🚨NEW🚨: @RepJayapal and I have reintroduced the #ABCAct! It would provide a $2K payment to *every* person in America as critical relief during the #COVID19 crisis, followed by $1K *recurring* monthly payments through one year after the end of the crisis.

Replying to @RepRashida
It also creates a program of emergency responder corps to be deployed to vulnerable communities like #13thDistrictStrong to ensure their access to the direct payments and other needed resources.

This is the legislation our neighbors need and deserve:

The #ABCAct is cosponsored by nine of our colleagues and endorsed by over ten organizations who have helped us champion recurring, aggressive, and inclusive financial assistance from our federal government during the #COVID19 crisis. Thank you all!

1. That would never pass the Senate . . .

[Elessar Zappa]

2. Good idea, but it won't pass.

I think we’d only get half our caucus to vote for this bill.

[marie999]

3. I wonder what Jeff Beloz will buy with his $2,000.

[NancyBlueINOklahoma]

5. Every person or every adult?

Even if it is every adult that is just way over the top.
Directing to the needy... that's OK with me but this plan is not feasible. Wouldn't pass anyway, so it's almost seeming like a stunt.

[Budi]

6. Popular red meat. What's the rest of their 'How This Works', plan

Details of rolling out such a cool plan would be interesting.

Where's the full policy plan that convinces the legislators?
Unless they have such a detailed plan in hand, its simpy another version of 'free stuff' while leaving the How To up to someone else.

Lay it all out there already.

7. It Would Have My Support

We should filter it to eliminate very wealthy people getting it. I believe most or all of the Scandinavian Nations do something similar.

Once we get back on our feet we could eliminate this or greatly reduce it.

9. This is the thing the former guy should have done from the beginning

As soon as shutdowns became a thing. But nope, gave the money to Wall Street

[TheBlackAdder]

8. That $2,000 might cover my IRS shortfall due to the Trump "Tax Cut"!

[Midnight Writer]

10. Good deal. Put it out there and get people thinking about it.

It may not pass today, tomorrow, or the next day.

But this will appeal to a lot of people, get them thinking about it, and that is how a movement begins.
