Most forms of means testing ignore the facts: 1. Simple income caps ignore cost of living differences in city/state 2. Even pre-COVID, 40% of Americans didn’t have $400 in savings. Poverty levels are far outdated, not good way to tell who needs help. https://t.co/i48bQAR3vK — PolitiTweet.org

3. Most forms of means testing put in place arbitrary fiscal cliffs, add huge complexity that requires big administrative costs & erects barriers for neediest. 4. Universal programs—or simple means testing like 7% of income cap on childcare—are simple & universal. — PolitiTweet.org
