So reportsThe 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).
