CoL differs significantly within states and across the country.
There should be a base plus CoL adjustment adjusted annually to account for inflation or deflation. A flat standard amount for anything does not make sense given the CoL disparities. 60,000 dollars is good for someone in Ukiah CA or Huntsville AL, but not for someone in NYC or Burbank, CA.
Reminds me of lots of things kicking in at $10Gs. A figure that was set in the '70s and has not been revisited since.

Sanders knows it won't pass in this corrupt senate, but possibly a future one may take this seed of an idea and make something workable.
