Peter Meijer Proposes $2,400 Stimulus Checks under ‘DOGE’ Plan – By Brendan Cole (Newsweek) / Mar 5 2021
Republican congressman Peter Meijer has said that the American Rescue Plan is full of waste and has touted his own proposal to cut the price tag of the stimulus package in half while increasing payments to individuals.
The Michigan freshman representative has been pushing his own alternative to the $1.9.trillion relief package with his alternative Direct Dollars Over Government Excess, called the $DOGE Plan.
He told Fox Business that his proposal, whose title is a nod to the meme turned cryptocurrency, would put more money in the pockets of Americans and give less to individual states.
Previously describing the bill currently being haggled over by the Senate as an “institutional abomination” he said Congress is not prioritizing vaccine delivery, COVID testing and getting children back to school.
