On Wednesday, just before
midnight in the nation’s capital, the Senate approved one of the largest
emergency aid packages in the nation's history to help boost the U.S. economy
suffering from COVID-19.

The package includes $250 billion
for direct payments to individuals and families, another $250 billion in
unemployment insurance benefits, $350 billion for small business loans and $500
billion in loans for distressed corporations.

The House will give a final
approval Friday to the massive $2.2 trillion economic reduce bill.
