Not a single Republican voted for the $1.9 trillion stimulus, dubbed the American Rescue Plan.
Think about that later this month when your relief deposits show up in your bank accounts, or your checks arrive in the mail.
Think about it as you apply that money to cover rent or a mortgage, bills that have been mounting or to groceries as you worried about the future while coronavirus slowed earning all around you.
On Thursday, President Joe Biden signed into law the sweeping $1.9 trillion package of relief and stimulus, delivering on his stated goal to move quickly and boldly in bringing aid to a nation hammered by the coronavirus pandemic.
The package authorizes $1,400 checks to millions of low- and middle-income Americans, bolsters families by providing new child tax benefits, extends unemployment payments for workers still out of a job, pays for vaccines and authorizes additional programs aimed at shepherding a swift, equal recovery to one of the worst economic crises in a generation.
