@JamesSurowiecki I will send you what I find and agree on the importance of being precise. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@besttrousers I have never said that there are no arguments against monthly checks. I presented my view of why I think they were still needed for a few months. I disagreed with his framing of “no economic argument.” Sanders and I had the same thing on the Stop Bezos Act. It worked. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@JamesSurowiecki I think that is a nuance worth pointing out. Will be posting the facts on what other countries have done for people and how our safety net policies have compared. Appreciate the back and forth. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Perhaps our politics would be better if we recognized the complexity of argument & did not present viewpoints on economics with glib certitude. The irony is that I learned the value of a rational exchange and intellectual humility at Univ of Chicago where I studied economics. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@JamesSurowiecki I am having CRS look into this. I was told that other countries have been providing monthly payments to the working and middle class. But I want to understand what exactly they are providing as part of the safety net so can be fully accurate. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @DebHaalandNM, who just made history as the first Native cabinet member. Her confirmation is an important & long overdue step. I know she will continue to be a fierce defender of our public lands and climate as Secretary of Interior. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, student loan forgiveness is now tax-free. Now we can #CancelStudentDebt for the millions of working class and middle class Americans who are crushed under over $1.5 trillion in debt—without the burden of another tax bill. Let’s make it happen. — PolitiTweet.org

About 1/2 of gun sales today bypass background checks through the “private sale” loophole. We need universal background checks. The Senate must pass #HR8. https://t.co/veJmPZFvbE — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@ModeledBehavior The call for monthly checks is one Harris, Sanders, Ryan made to working and middle class during the crisis. This is not a call for an indefinite UBI. Many nations as you know have done it and it’s to acknowledge back rent, loans, and suffering people face. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@mattyglesias I have been on cable and in the papers touting ARP as transformative in cutting child poverty in half. That does not mean we should stop pushing for monthly checks during the crisis for back rent and given the suffering as Sanders, Harris, Ryan and I all called for. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@wwwojtekk @ne0liberal Your points are thoughtful critiques. I believe the rational exchange of ideas is the best hope for democracy and perhaps more sorely needed now than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@wwwojtekk The checks would end when we are out of crisis and if economy starts to boom. Many have suffered and lost and natural disasters are the time that government is supposed to step in. This is very different than a permanent UBI which is $4 trillion a year. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

@wwwojtekk Tim Ryan and my bill is focused on the working class and middle class. It also is about doing it for a period of months until we get out of this crisis. It is not indefinite. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

A one-time $1,400 check is simply not enough to pay the bills. We’re one year into this pandemic, and many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Let’s pass $2k monthly checks. — PolitiTweet.org

Ro Khanna @RoKhanna

If we want to truly reform our democracy and ensure every American’s voice is heard, we must pass #HR1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. And to do that, we must abolish the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org
