$1.9 Trillion

 Just a quick post with a few major points:

Biden is calling for the $1400 addition to stimulus checks to bring the total to $2000 for this round. Will also include some families left out of initial rounds.

Increase funding for unemployment and rent/mortgage assistance through September.

Calling on Congress to pass $15 minimum wage and eliminate tipped and non-minimum wage exemptions.

Bout to get real interesting....

A New Year... Simple Solutions

 First and foremost.... welcome to 2021. I fully expect nothing less than what we're doing now to continue for this new year. Just another day, after all.
