One in six people can't pay their rent. Some people are enduring a long winter in sub-zero temperatures, unable to pay their heating bill. Twenty-five percent of the people who make under $40,000 a year are now unemployed. State and local governments crippled, businesses and restaurants closed.

This legislation is not a blue State bailout or liberal handout, it is how we address the suffering that has crippled our country, it is how we move forward and beat this pandemic.

Let's move our country forward, and let's do it together.”
