Even though the House narrowly passed the Democrats' $1.9 trillion COVID relief bill, freshman Congressman Peter Meijer (R-MI) has an alternative plan that would put more cash directly in Americans' hands while also slashing the total cost of the bill.
According to Meijer, passing the House's version of President Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan doesn't mean much considering Senate parliamentarian ruled the bill, which includes a $15 minimum wage increase, falls outside of the budget reconciliation process. Because of that, he sees it as an opportunity to cut out wasteful pork spending and nearly double the direct cash payment amount Americans receive.
