The EU Chamber of Deputies approves a package of 1.9 trillion dollars to deal with the COVID-19 crisis

The Chamber of Representatives approves this Saturday in madrugada a new rescue to make way for the economic devastation provoked by the pandemic for a value of 1.9 trillion dollars.

The project was approved with 219 votes in favor – all Democrats – and 212 against Republicans one more block in the Democratic Minutes after 02:00 on Saturday (07:00 GMT).

With the support of the Cámara Baja, the project will now take place in Senado, which will have to be approved and in the event that there are some changes both rooms will negotiate a joint version.

It was the first major legislative project launched by Joe Biden’s Governor, who said that now is the time to approve a new fund to deal with the crisis.

The most llamatic means of rescuing are the new direct payments to contributors of $ 1,400.

In addition, the plan includes a budget of 350,000 million dollars for local and state governments; 20,000 million dollars for a national evacuation plan and another 50,000 for the test system.

También amplía hasta agosto las ayudas al desempleo, ya que los actualen fondos expiran el 14 de marzo, fecha límite que se han marcado tanto la Casa Blanca como los democratas en ambas kameras para tener el final project.

Además de todo esto, the rescute includes funds for airlines, local transportation systems and the railway network, also for comedy programs, help to raise or finance for the repertoire of schools.

One of the main points of friction between the Democrats is the inclusion in the bill of one of the minimum federal wage subsidies of the current 7.25 dollars per hour to 15 dollars per hour.

These Jews, without embarrassment, the legal services of the Senate inform the Democrats that they can not approve the submission with a simple majority of 50 votes, number and as claimed, if necessary 60, a figure unlikely to increase.

While the Cámara Baja dio esta madrugada el viso bueno al project, the Democratic leaders are studying while approving the wage subsidy, one of the election promises of Biden.

This Biden’s economic recovery, finally approved, unites some 900,000 million dollars that the Congress pulsated in December and 2.2 billion dollars, the mayor of the history of the United States, in March passed.
