The new package of economic stimulus measures is intended to support small businesses, the unemployed and families with children.
US President Joe Biden signed a new $ 1.9 trillion stimulus package amid a pandemic. About it informs press office of the White House on Thursday, March 11.
“This afternoon, I’m signing the American bailout plan, a historic law that will turn the page of this pandemic and kickstart our economy,” Biden said.
The $ 1.9 trillion aid package will go towards building up the national vaccination program, safe school openings, small business support, a $ 400 weekly federal unemployment bonus and up to $ 3.6 thousand child benefits.
In addition, in the plan to rescue Biden’s economy, it is provided that families with two children and an annual income in the region of $ 100 thousand will be able to receive a check in the amount of $ 5.6 thousand. Also, Americans will receive a one-time payment of $ 1,400.
At the same time, GOP officials have argued for a cut in aid from $ 1.9 trillion to $ 600 billion, arguing that a significant chunk of the money will go towards solving problems unrelated to the economic recovery.
