Why this petition matters

Started by Frank Summers

Petition to have Congress Pass and the President Sign a Law to provide recurring income stimulus payments,  These payments will be triggered by a set of economic indicators including labor force participation, unemployment, indicia of  fiscal crises
 and natural disasters and pandemics. 

These payments would  take precedence over other forms of relief and would be paid for in part by a set of disciplines and balances which specifically  would hep people to be as productive as possible.  The current debate by various political parties and factions does not address the potential for good available from continued stimulus because too much relief is not focused on really stimulating recovery, Payments of $1,200 to $2,000 to all Americans would be allowed to have the maximum free economic input which can strengthen the country. But the rest of the  relief program would be more coordinated for a more efficient path to overall recovery.

 
I want some more stimulus money to get through the pandemic. Do you?  I have been working since I was very small and paying Social Security and income taxes since before I was 18. I have suffered disinvestment in communities, regions and traditions that matter to me. The only mills in my town are closed, hurricanes ravage our devastated coast. Healthcare is largely out of reach and the government creates problems and blames people like me for them. I belong to a tradition of struggle, it may not be your tradition but all the traditions and regions need a voice in making America work for work.  

I am not expecting much. My expectations for almost everything in my country and government have gotten low. Have yours?

But help prove me wrong. Help me make a change. I am getting older and the losses mount, I would like a little comfort and security but also a better America than I have struggled in for a long time. 

Signing this petition does not mean one does not support Congress passing some version of the Stephanie Bonin's popular petition for recurring stimulus checks quickly. 

But I urge Congress to issue a new stimulus check and  direct the money with four elements or laws combined in a single statute.

1 A stimulus check now and recurring based on economic triggers.

2. Expanded unemployment would start in a crisis and then once a standard term is used the recipients would be entitled to double their earned income tax credit and child tax credits.

3. Medicaid and Medicare would fund a temporary base plan for one year and sell either COBRA payments keeping old health insurance or a simple plan for one year   which cannot exceed fifteen percent of one's wages and earnings from any employments that does not offer health insurance.

4. Landlords and Employers would receive a tax credit for every worker or renter secured and a higher one for every worker with a better job after a crisis.
