Democratic and Republican legislators recently approved, establishes the sending of checks of $ 600 per person, plus the same amount per minor dependent. The distribution process for the second round began this week by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Treasury Department with millions of deposits in beneficiary bank accounts.
On the issue of housing, legislators extended the federal moratorium to prevent more evictions of tenants for debt in the payment of rent, in addition to establishing a fund of $ 25,000 million dollars for the debtors.
However, many are not satisfied with the actions taken in Washington DC and decided to explicitly bill Pelosi.
The spokeswoman for the Democrats has not spoken publicly after the incident.
$ 2,000 stimulus check in limbo
Although the president Donald Trump, At the last minute, he insisted that they amend the law to increase the base amount per beneficiary to $ 2,000, finally agreeing to sign the legislation for payments of $ 600 while avoiding a federal government shutdown.
Interestingly, the main opponents of Americans receiving additional direct payments up to $ 2,000 are Republicans led by the Pelosi’s Senate counterpart Mitch McConnell.
This week, the Senate, led by McConnell, blocked the possibility of giving way to the $ 2,000 check while overriding Trump’s veto on a major defense bill.
