1,000, bux a month until deaths go to 100 per state or below and give it evenly to every person residing in America.

Begin with a claw back the ppp loans from trump and big corporations that didn't need it.

Remember our government controls the money and the market.

We can afford it if we tax the rich at the rate they were once taxed in 1970s tax them on everything they own and what they "earn". And capital gains.
Add in inheritance tax for properties 1 million and above,and a capital gains tax and remove the social security cap..

Add in inflation to translate to the value of what things cost today, and the deficit from paying everyone 1000 bux will go pouf.

We would have plenty for single payer too,after that.
