Interest rates on federal debt are currently lower than the expected rate of inflation, so there's no good reason for restraint in the total size of the package. Spend freely on testing, treatments, and vaccines. Be generous with state/local/biz aid. AND help the jobless. https://t.co/IWabgXqBJa — PolitiTweet.org

It doesn't make a ton of sense to debate the micro-details of bonus UI detached from discussing the overall size of the package. $600/week isn't sacrosanct, if you wanted to do $450/week and put money into something else that could be fine. But GOP wants to spend too little. — PolitiTweet.org

We're up against a lot of hard constraints because of the virus. But the federal government is facing almost no budget constraint — don't make "lack of money" be a reason not to do things that could help people or ameliorate the virus itself. — PolitiTweet.org
