Democrats are rallying behind a plan to give some Americans monthly $2,000 relief checks during the coronavirus crisis, The Hill reports.
If Republicans don’t agree, they will be the bad guys in November, if they do do it, they will probably cause irreparable harm to the economy.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) endorsed the monthly relief checks. It will likely be part of the multi-trillion-dollar relief package we can expect to see shortly.
WE OWE PEOPLE THE BORROWED MONEY
“The government has told people we need to shelter in place to keep safe. So it’s the government’s obligation to provide for basic expenses while we’re telling people not to work. It’s really that simple,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a very far-left progressive leader who has authored legislation calling for more relief checks, told The Hill.
“We need $2,000 a month for families struggling to pay the bills,” he added.
Communista Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) and communistic Progressive Caucus Co-Chair Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), have teamed up on the ABC Act that would give every American $2,000 a month for the duration of the crisis, and $1,000 a month for an entire year after the crisis ends.
After it ends!
Similar legislation offered by Khanna, who was co-chairman of communist Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) presidential campaign, and Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), would be based on means-testing. The Emergency Money for the People Act would give a $2,000 monthly payment to individuals making less than $130,000 a year, or $4,000 a month for couples making less than $260,000 annually.
This would be some enormous redistribution of wealth. It’s far more than a socialist would do. It’s communism.
On Friday, Sens. Sanders, Ed Markey(D-Mass.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), a leading contender to be Joe Biden’s running mate, rolled out a plan of their own, the Monthly Economic Crisis Support Act. It would send monthly $2,000 checks to Americans who make less than $120,000 a year, up until three months after the pandemic ends. Married couples would receive $4,000, plus another $2,000 for each child.
“Bills come in every single month during the pandemic and so should help from our government,” Harris tweeted.
Wow! Great comments. The only thing I can add to this article is…the picture of Nanzi with the article is really not doing her any favors.
If she had more surgery since the dims went on semi-permanent vacay, she needs to get a refund.
Just sayin’.
Just print more money. Printing more money during a crisis (real or not) is one of the few times it’s not going cause the problems the ones who have the highest levels of fear about economic collapse propose. The economy is a psychology engine. Debt is an illusion for the most part. Search the details on this yourself. I know.… Read more »
All of the Commies are revealing themselves counting on suffering Americans to accept being slaves
These people are psychopaths. The ONLY thing they care about is power. They care not one whit about you or I or NEone else other than themselves; yet dress up their pretension & deceit under the cloak of ‘compassion’. The liars! Remember: Satan comes as an angel of light!
Yea Nancy don’t mind driving the country deeper in debt. She has her millions of dollars to fall back on while we don’t have money to fall back on. We already own China to much money as it is. Nancy needs to do something constructed not destructed. Dumb ass Socialist /Democrat.
Well well. What a surprise. That’s the only way Democrats get any kind of vote. Heck – give me the money but I’m still voting the other way. Now be careful with this BRIBE!! They say 1 thing now but if they should win, you won’t see that money – GUARANTEED!
Typical Democrat MO … pander to the poor (and indigent) and buy votes to increase power and influence, while further enabling dependency and folks not to work. Particularly heinous about this proposal is that some already feeding from the government trough (the hard-working taxpayer) were not affected by the pandemic and would be substantially better off with this “shot in… Read more »
