So reports The Hill, which added up the various proposals under serious consideration as Democrats aim to stem rising unemployment rates (again). Central to the package, The Hill said, will be another extension of unemployment benefits and COBRA insurance subsidies ($100 billion); emergency funds for struggling states ($75 billion); new infrastructure projects ($69 billion); business tax credits for hiring new workers ($27 billion); and an increase in small business loans ($20 billion).
Nothing is set in stone, The Hill noted, and the final package could be larger or smaller, offset or not. Still, there’s starting to be some consensus on the $300 billion figure, which New York Times columnist Paul Krugman floated just a few weeks ago.
