” Take this package so quickly it will be very difficult, “- said a member of the House of Representatives Wall Hoyer (Steny Hoyer). Obama takes office on Jan. 20.

Legislators and Obama argued that the law is needed to support the American economy. “Unless we act quickly and boldly, we are waiting for a much more severe economic downturn, which may lead to double-digit unemployment rates,” – Obama said in a weekly radio address to the nation on Saturday.

According to Hoyer, the Chamber Representatives will promote the program by the end of January, then it will go through the Senate and will be transferred to the signature of the president by mid-February.

“We have two criteria. This must be done as quickly as possible, but it needs to be done as it should, “- said Hoyer.
