We could lift over 3 million people out of poverty by reforming SSI through the SSI Restoration Act...a magnitude similar to what the ARPA TC expansion did for kids. And at less than half the cost (if you care about "targeting").
Please. 🙏 I’m on SSI. Seriously passing that would mean I could be independent again. It would mean so incredibly much. Like not worrying so much about being automatically homeless when my folks die.
this was one of my first portfolio issues back at Prosperity Now in 2010. sad there hasn't been much progress but it does feel like momentum is building
