“We need a COVID relief package, and we need it now. America is the richest country in the world. In fact, America is the richest country in history. The CARES Act and the Fed pumped trillions of dollars into the economy this spring all while interest rates sank to historic lows. Our economic might was built for this moment--for this emergency. We can afford to meet the needs of our people and our economy in this pandemic. The economists, in fact, are urgently telling us that the problems of today vastly outweigh the potential debt problems of tomorrow. This is especially true if inaction means laying off firefighters and people losing their homes. We know we can help our people, and experts agree we should help our people. But all my constituents know is that that has not happened. We have a sacred duty to get it done. ____________________”
