This #COVID19 proposal out of the house financial committee is really good:

- 2k/month per person every month of the crisis
- suspension of all mortgages, student loans, credit card and loan payments
- prohibit debt collection and repossession
- $5b in homeless assistance pic.twitter.com/qX5IOwHWnS

A lot of what I was advocating for. If you're going to shut down the economy for a reason like this you need to simply freeze things while providing money for food/medicine/essentials. I'm a big believer in capitalism, but this is going to punch everyone's lights out.

Tons of questions about how you restart the economy after this (the politicians are going to do everything in their power - on both sides - to screw it up because that's what they do) but you have to stop collections at all levels until this is over.
