Leave it to the Democrats to turn $17,000 into $1400.
9% of this bill specifically benefits US citizens with cash payments. The other 91% DOES NOT.
Liberals who supported this bill, can you please explain why this is a good bill? Be specific. Use numbers and facts and economic theory.
How is it good that we are spending $1.9 trillion to give $1400 to 280 million people?
SPECIFICALLY....HOW IS THIS A GOOD BILL ON THE WHOLE?
New Estimates on Senate’s Slightly Revised Cash Payment
As the Senate takes up the COVID relief bill passed by the House last week, Senate Democrats have proposed to lower the income level at which the $1,400 cash payments would be phased out. New estimates from ITEP demonstrate that, for most people, the change would make no difference.itep.org
The other 91% is going to pay the costs of letting covid run wild. Testing and treating to 30 million Americans who got sick.
Paying wages to local police, fire and municipal healthcare workers to keep the cities running.
Money to school districts to improve air quality and make infrastructure improvements to the systems to keep staff and students safe.
And it went for the people to get vaccines into arms.
All of the things Donald Trump should have done when he was in office and refused/failed to do.
