Newly Passed Relief Bill Goes Far Beyond Impacts Of COVID

The COVID relief package passed by Congress aims to support low-income Americans with $1400 stimulus checks and an expanded child tax credit, increasing incomes by 20%. The child tax credit is raised to $3000 for children aged 6-17 and $3600 for those under 6, with monthly payments. The bill also includes $39 billion for child care centers, pension funding, and health insurance tax credits. It provides $31 billion for indigenous people and $5 billion for farmers of color. Despite its transformative nature, the $1.9 trillion bill faced opposition from Republicans, passing without their votes.
