Today, we're going to talk about the passage of the American relief plan into law and

the stunt that Republicans are pulling in response to it.

I also interview White House Press Secretary Jen Socky about when the money is going out

the door, Republican efforts to take credit for its passage, whether by not signing stimulus

checks was a missed opportunity, and how the White House plans on getting other legislation

passed over the 60-vote hurdle in the Senate, on Brian Tyler Cohen and you're listening

to No Lie.

It's then 50 days into Biden's administration and he's officially signed into law the American

Rescue Plan.

People are already seeing $1400 relief checks.

There's money for child tax credits, up to $3,600 bucks, an extension of jobless benefits

at $300 a week, money for vaccine distribution, which is ramped up tremendously.

It's even got a provision that makes eligible future cancellations of student loan debt tax-free.

So normally, if the government was to eliminate $10,000 in student loan debt, let's say,

$10,000 would be treated as income and you'd be taxed on it.

But thanks to this legislation, any future student loan debt cancellation won't be taxed,

so that's a really good sign of thanks to come.

All said, it's a bill that's so good that Republicans, zero of whom voted for it, are now

starting to take credit for it.

You want to talk about shameless Roger Wicker, the Republican Senator from Mississippi,

tweeted, quote,

Independent restaurant operators have won $28.6 billion with a target relief.
