President Trump signed the largest stimulus bill in American history today—the $2 trillion coronavirus relief bill

Social distancing in Congress. There was a considerable amount of back and forth about how to vote on this bill. With the House out of town this week on recess, many members were hesitant to bring everyone back to Washington for a vote. Two congressmen havefor COVID-19 and lawmakers worry bringing everyone together for a vote could cause the virus to spread in the halls of Capitol Hill.

when Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., refused to support the measure, forcing lawmakers to make a mad dash to Washington from their districts for a possible full vote Friday. Ultimately, Massie failed to get a sufficient “second” on the matter, and the House was able to pass the bill via voice vote,The coronavirus has caused unprecedented disruption to the U.S. economy. Along with record job loss, businesses all across the country have been forced to shut their doors, and travel has all but stopped.

Another big number? $600. The bill also includes a $600 weekly across-the-board increase on top of what individual states pay for unemployment benefits. The boost to unemployment benefits program will last four months. Whether additional checks will follow. Senate Democrats Cory Booker, D-N.J., Michael Bennet, D-Colo., and Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, support sending additional checks depending on changes to the unemployment rate.

Mnuchin wanted to send Americans two checks but received backlash from GOP senate leadership and abandoned the idea. The Trump administration is hoping to get the checks passed under this bill out within two weeks. However, it could take longer. In 2008, when Congress also sent money to Americans, it took two months for the checks to arrive.

Inflation 💸💸💸💸

That amount of money would make whole USA free from the oil..

Two days ago he wasn't signing ish.... Blaming Democrats for manipulation

The basic rule about keeping COVID-19 is keeping distance. This photo clearly indicates that it did not happen.

🤝

Did he have anything to say about the spending oversight?

Is Trump quarantines with only Republicans?

Today’s press conference was embarrassing with so many Officials praising Trump for “excellent”, “magnificent” “tremendous” etc job POTUS had done vs Pandemic in USA and for Economic package to help economy hit by the lockdown. No new real info on fight vs Covid19 was given

While not SocialDistanacing. Great job.

Trump is no hero, he had to sign into law the $2T stimulus package since he mismanaged and delayed the inevitable pandemic ever since last January 2020! Americans have been dying from the pandemic ever since, all b/c trump failed to understand the urgency of a health pandemic?

What about social distancing? Lead by example!

For Banks and Businesses. Probably not the People.

nearly 10% of us gdp..

What a false flag. Coronavirus isn't the cause of the collapse. It's a great excuse for the absolutely shit monetary policy, leverage, credit extensions and bailouts. What a joke.

Here’s how the money is divided up. Large Corp gets $500B cash, and small bus can apply for a loan.

Picture: old white guys in a money grab!

Don't you mean the largest 💸💸💸 heist in AMERICAN HISTORY on the WORLD STAGE no doubt for the WHOLE WORLD to see 🤣🤣 how MJ say it 🎶we been hit by, we been hit by...a SMOOTH CRIMINAL 🎶 🤣🤗 Wanna BeLikeTrumpWhenIGetBIG 😂🤗🤣

.......he said 3000 dollars is a “substantial amount of money....? Remind me how much corporations stand to gain from this...

A wealthy country!

Big bills n ground realties are two seperate planets.. It would help somewhere but will not FILL the gap.. people need now . Lock down for 3 weeks, stop spread nationwide all at once

And what’s the national debt now Record breaking! Way to go trump. You’re about to be the first president to bankrupt America. 🇺🇸

Why did he say 6.2 trillion at the press conference? Is it because it will soon grown to that number?

While ignoring safety rule 1 which is social distancing

It's so strange that it still falls so short.

¿Inflation?

Where is the US getting this $2T from? Has anyone stopped to think about this?

¿Yay?

Great

Let's see how much he lines his pockets with. The next impeachment trial will be the misappropriation of funds to his family and his own businesses. This is a guarantee..

Who benefits from it?

Will it Saves lives ?
