Stimulus bill is crucial to tackling the hunger crisis
Since taking office President Joe Biden has made clear that he wants a long-term plan to return the economy to its pre-pandemic levels, but accepts that there is a more immediate priority for millions of Americans. Recent studies showed that over 27 million Americans have struggled to put food on the table during the pandemic, with childhood poverty also on the rise
The Biden administration hopes that the stimulus check, unemployment benefits and improved child tax credits included in his American Rescue Plan will help turn the tide for those who are suffering. The third stimulus checks will be particularly important and lawmakers hope to have them signed into law in the first half of March. This would provide up to $1,400 per person for low income families.
“This would be a non issue if the United States Government followed other countries with their newly enacted “Basic Minimum Income, regardless of income status:, plans already in place in the UK and Germany.”
