“ And together we’re going to make sure that the benefits the American Rescue Plan go out quickly and directly to the American people, where they belong.
Let me close with this: Help is here and hope is here in real and tangible ways. We’re just days away from 100 million shots in millions — in the arms of millions of Americans. That’s the way. That’s the way — on the way to get every single American access to the vaccine. One hundred million checks going into the pockets — and/or direct deposits — going into the pockets of Americans, on the way to a million more — millions of more Americans. ”

“ We have to prove to the American people that their government can deliver for them, and do it without waste or fraud; that we can vaccinate the nation; that we can get our kids safely back in school; and we can get our economy back on track by helping hundreds of thousands of small businesses open and stay open; and that we can give people of this nation a fighting chance again with relief checks, lower childcare costs, lower healthcare costs, and so much more. ”

“ By the time all the money is distributed, 85 percent of American households will have gotten a $1,400 rescue checks.
To give more — to give one more example: For the average family of two parents and two children making a combined income of $110,000 a year, that’s going to add $5,600 for them — $5,600 they’ll get.
And the plan does a lot more. It extends unemployment insurance for the 11 million Americans unemployed and any who will be unemployed in the near term. ”
