Biden's Going to 'Lift 12M Americans Out of Poverty and Cut Child Poverty in Half'

President-($)elect Joe Biden on Thursday night announced his American Rescue Plan, which he said "will tackle the pandemic and get direct financial assistance and relief to Americans who need it the most."

The plan comes with a big price tag ($1.9 trillion) and lofty promises, as Biden described:

Direct cash payments, extended unemployment insurance, rent relief, food assistance, keeping essential frontline workers on the job, aid to small businesses. These are the key elements to the American Rescue Plan that would lift 12 million Americans out of poverty and cut child poverty in half. That's 5 million children lifted out of poverty if we move.

Our plan will reduce poverty in the black community by one-third. It will reduce poverty in the Hispanic community by almost 40 percent and it includes much more, like an increase in the minimum wage to at least $15 an hour. People tell me that's going to be hard to pass. Florida just passed it. As divided as that state is, they just passed it. The rest of the country is ready to move as well.

It should be a national minimum wage of $15 an hour. No one working 40 hours a week should live below the poverty line. That's what it means. If you work for less than $15 an hour and work 40 hours a week, you're living in poverty. It includes access to affordable childcare that will enable parents, particularly women, to get back to work.

Piece of cake if you simultaneously un-lift 100 million Americans from the middle class to the lower class.

He is also going to bail out the fiscally irresponsible blue states and cities. It’s time for the payola.

That's an awfully negative way to look at this. just like the vaccine, sure there's side effects. Sure some will die. So, yeah, a lot of people will lose all of what they worked hard for all of their lives but think of the boon to the illegal aliens receive when they get housing, medical attention, probably cell phone and food stamps at your generosity. Doesn't that warm your heart?
