Subject: Expanding Wealth Redistribution by Hiking Stimulus Check Payouts from $600 to $2,000
Description: The Caring for Americans with Supplemental Help Act, sponsored by Rep. Neal (D-MA), would expand wealth redistribution by increasing stimulus check payouts (the $2.3 trillion spending package) from $600 to $2,000. As a result, every individual and each of their dependents earning up to $75,000 ($150,000 per couple) would be provided $2,000. Even individuals earning up to $87,000 ($174,000 per couple) would receive cash welfare, albeit in smaller checks. ACU supports the right of Americans to manage their own risks related to illnesses and believes many of government's reactions to COVID-19 have done more harm than good. ACU opposes utilizing the pandemic as an excuse to grow government and redistribute wealth via "stimulus" which will only further grow the nation's $27 trillion national debt.
Result: Agreed to, 275-134
