As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps across the country, Utah senator Mitt Romney has proposed a plan that would help offset the financial burden the outbreak has created.
Romney released a statement on Monday urging the United States government to give every citizen $1,000 during this period of the social distancing.
“Every American adult should immediately receive $1,000 to help ensure families and workers can meet their short-term obligations and increase spending in the economy,” the press release reads per BuzzFeed.
This proposal is similar to entrepreneur Andrew Yang’s Democratic presidential campaign. Before dropping out of the race, Yang proposed that Americans should receive $1,000 a month to help boost the economy.
With the stock market dropping to new lows, this social isolation couldn’t have come at a worse time for the country.
Yang sent out tweets on Monday that doubled down on the necessity of his campaign promise.
