Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said Monday he wants to give monthly checks to low-income and middle-class Americans so they can afford necessities during the coronavirus outbreak.
“Let’s cut out employers as the middle men and get relief to people not in weeks but in days,” Cotton wrote in a Medium post outlining his proposals for a Senate bill.
“We should send relief directly to American families most likely to be in need — those in the bottom and middle tax brackets — to pay for rent, groceries, childcare, and other necessary expenses, as well as to spend at local businesses that are hurting during this crisis.”
