Congress approves $900B in stimulus spending along with $1.4T "omnibus" spending
Stimulus includes:
- $166B for direct payments, with $600 to everyone making under $75k and another $600 per child
- $120B unemployment aid, people will get $300/week through March 14
- $325B for small business, expected to cover 3 months of payroll
- Two year tax break for business meals which the article says was "a priority for President Donald Trump"
- $45B for transit (airlines, mass transit, state highways)
- $69B for vaccines, testing, tracing
- Grab bag of interest group spending, eg. $1.3B loan forgivness for black colleges, military gets 3% pay raise
I'm not really sure what the "omnibus" bill contains, I think it's just the regular budget they pass every year.
