“So let's look over the four things. Number one, the Progressive Caucus is in there pitching hard for education; two, for aid to the States; three, for homeownership; four, health care. The Progressive Caucus is fighting for America's people. I'm so proud of the leadership that you and Congressman Grijalva offer to us. Let me also add on this health care front, the pandemic food preparedness. That's a serious health care issue, and the House version included $900 million for food and the original Senate proposal only had $870 million. That could be a big difference for people who really need the help. I also want to just add on a few other items if I may. You mentioned the neighborhood stabilization program, very important program, and I want to mention that which I believe was the third item that we asked for in the Progressive Caucus letter. The neighborhood stabilization program helps local communities say that, look, if you have a bunch of foreclosures on a block, we're going to try to go in there and do something with that abandoned house because you know that if you have never missed a payment on your mortgage, you upkeep your property, you do a great job with your house, the second you get a foreclosed property next to you, your property value has just dropped.”
