The Senate decision was made after a long night of discussion of the so-called "vote-a-rama" changes.   Biden Insists On Speeding Up the Stimulus Package US President Joe Biden is insisting on speeding up the stimulus package. In a statement he made yesterday, Biden pointed out that the employment increased by 49 thousand people in January and stated that more than 10 million people were unemployed in the country. Stating that the coronavirus (Covid-19) epidemic continues to harm the US economy, Biden stated that people have difficulty making a living, the rate of suicides and domestic violence has increased, and many people are driven into despair. Emphasizing that he wanted to implement the said support package with the support of the Republicans, Biden stated that they were not willing to do so: “I prefer to work together, but if I have to choose between helping Americans in pain right away and long negotiations, I will help the suffering American people.” In addition, Biden reported that $ 160 billion was allocated to the national Covid-19 strategy for vaccine production and distribution.
