00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,920
Hey, everybody. Kurt Schrader here. 
Wow, today's a busy day.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,800
Vote with my colleagues on both sides
of the aisle for our historic

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:12,300
bill called the CARES Act trying 
to get critical relief to

4
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:15,580
working families, small businesses
and certainly our our

5
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:20,000
frontline hospital and health care
providers. Very comprehensive

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,120
bipartisan bill hopefully creating
immediate helpful effect for

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,580
everybody out there. Hundreds of
billions of dollars going to

8
00:00:27,580 --> 00:00:30,480
our hospitals and health care workers
to help them access that

9
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,740
personal protective gear the need.
Make sure they hopefully get

10
00:00:33,740 --> 00:00:37,320
the ventilators that we need and
begin to understand more about

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,000
this coronavirus and ways to prevent
the sort of thing or at

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,920
least mitigate this sort of thing
much better in the future.

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,040
Working families and lower middle
income folks getting

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:52,560
immediate cash payment $1,200, $500
more per child for those

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,620
folks are under $75,000 a year.
This is the cash they need

16
00:00:57,620 --> 00:01:00,160
to survive right now. It's not gonna
be an on going thing. We

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,760
gotta be mindful of the budget, but at least help folks in this very very

18
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,620
near term from this very unexpected
event. Small business owners

19
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:10,860
are taking care of to a large degree
in this package, $340

20
00:01:10,860 --> 00:01:14,760
billion dollars allocated to make
sure that they can keep their

21
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,960
payroll going. They are forgivable
loans, if you keep your

22
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,820
payroll intact here over the next
next four months or so.

23
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:27,360
It also has $17 billion in debt
relief. A lot of us, you

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,980
know, frankly, you're carrying your
accounts payable month to

25
00:01:29,980 --> 00:01:32,840
month this would help you pay that
off. And then there's

26
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,940
another $10 billion out there
just to make sure that you

27
00:01:35,940 --> 00:01:39,140
can get loans from the SBA to tie
you over for operating

28
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:43,700
expenses and better best yet, the
SBA will pay the principal

29
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:48,020
and interest for the next six months
when you can. This is a

30
00:01:48,020 --> 00:01:50,840
great opportunity for folks I think
it's nice to see us

31
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,540
stepping up in a big big way and
you know hopefully more to

32
00:01:53,540 --> 00:01:57,040
come. At this point in time, I just
really pleased to be part of

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,420
a solution and actually direct aid
to American people right now.
