Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) wants the federal government to approve a $14 trillion reparations measure.
Bowman is one of nine sponsors of HR 414, which aims to hold the US government accountable for slavery and the aftermath that followed.
Despite its hefty price tag, Rep. Bowman insists that it's a fair and feasible amount, citing how the US government monetarily supported Americans during the COVID pandemic."When COVID was destroying us, we invested in the American people in a way that kept the economy afloat," said Bowman, according to Fox News. "The government can invest the same way in reparations without raising taxes on anyone.""Where did the money come from?" asked Bowman. "We spent it into existence."
The proposed legislation would require the allocation of $14 trillion by the federal government towards a reparations program intended to assist former enslaved African Americans and individuals of African descent.According to census data, 12 percent of the US population is black.
