A one-off $1,200 will not help most Americans who are about to get mowed down economically in the coronavirus recession. @SenSchumer told me on #AMJoy Saturday that Democrats are fighting for a MONTHLY cash benefit for average Americans and no no-look bailouts. Let's do that
Tell your reps and Senators what YOU think is fair. What about:
- Federally funded paid leave
- Extended unemployment benefits
- Cash grants -not loans- to small business hit by the pandemic
- No bailouts for big corps without strings: no stock buybacks, layoffs or CEO bonuses.
- Grants to states to build hospital capacity & buy the WHO test, contingent on expanding medicaid and testing the incarcerated
- Halting deportations and extending DACA to prevent moving the virus south
And if they're worried re cost-where'd they get $1.5 trillion for the banks?
