More Stimulus Money Is On The Way

Senate Republicans presented an outline for another stimulus package to help businesses, schools, health care facilities and everyday Americans amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The fourth stimulus package proposed by the Congress calls for more forgiveness loans for small business and federal unemployment insurance at $200 per week instead of $600 per week. Money to help schools reopen, personal protection gear for healthcare workers and a moratorium on outstanding evictions among other types of aid. A second round of stimulus checks would put $1,200 into the hands of more than 150 million Americans.

We are so glad the fourth stimulus bill is working in Congress for those people and businesses that need it the most. Not many countries in the world can do something like this, but this kind of economic aid is not the final resolution.

Up until this date there are sixteen million, four hundred thousand confirmed cases in the world of the coronavirus and six hundred and fifty thousand people have lost their lives. In America alone, we have had one hundred and fifty thousand deaths. This is more than double what we had originally estimated.

After almost five months now, we think the federal government needs to take more dramatic measures to coordinate with local governments and let the medical professionals take over the stage. They are the ones who can make the right decisions -- not the politicians.

President Trump will be in west Texas today to meet with his supporters. We really want him to visit the U.S.-Mexico border towns to witness how the local poor people are suffering now.
