Donald Trump did not sign a rescue package of around $ 900 billion (HUF 267 billion) to mitigate the economic consequences of the coronavirus. The outgoing president of the United States justified this, among other things, by reducing the one-time allocation of $ 600 (178,000 forints) for Americans in need as a result of the epidemic, and demanded that this amount be raised to $ 2,000 (593,000 forints) .
The corresponding package should have been approved on Saturday night to ensure that the needy and unemployed receive their benefits.
So, however, now 14 million Americans have fallen between two chairs and are still not receiving $ 600 or $ 2,000.
As usual, the president of the United States made his decision on Twitter, echoing his earlier argument. According to Donald Trump, $ 2,000 should be provided to individuals and $ 4,000 to couples, so a family would have received about $ 1 million at the end of the year. In his publication, he considered it important to mention that he said that the economic difficulties were the fault of China, suggesting that he was blaming the Asian country for the outbreak.
$ 2000 + $ 2000 plus other family members. Not $ 600. Remember, it was China’s fault!

The package would have increased the amount of unemployment benefits by $ 300 per week for 11 weeks. Now this is also waiting for you.
A special problem is that the moratorium on evictions in various places expires on January 1, so those who would need big benefits may find themselves in big trouble.
The solution would be to extend the moratorium or approve the rescue package.
Donald Tump’s demand to increase the amount of the one-time allocation was supported by Democrats, but rejected by Republicans. The rescue package was developed with the help of his own advisers, including Finance Minister Steve Mnuchin.
The situation is also complicated by the fact that the federal government budget of $ 1.4 trillion was included in the rescue package. As the role of the president of the United States has yet to dry up to any paper, the government will partially shut down starting Tuesday, unless lawmakers agree to a transitional law to prevent it. However, this bill would not include aid and its entry into force will also require the signature of Donald Trump.
