Almost 40 million Americans lived in poverty even before the pandemic. 40% of Americans couldn’t afford a $400 unexpected expenditure even before the pandemic. Those people have not gone away, they’ve just fallen into deeper levels of hunger, suffering, despair...and invisibility

I want you to donate your income all of it to a charity like the president does no. You need to set a good example like the president.

I'm not invisible, I'm asking nearly every large donor or campaign I see for a cash deposit. I encourage everybody to do the same. We don't have time to wait for a bipartisan stimulus, we need the money that's circulating for elections.

Very sad and sometimes brought on by the uncaring policies of this administration.

And the Republicans don’t care and Pelosi and the Democrats playing politics at the expense of these people.

TY yet we only ever talk about helping the newly unemployed from Covid. I bet those who got the $600/week UI never thought much about those not eligible...divide and conquer. UBI for everyone. Tax it back from those who don't need it.

Worthless democrats should stop holding the relief package hostage!

This is what Americans should be united on and demand from the government. Unfortunately we are caught in needless culture wars. It was only Andrew Yang that understood this for me.

If a family can’t afford a $400 expense and are hungry, then they are horrible with money/budgeting because people below a certain level of income get food stamps... It’s funny how the narrative started with 63% can’t afford $1000 dollar expense, now it’s 40% $400🙄🙄
