        "as much as" "up to" (in Harris' thing) - renders this pretty meaningless

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        I worry deeply about the "as much as" and "this year". It may be far too small amounts for right now, and be far too heavily means tested. This isn't rocket science like they're making it. Give everyone a UBI now. Mortgage/rent freeze. Use taxes later to means test if they want.

        Sanders should co-sponsor the bill and work with his colleagues to get it through the Senate.

        Why? What's $4,500 spread over a year going to do if people are out of work for months? Why would you want such a gimmicky display to take place like that with Sanders and Biden?

        (nods) Given that there's now the possibility of an #EndOfApril #BonusArmy thanks to the fine print of that $1000 check, both candidates should now urge @VP Pence to have the President sign this...

        Bernie should figure out how to make Trump promise to sign it, because we don't have till bleeping January.
