Newt Gingrich Agrees With Trump On $2,000 Checks, Says Center Class Has Been Hardest Hit (VIDEO)

By Nancy Carrillo On Dec 30, 2020

In terms of the size of the stimulus checks, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich agrees with President Trump that the value should be $ 2,000, not $ 600.

He argues that this is an economic event at the World War II level and blames it on the Democratic governors who shut down stores.

It also paints a very grim picture of the American economy under a Biden administration.

Gingrich: The middle class was the “big loser” in the pandemic. US $ 2,000 checks help struggling Americans

While Congress is considering increasing coronavirus stimulus checks for individuals from $ 600 to $ 2,000, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich joined President Donald Trump’s call on Tuesday to stop the coronavirus stimulus payment being disbursed. Checks increased from $ 600 to $ 2,000.

In FNC’s Fox & Friends, Gingrich recognized the importance of a balanced federal budget, but said that middle-class Americans were the “big losers” in the shutdowns carried out to contain the spread of the coronavirus, particularly in democratic states. He added that $ 2,000 checks would “help” the average American struggling with the “clutter” created by some governments.

“It’s like World War II. We have a disaster in this country that has been dramatically made worse by Democratic governors in places like California, Illinois, New York who have crushed small businesses and killed the restaurant industry, ”Gingrich said.

Newt Gingrich is a deficit hawk. If even he campaigns for it, the Republicans would be crazy not to go along with it.

Mitch McConnell introduces a new measure on $ 2,000 checks. We’ll probably know if this happens or not by the end of the week.
