(Washington, DC) -- President Biden would be willing to send direct payments to fewer Americans, but he has no interest in sending smaller checks. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki [[ SAH-kee ]] said on Fox News Sunday Biden would consider lowering the income threshold for direct payments in his one-point-nine-trillion-dollar relief package. However, Psaki said Biden won't negotiate the size of the 14-hundred dollar payments. They're currently aimed at people making 75-thousand dollars a year or less. She said Biden is willing to further target the checks to "ensure they hit the Americans who need that help the most."
