Pelosi Believes That Handing Out More Money is the ‘Best Way to Stimulate Our Economy’

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a tweet yesterday that “The best thing we can do to stimulate our economy is to put money into the pockets of the American people.” She used the hashtag #FamiliesFirst to make it appear that she is looking out for American families.

In an interview that she gave with PBS, she detailed the list of things that she felt needed to be given to the families, including direct payments, unemployment insurance, and food stamps.

The best thing we can do in terms of it being a stimulus to the economy is to put money in the pockets of the American people. With direct payments, with unemployment insurance, with food stamps, they’re opposed to food stamps when people are hungry in our country.

We have some differences of opinion and that’s what we’ll negotiate, but I would hope that the great movement in our country on food insecurity to feed the hungry will catch fire in the Senate like it has in the country.

This morning she held a press conference where she used the US unemployment data to support the #HeroesAct bill that the House passed and again used the #FamiliesFirst hashtag.

She also claimed that the Trump administration didn’t use “common sense” and do enough testing, tracing, and isolation like other countries that have supposedly done better at containing the Coronavirus.

Newly-released unemployment data shows that 1-in-4 American workers have filed for unemployment during this public health crisis. Now more than ever, the Senate must pass the House-passed #HeroesAct and put #FamiliesFirst. https://t.co/ZjTB9fuvCm
