@RashidaTlaib proposed in her bill---give Americans a replenish-able debit card w/ $2,000 a month that gets refilled every month for as long as crisis goes on. Simple and most effective. We print money for war and tax cuts for the rich...now time to print it for the peopleShow this thread

Right, but he said the $1 trillion was "critical"---it's critically stupid because it will be diverted to donors and other corporate interests.
