Senator Manchin will try to block more immediate aid
dimanche 10 janvier 2021 à 01:00Senator Manchin, a Democrat whose views are similar to Republicans of 2015, will try to block giving Americans in general more immediate aid.
He's probably right that some of that money will go to Americans who did not lose income. But that is quibbling. Nearly all will go to Americans who are poor and need aid -- because the amount tapers off as the person's past income increases. For most of them, $2000 won't be enough.
Manchin puts more weight on small chance of giving some low-income American a little more than was supposedly intended for right now, than on the certainty of giving millions too little. These are the priorities of a plutocratist.
