A few days ago Congress finally agreed to a new $900B stimulus bill to serve as relief for American citizens and their businesses. The new stimulus bill stated that American citizens would receive a direct deposit of up to $600 ($600 less than what was previously dispersed in March).
Shortly after the new bill was announced president Trump held a press conference to announce that he would Veto the current bill stating ” American citizens need at least $2,000 per person”. In conjunction with Trump’s dismay for the bill, the omnibus bill that was pushed alongside the stimulus bill raised major concerns. As a result, Congress amended the current bill to $2,000 per American citizen. What wasn’t amended, however, was the omnibus bill that required a hefty load of American tax payers money.
