Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday expressed openness to a minimum guaranteed income to help keep people hit by the coronavirus shutdowns financially afloat.

Pelosi said during an interview on MSNBC that she thinks the financial aid established by the coronavirus relief package enacted into law last month should be extended in some form.

"Well, I think we should extend the time, I really do. I always thought that was too short a time. I think we should extend the time," Pelosi told MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle.
quote:

The law created a small-business loan program, known as the Paycheck Protection Program, as well as authorizing one-time direct payments to individuals of up to $1,200.

Individuals who make up to $75,000 annually are eligible for a $1,200 payment, while those making up to $99,000 can receive a prorated amount. Families are also eligible for an additional $500 per dependent child. The IRS began issuing the payments earlier this month.
quote:

Some Democrats, meanwhile, have offered proposals to cover wages or expand individual payments. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) has introduced a bill to cover wages for workers earning salaries of up to $100,000 and cover essential business expenses such as rent, while Reps. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) have called for ensuring that adults making less than $130,000 annually would receive at least $2,000 per month.

Or... it may not. It will NEVER be 'worthy of attention', unless the only attention you give it is to say "yeah, that's a stupid idea."

Can you conservative retards not see opportunity when one arises. We already have minimum guaranteed income JUST NOT FOR YOU. This would disproportionately help our people.



Amen. Rip all these stupid fricking programs out and implement UBI. Past UBI, you are on your fricking own.

The only possible way UBI can work is if EVERYONE gets it. From Bill Gates to the homeless guy under the bridge.

The second the Dems mean test it, it is nothing but massive wealth redistribution and will fail miserably.

But that’s probably what they want.

Wasn't one of them also saying all essential workers should get $25,000 each?

Anyone who didn't see this coming simply hasn't been paying attention.
