114,600,000 US citizens make under 50K a year [View all]

(I googled to get the number)

x $2K a month for 12 months comes out to roughly 2T (my son did the math)

How much easier would this have been..

Many Mom & Pop businesses don't make 50K a year..

This would have been waaaay cheaper than what we've done, and there would be breathing room without so many desperate people.

People would be able to have a cushion for a year..could shelter in place

They have to keep the donors happy or tv and Kochland will turn on them. Hermit-The-Prog Apr 2020 #3

I agree. But it's closer to $3T: 114,600 times 2,000 times 12 equals 2,750,400,000. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #2

you'd still need tons of business assistance of one kind or another Amishman Apr 2020 #4
