The payments to individuals in the CARES act cost an estimated $300 billion.
If that payment was maintained for 6 months, that would still cost less than $2 trillion which was the cost of the CARES act.
I think the Biden campaign should make these payments a theme in their next ads and podcasts.
In addition to calling for more tests, the campaign should call for making these payments a monthly thing for the next few months.
It is not only good policy, it is good politics.
