US stimulus should most probably pass tomorrow “We’re very close,” Trump said. “The Democrats want to get there,” and so do Republicans, he said. “I don’t think anybody has a choice.”The bill, which currently totals about $1.8 trillion, would include direct payments to individuals and families (on average about $3,000 for a family of four), expanded unemployment benefits and a massive loan program to tide over small businesses.
It would be by far the largest such measure in U.S. history, equivalent to roughly half the current federal budget.
