80 Hours an American Month

I propose the creation of a website or app, where creative disabled people (writers, artists, etc) who create from home (regardless of income generation) could "clock in" to show 80 hour a month productivity. 

Not everyone is hirable. Not everyone is medically cleared to return to work. And many of those people pour their passion into creative pursuits. It doesn't always generate income. 

But, if Congress fails to protect us, and my fellow disabled, unhirable, liabilities are supposed to account for 80 hours a month, then support should be offered to those who are doing the best they can to survive productively. NOT income, just a "punch clock" to stay alive in America if that horrible budget bill of death passes. 

(Homemakers, likewise, should get recognition for their efforts. How about 24/7/365 payments and tax breaks to them? Staying at home can be more work than going to a job. But the United States probably isn't ready for that, because it's a path to Universal Basic Income.)
