Coronavirus Stimulus Bill: Who Will Be Left Behind?
The massive $2 trillion stimulus bill will provide relief for many Americans during the financial crisis created by the COVID-19 pandemic. But many vulnerable people will be ineligible for much-needed financial aid.
The Rev. Jim Wallis and Robert Greenstein, president of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, dissect the particulars of the bill, explaining how you can access the protections contained in the legislation. They also highlight the failures of the aid package that ignore the needs of the people on the margins of society whom Jesus calls us to feed, clothe, and shelter.
Greenstein calls us to apply the "golden rule" in the fight ahead, so that we can expand coverage to our brothers and sisters who need it most in the next round.
