I could go along with matching your income from the job you were laid off of. But please tell me how a person that was making $400-600 a week working then recipes in the area of $900 a week not working is not able to pay the bills they had prior. The sob stories of people being evicted or not able to buy food do not make sense.
Do you realize the logistics that would be required - especially under current conditions - to accurately fulfill that ‘matching’? I haven’t even received my 2019 tax refund yet.
We’re in the equivalent of war, and we have to help people as soon as we can, even if mistakes are made in some situations.
I’d much rather see some money going to people in my neighborhood who are suffering, than $25 Million going to the Kennedy Center.
