The COVID-19 emergency has had a devastating impact on our economy and there is growing support for a second stimulus payment to help ease the financial burden many Americans are facing.

Over the last few weeks, several members of Congress have proposed new stimulus measures that would provide additional financial relief to struggling Americans. These include proposals that would provide a $2,000 monthly payment during the crisis and a $1,000 payment for a year afterward, another that would provide $2,000 per month for up to a year, and a proposal that would cancel rent and mortgage payments.

Today, Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA), along with Senators Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Ed Markey (D-MA), will introduce the Monthly Economic Crisis Support Act, a rebate program that would provide monthly stimulus payments to eligible recipients. A draft of the bill has been provided to Politico.

Eligible individuals would receive $2,000 per month ($4,000 per month for married filing jointly), plus an additional $2,000 per month for each qualified dependent, up to a maximum of three dependents.

And THIS is why people need to vote. If we had the Senate we could get this, I get Trump would even go along with it.

Won't pass but I could see it being used for negotiating.

"Okay fine, you're right, 2k a month is a little much. How about one more payment of 2k to everybody so they can all get caught up on things now that we're reopening?"

they're not giving people $10k a month and $120k for a year. if there's another stimulus it'll be the same as what we had. definitely not monthly.

The 1200 happened. I'm sure you guys said the same thing about that.

Though I don't think 2k would happen. Less.

Wouldn't that cause inflation? Thought it would at least come from the 1% or something but if they printing more money that wont end well.
