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.

The rule of opposites—poverty will double.

Move to a low cost area and slash your expenses if at all possible.

This is gonna get ugly....

With a wave of his hand he will cure all of us! Praise be to the great Biden! One snort from his nostrils will part the seas, and stop global change, er... Climate Warming, yeah! That’s the ticket!

The left is going to need a real religious miracle, if they expect anything other than bumbling calamity and precipitous social, economic, and political decline from ol’ Creepy Joe!

If you are worried about what the mass media thinks or says, you really need to move to North Korea.

They _always_ tell the truth, citizen!

Wow, $15 an hour is about $30,000/year for full time job.
If this is a living wage, then the Social Security should also be a living wage. We old folks deserve that!
$2,500 a month!
The average social security monthly payment is only $1,503 as of today.
We need Living SS!
Unfortunately the gov is broke and cannot afford that. But how can private employers afford that?
