You want to stimulate the economy? Give $2k/mo till the pandemic ends, retroactively and 3 months past when it’s over, pass #MedicareForAll, #CancelStudentDebt and #RaiseMinimumWage. This country would soar.

Inflation would soar.

So much cynicism in these replies. 😯 I’m not sure who it helps. I’m interested to see how well we do with the stimulus that the senate is going to pass. I only wish the #FightFor15 was a part of it. Americans need to get back to work and be paid well enough to live healthy.

So you’d like to give every family almost $60K while also crushing the market and 401K’s. Where would this money come from? And the wrong answer is, “well they had enough to give to Wall Street”.

Which economy? Cancelling debt, raising minimum wage, and otherwise increasing worker security would benefit the real, productive economy, which is not the one our politicians are beholden to. Non-productive, finance capitalists don't benefit from such measures.

That would literally brings poverty to an end nationwide and would ultimately pay for itself in increased production and tax revenue and huge drops in healthcare costs and other needless suffering
Democratic Party, prepare yourselves to lose the MOST seats ever in 2022. @VPKamalaHarris with one vote, can lift up millions of underpaid workers but to allow this to die by Parlamentarian advisement, will reverberate for years. And we have been waiting since Nov for the 2000.

Just do #UBI (Universal Basic Income), temporary measure until we can move to a #ResourceBasedEconomy (or #GiftEconomy).

What a wise and wonderful plan Marianne. It makes perfect sense. We are not accustomed to seeing our people's needs being met. The money is there..our tax money is to be used to help our citizens have a good life. Shelter, good food, health, heat, safe water, clothing etc.
