i agree, with the caveat that anyone currently unemployed should be eligible

i am still working, I dont need the stimulus check I already got and I certainly dont need $2000 extra dollars a month

It's cute you think McConnell will even acknowledge this instead of just letting it die on his desk like everything else the House passes.

US citizens who are 16 or older and make less than $130,000 a year would receive cash payments from the federal government for at least six months and until unemployment falls to pre-pandemic levels.

Didn't expect to see 16-17 y/o be a part of this. Interesting to see if it can pass

It won't. At the very least, they're not going to set the timeline at "when unemployment goes back to being the lowest it's ever been in the country's history". Which probably isn't going to happen for another decade given how many places are going out of business over the shutdown.

This is just pointless posturing by the very same people that laughed Yang out of the room over Ubi.

Why do 16-17 years olds need the money unless they are in a bad situation where they are orphaned or something?

should be lower. maybe 1k to all per month for the income limit. 2k is overkill.

My guess is 2k and including 16 year olds were negotiating tactics

"Okay fine, how about 1k and only 18+"

None of it is going to happen. This is just a bunch of politicians during an election year throwing out crap they know will never pass so that they can use it as advertising fodder in the fall.
