House Passes $8.3 Billion Bill To Fight Coronavirus by SoluB: 8:01am On Mar 05, 2020 |
The House Wednesday, in a bipartisan 415-2 vote, passed a more than $8 billion spending package for emergency COVID-19 coronavirus funding. Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) announced the move and funding in a press release, explaining that it’s not a political matter—but a public safety concern. “This should not be about politics; this is about doing our job to protect the American people from a potential pandemic,” said Shelby in a statement. “We worked together to craft an aggressive and comprehensive response that provides the resources the experts say they need to combat this crisis. I thank my colleagues for their cooperation and appreciate President Trump’s eagerness to sign this legislation and get the funding out the door without delay.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) noted that “Americans urgently need a coordinated, fully-funded, whole-of-government response to keep us safe from the widening coronavirus epidemic,” while adding that $3 billion is being spent on the development of treatments, $300 million will be used to provide a free vaccine, $2.2 billion will be used on “public funding and prevention,” and other measures. https://www.usaglobalnews.com/2020/03/house-passes-83-billion-bill-to-fight.html |

Osetigo...see opportunity! This country...I won't curse you again. I blame the stupid youths that supports any politician. Whether PDP or APC, all na the same. The only politician I can support right now is Peter Obi...even though he might be corrupt too but he has proven he can deliver. |
