Okay…here we go. As I’ve said, this site is NOT designed for extended debate. It’s for rallying people who agree (at least mostly agree) on a given issue to TAKE ACTION. If you have 180 degree contrary views, this is not your site. IF you want to tweak, add to these thoughts, fine; BUT, the main aim here is to encourage you to take action, and to help make action ideas go viral. So, below is what I just sent to my two Senators and US Rep. If you essentially agree with it, PLEASE share it everywhere and SEND to your Congress people.
Let’s get the enhanced Covid relief bill off square one, fast. We need it. So, a SMART and FAIR compromise would be to “give” the GOP a “scaled” one-time extra, on top of the $600 that just came. Go for $1400 more for nationwide average income (approx $50K/year?) and BELOW, but scale it down by some formula so that >$150K families get nothing…or >$175K…whatever, but certainly higher than >$200K families do NOT need it. SMART politics. FAIR to the people. Common Sense for the Common Wealth of OUR democratic republic.
