Subject: Advancing $1.9 Trillion in Unnecessary COVID-19 Relief Spending via the "American Rescue Plan"
Description: This resolution, the so-called American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, unnecessarily plunges the nation trillions of dollars into additional debt under the guise of relief for COVID-19. This massive bill includes $1,400 checks for all individuals earning under $75,000 and further extends the $300 weekly federal unemployment benefits throughout the summer. ACU recognizes this program is rife with fraud and waste, supports the full reopening of the economy and opposes discouraging employment and ruinous deficit spending.
Result: Bill Passed, 50-49
