Round 2. $1200 checks again
Lets hope the Senate passes most of it. Mcconnell being the man that he is has said concerns for the deficit etc he isnt sure the US needs round 2.
White House is rumored to support 2nd round of checks. But to meet with Senate GOP leaders on adjustments.
"""If this stimulus package becomes law, it would insert an additional $3 trillion into the economy in the ongoing effort to address the outstanding concerns and needs of those most impacted by the pandemic. It would also help to fill state, local and tribal government budget shortfalls.

The White House would likely support another round of stimulus checks, two senior administration officials told CNBC on Thursday.
The White House did not provide further comment except to release a statement which said:
"As President Trump has said, we are going to ensure that we take care of all Americans so that we emerge from this challenge healthy, stronger, and with economic prosperity, which is why the White House is focused on pro-growth, middle class tax and regulatory relief."

Key aspects of The Heroes Act:
- $200 billion for essential workers to get hazard pay.
- $1 trillion for state, local and tribal governments to help pay “vital workers like first responders, health workers, and teachers” who could be on verge of losing their jobs. Here’s a breakdown of estimated allocations the states and territories would receive.
- A second stimulus check for Americans in the amount of $1,200 (this would be a one-time payment as with the first stimulus check). However, instead of $500 for children, families would get $1,200 for each household member up to a max of $6,000.
- $175 billion in housing assistance to help renters and homeowners with rent, mortgage and utility payments.
- $75 billion for coronavirus testing, tracing and isolation efforts.
- An extension of the COVID-19 unemployment program providing that the extra $600 per week benefit would last until January 2021 instead of expiring in July 2020 as it currently stands."""
