THREAD: Now that he has been sworn-in, President Biden is moving forward with his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.

With a 50-50 split in the Senate & some Republicans caring about deficits (again), this is FAR from a done deal.

While the package includes a wide range of initiatives, expect the TOP priorities to be: Vaccination $$ & direct payment increase. 

Until the spread of COVID is more contained, there cannot be sustained economic recovery or return of jobs.

Once people CAN get back to work, there will likely be a surge in hiring given the significant savings increases in American households (also a result of Covid keeping us home).

That is clearly not the case for the many Americans out of work & economically insecure, which is why the stimulus booster is a way to give more financial security while we await vaccination distribution and a return to more normal life activities.
