(CBN News) Just in time for Christmas, Congress is passing a massive COVID-19 relief bill today. But with lockdowns devastating our economy, is it too little, too late?
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.
