Cus is kids and the recovery act, cares 4. 0. We spent an unprecedented amount of money. Of it, 3 trillion, we still have left to put in the economy and put back to work.

But we are committed that by the make sure month, before the enhanced Unemployment Insurance expires that we pass so that we can protect americans that are unemployed. Number one issue is, we have to fix the technical fix on enhanced unemployment. Going to make sure we dont pay people more money to work. Ome than go to we want to make sure people who can go to work safely can do so. Have tax credits that incentivize businesses to bring people back to work. Credits for x p. P. E. , for safe work environment. Big ere going to have incentives, money to the states for education, for schools that open safely and do education.
