After months of failed negotiations, Congress finally reached a deal over the weekend on a stimulus package.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said, We can finally report what our nation has needed to hear for a very long time – more help is on the way.
The $900 billion package is expected to include $300 billion for small businesses, $300 in additional weekly unemployment aid, and a $600 stimulus check to millions of Americans. That s half of what the government sent out back in the spring. The earliest people could see those checks is January. After a long and arduous year, after a year full of bad news, finally we have some good news to deliver to the American people, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said.
