We’re seeing an increasingly clear picture of what the $1.9 trillion Covid-19 stimulus package will look like — and passage of the bill is likely on the horizon quite soon.

The House of Representatives has drafted and passed its version of the budget reconciliation package, which includes $1,400 stimulus checks for those making up to $75,000 and $400 expanded weekly unemployment insurance benefits through August 29. It also contains a restaurant rescue fund, money for reopening schools, and Democrats’ long-sought-after funding for state and local governments, among other items. House Democrats included a $15 minimum wage provision in their version of the bill, but that’s a non-starter in the Senate. The Senate parliamentarian ruled that it didn’t fall within the parameters of reconciliation, and while Democrats spent some time exploring other options for including it in the bill, they’ve set it aside for now.

The biggest ticket items have been among the most contentious: Though there was some discussion of further targeting for stimulus checks, the House proposal winds up pretty close to Biden’s original plan. The $1,400 stimulus checks are for those making up to $75,000 a year, and the checks phase out at $100,000 yearly income (there has been quite a bit of back-and-forth over whether to aim them more precisely at lower-income people).

anyone know how much is going to Nancy District for new subway. I don’t understand. Mr Biden has been in Congress for many years. He knows how the process works. Why would he try to raise min wage in in America rescue plan? He is a veteran of the Congress. He knows how the process works. I only want him to do everything professional. I voted for the guy. Now I really want to kick myself in the ass. But that is the way life is. Some times everyone makes a wrong decision in life. We pay for are mistakes! I will pick myself up and keep focused on my future. I just want America normal, not great.
