Floor Speech
Issues: Government Budget and Spending
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Ms. OMAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill, not because it is perfect or even sufficient, but because the lives and the livelihoods of Americans are at risk.
This bill provides immediate cash assistance. It allows for unemployment benefits. It puts direct money in the hands of small businesses who are struggling in my district. It creates $100 billion in assistance to hospitals, something Minnesota hospitals are desperately in need of, and it creates $150 billion in funding, necessary funding, for State and local governments.
