$2 Trillion
- $250 billion 1/8 of which goes to individuals...
- $350 billion just over 1/8 to small business loans...
- $250 billion 1/8 for unemployment benefits...
- $500 billion1/4 for the bigger business loans (thankfully with more protections this time...including barring congress, the administration and other top government officials barred from receiving them)
- $50 billion for airlines...(people may debate this...glad its not a bigger number...but still)
- $130 billion for hospitals (glad this is bigger than the airlines
- $150 state billion for local governments...yes definitely needed
That is all that is "detailed" in the article...$1.68 Trillion...so where is the other approximately $320 billion is the interesting question? Which pet projects of each side wins out?
Overall...that is a massive package (thats what she said)...glad they get some aid into those needing it...hoping it does not cripple us for years to come in other ways.
