on. The first thing I gotta do is get this covert package passed. What President Joe Biden's goal of a bipartisan coronavirus relief package may be slipping away. We're not going to do this in a piecemeal way or break apart a big package. The White House and their allies on Capitol Hill ready to press forward. Republicans can still vote for a package, even it goes through. If it even if it goes through with reconciliation, there's no blood oath. Anybody signs, uh, they're able Thio sign to support it regardless. And top White House officials, including the president himself, continue to have discussions with Republicans in search of a path forward. He wants this to be a bipartisan package. He's listening to Democrats and Republicans. We all are to ensure that that's what it looks like at the end of the day. But Biden has also made clear splitting key elements out. To reach a deal is not on the table. Time is of the essence, and I must tell you, I'm reluctant to cherry pick and take out one or two items here and then have to go through it again because these all are kind of they go sort of hand and glove. And Democrats on Capitol Hill are increasingly convinced a deal with any Republicans on Biden's $1.9 trillion proposal is simply not possible, Sources say. The smartest thing we can do is act big, and they are ready to push ahead on a partisan basis. We would hope that we would have bipartisan cooperation, but we're not taking any tools off the table, should they? Not all, As the depth of the economic destruction wrought by Cove, it comes toe light. The U. S economy contracted 3.5% in 2020 the first annual decline since the 2008 financial crisis and the worst drop since 1946 in the middle of this covert crisis. The damage from the pandemic. Also driving Biden's newest executive action on Obama care. The man who made B f D. Famous now reopening enrollment for the law. That's deal was so big as he presses to undo his predecessors efforts to kill the law basically the best way to describe them to undo the damage Trump has done

Still no stimulus check? Check the mail for a debit card
Still haven't received your $600 stimulus payment? Check the mail for a debit card.The Internal Revenue Service sent out more than 100 million payments in January, which were approved by Congress late last year. The vast majority of payments were directly deposited into personal bank accounts, but others are receiving either a paper check or prepaid debit card in the mail. About 8 million debit cards were sent out.Like the first round of payments, which were worth up to $1,200 per person and were sent out last spring, the agency is sending the payment in three different ways to help speed up the delivery process.Last year, some recipients mistakenly thought the debit cards were junk mail. The Internal Revenue Service is warning people to keep a careful eye on the mail and that the form of payment may be different than the one received last year. Some people who received a paper check last time may now get a prepaid debit card. The new payment will not be added to any debit cards that were sent for the first round of payments.The debit cards are being sent in a white envelope with the Treasury Department seal on the outside. The card itself is a Visa debit card issued by MetaBank, the Treasury's financial agent. It can be used to make purchases, to get cash at an ATM or to transfer funds into a bank account without being charged a fee.People can check to see whether their second payment has been sent by using the Internal Revenue Service's Get My Payment online tool. The law required the agency to stop delivering this round of payments. Eligible people who weren't sent their money by then will have to wait to claim it on their 2020 tax return.Eligibility is largely based on income. Individuals earning less than $75,000 a year will receive the full $600. Heads of household earning less than $112,500 and married couples filing jointly earning less than $150,000 are also due the full amount. They will receive $600 per child under the age of 17, which is $100 more than in the first round.The payments start phasing out for people making more money, at a rate of $5 per $100 of additional income. Some people who received the first payment may be phased out of the second round because the payments are smaller.They will phase out entirely at $87,000 for single filers without children and $174,000 for those married filing jointly without children, according to an analysis by the Tax Foundation.Undocumented immigrants who don't have Social Security numbers remain ineligible for the payments. But in a change from the first round, their spouses and children are now eligible as long as they have Social Security numbers.Those who are claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return, like some college students, remain ineligible.
