The coronavirus stimulus checks helped many Americans ease some of their financial strain during the pandemic. But one expert thinks the government still needs to cough up more money to provide adequate relief.
The amount isn't substantial enough to supplement the average American household’s monthly net pay of $3,000, Edelman said, and that’s not including paying for living expenses or necessities like food and medicine. At the cross-hairs of this battle is Congress and Edelman places blame squarely at its feet. He criticized Congress for “dilly-dallying” and failing to get money into the hands of Americans who are in financial jeopardy.“Congress is acting way too slow, way too stingy,” he said, noting politicians are too focused on “who is responsible for this mess as opposed to dealing with the fact that we have a mess that has to be dealt with.
Edelman said a day of reckoning will eventually come and U.S. voters will “demand quicker action, more meaningful action.”
