US Support Package Will Be On The Senate This Week

The US support package will be on the Senate this week. The package had managed to get approval from the House of Representatives.

The $ 1.9 trillion economic support package proposed by US President Joe Biden against the new type of coronavirus (Covid-19) will be discussed at the Senate this week. Chuck Schumer, the Democrats' Majority Leader, announced at the Senate General Assembly that they will consider the package this week. Schumer said: "The American people sent us here to fulfill some missions. The Senate will also discuss the economic recovery package this week, it will discuss the package extensively." The bill, approved in the US House of Representatives on Saturday morning, is described as the biggest package that the Biden administration is working on against the economic effects of the coronavirus. If this bill is accepted in the Senate, it will be sent to Joe Biden for signature. The package bill includes cash assistance support of $ 1400 per person, as well as an increase in the minimum hourly wage to $ 15. According to a decision announced by the relevant authorities in the Senate last week, the article about increasing the minimum hourly wage to 15 dollars will not be included in the economic stimulus package. In parallel, it is expected that the regulation on the hourly minimum wage will be removed from the bill in the Senate. In addition to the Republicans in the Senate, some Democrats did not support such a move on the grounds that it would "increase unemployment".     In this article, Bloomberg HT contributes.
