Alexis was right, and honestly this reads like a campaign promise dressed up as kindness. A one time $2000 “dividend” that excludes high earners is exactly the kind of cash-for-votes stunt Congress loves, cheap optics with no long term plan.
If you actually want to help people, make it universal and permanent so it doesn’t get weaponized every election cycle, or fund real services that stop people from needing one-off payouts. Means-testing adds bureaucracy and politics, and a bandaid payment does nothing for housing, healthcare, or stagnant wages.
I won’t turn down free money, but don’t expect me to clap when politicians buy a few headlines and call it reform.
