It's the largest economic stimulus package ever to hit the American economy - more money than what Americans pay in income taxes every year, and more than the $800 billion the government spent with TARP. While government checks can't rebuild the economy, they can help support the small businesses and workers who will.
These measures will hopefully help millions of Americans stay healthy, but they too will need time to work.
That's why it is absurd for Congress to even consider passing a massive "Phase 4" bill.
Even though the bill was far from perfect, Congress felt immense pressure to "Do something" and play its part to keep Americans safe.
Nancy Pelosi said there will be more bills, while other lawmakers referred to the bill as a "Down payment." Pelosi also tipped her hand last week when she sent draft legislation that included provisions like higher airline fuel standards or examining "Pay equity" for corporate boards.
Passing another massive "Emergency" comprehensive bill would be reckless - and likely a big-government, liberal wish list.
The rapid-fire succession of bills in the last few weeks will provide relief to millions of Americans now, though it will cost us all later.
