No, I’m describing $2k/month for everyone, but I’d be satisfied if the unemployed automatically qualified. I don’t care if a few who don’t really need it get it as long as everyone who does does.
- bdcravens 7y agoAs written, someone who exceeded the income guidelines won't, regardless of how they lost their job. Then again, that gets into a question of need, with the assumption being that high-income earners have savings as a product of that income.
- pmiller2 7y agoThat’s correct. I would rather have the means tests eliminated. $130k is roughly a 90th percentile individual income. Just give it to everyone without means testing, and you pay out to ~10% more people, but guarantee that literally everyone who needs it gets it. I don’t care if people who don’t need it also get it.
- bdcravens 7y agoI suspect there's a number of families out there where one person makes over $130k, but makes less than $260k as a couple (so they'll still qualify).
