Fox News: Biden to Unveil Stimulus Plan to Pump $2T into Covid-Hit Economy

‘We need to help state and local communities’

EXCERPT:

SMITH: "All eyes on Joe Biden today as he unveils his stimulus plan, and we’re hearing that it could cost somewhere in the ballpark of $2 trillion. For more on that plan let’s bring in our panel, Washington Times opinion editor Charlie Hurt, and former Obama economic advisor Robert Wolf. Robert, what can you tell us that you know about this plan? Because it looks like he's going to go big."

WOLF: "Well, first, the timing couldn’t be better because, as numerous economists say, there's no economic health without public health. We’re having the pandemic spiral out of control. 1 in 5 jobs — I mean, 1 in 5 businesses are closing. And today’s jobless numbers were horrendous. We have 18 million people seeking unemployment assistance. So it has to be big, it has to be bold.”
