What we know so far about the latest bill:

- $1200 in cash to those making up to $75K, $2400 for couples up to $150k, $500 for kids
- Increased unemployment benefits timeline
- $350 million in small business loans/direct $$ for those who maintain payroll
- $500B in aid to corps—with Congressional oversight
- $100B in assistance to hospitals
- $150B to state/local govts
- $250m in tax credits for paid leave
- $400m in election grants
- $1B for Defense Production Act
- $45B in disaster relief for local govts/tribes
Concerns:

- No word on universal and monthly cash assistance
- No word on coverage for all testing/treatment for coronavirus
- No word on eviction/foreclosure protections
- No word on a ban on stock buybacks/bonuses
- No word on student debt, mortgage and rent relief
Takeaway: It includes some major progressive asks, but missing other critical measures that deliver relief to our vulnerable communities.

I will continue to share my thinking on the bill as I learn more!
