Emergency funding or pork? Either way, it’s close to passing
The $1.9 trillion stimulus package is now in the hands of the House of Representatives, who are expected to pass the bill on to president Biden today for his approval. Boyd has some thoughts for audiences to bear in mind as the bill progresses, mainly this is the largest single swath spending in American history when we are also at a point of the largest national debt in our history. The over-reaching package is being called out for including non-covid related pension bailouts, Seaway International Bridge, Amtrack, and more. ‘Inside Sources with Boyd Matheson,’ Opinion Editor at Deseret News, takes you inside the latest political news and current events, providing higher ground for today's discussions.
