The newly elected US President Joe Biden has announced a stimulus package of $ 1.9 trillion. This amount is more than half the size of the entire economy of India. India’s economy is about three trillion dollars. Even before this, the US has given a trillion dollar Covid package.

Biden made the announcement the following week before assuming power. This stimulus package is to overcome the slowdown in the economy from the Covid-19 epidemic. If the US Congress approves, then one trillion dollars will be for American families, which will directly give all American citizens $ 1,400, or about 30 thousand rupees.

This relief package includes $ 415 billion to deal with the corona virus and $ 440 to help small businesses. Joe Biden of the Democratic Party promised that he would win the war against the Corona virus, which has killed three and 85 thousand American citizens.

In his election campaign last year, Biden said that he would deal with the Corona epidemic more effectively than Trump. Biden has come with a relief package when America is badly hit by Corona in winter. More than two lakh new cases are coming up every day and more than 4000 deaths are happening.

“It’s clear that the humanitarian crisis is deep,” Biden said Thursday night in Delaware, his home town of Wilmington. We cannot waste any more time. The health of our country is at stake. We have to do it and now immediately. We will stumble but we will be honest with you.
