Virus bill

The virus bills proposed by congress come in three stages. The first stage was $8 billion and passed quickly in both houses and was signed by Trump. The second phase is $100 billion was also signed by Trump. The senate is now debating the third phase which is one trillion dollars. This phase includes: $250 billion going directly to people $350 billion to small business 39 weeks of unemployment compensation $242 billion to safety nets like food stamps and $110 of that to hospitals $208 billion to big companies which will have to be repaid Debate is OK but if it turns into squabbling it will make the senate look like business as usual.
