Trump Proposes $1 Trillion Coronavirus Package
- Executive
By: Ted Patterson
In Brief:
As the threat of Coronavirus grows daily, President Trump is proposing an economic rescue bill that could top $1 trillion.
The Background:
The AP reports:
In a massive federal effort, President Donald Trump asked Congress to speed emergency checks to Americans, enlisted the military for MASH-like hospitals and implored ordinary people — particularly socially active millennials — to do their part by staying home to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
His proposed economic package alone could approach $1 trillion, a rescue initiative not seen since the Great Recession. Trump wants checks sent to the public within two weeks and is urging Congress to pass the eye-popping stimulus package in a matter of days.
Why It Matters:
Liberal policies are dividing our country, literally.
Notable Quotes:
“This is a very unique situation. We’ve put a proposal on that table that would attract a trillion dollars into the economy.”
- Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin
