President Biden speaks about the economy, COVID-19 relief

President Joe Biden spoke Friday about the state of the economy and his $1.9 billion relief plan, which needs congressional approval.

Earlier, the Senate narrowly passed a budget resolution, an important step to getting Mr. Biden's proposal approved. Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote.

The resolution is part of a budget process known as reconciliation, which allows legislation to pass with only a simple majority instead of the typical 60-vote threshold, meaning Democrats would be able to green-light it without any Republican votes.

Biden drops half the working middle class out of this relief bill...I work 50-60hr weeks last year and now im hearing i don't deserve or need the cash. Wonder how others that have pulled doubles are reacting.

Prove YOU created jobs. I can prove you cut 10’s of thousands jobs.

equality is about giving everyone an equal chance, not about giving everyone an equal result

[WarMoe]

Maybe people should stop wondering what too do, and go apply for jobs. Problem solved. When I lost work because of covid, I went and got a job. Applied over 50 places. Its not hard.

A lot of people don't want governments help, they want the jobs they had back!

If people suffering Why cut thousands of Union jobs And jobs in Canada

[TonyJack]

I'm confused; With some many people out of work and needing financial assistance, why did you destroy jobs (not to mention good paying jobs) by canceling the Keystone Pipeline?

[richardreese]

Why do reporters ask him any questions. This is so weird how no one wants to ask any questions anymore

[fritzalot]

Somehow, people have to learn that the stock market is not the Economy.

Only YOU can solve YOUR problems. Don't wait around for the government to help you out.

[bobbob]

How dare you help people with their own tax

[NickSpinelli]

We don’t want more money and more government debt, we want to open up so we can work.

[hoapres]

Had we never shut the country down in the first place then we wouldn't have these problems and the economy would be booming.

[glahut]

We need unity, we need masks, we need to address climate change, we need a strong economy so the BIG GUY gets 10%

[johnnguyen]

Bet money. 90% people not watching whole video

[ydvlljj]

"a lot of people trying to figure out how to keep their jobs" as many lose theirs with a stroke of your pen.

[katreasons]

Post what the stimulus bill is going for . Line byline . Wondering how much is staying in America

[christopherblanchard]

Recovery happens when the government does nothing. Government intervention has never helped long term.

[kirklydonald]

Did he just say he was the one who got the bill that bailed out the banks passed?
