President Trump has signed the largest-ever US financial stimulus package, worth $2tn (£1.7tn), as the country grapples with the coronavirus pandemic.
The House of Representatives passed the cross-party bill two days after the Senate debated its provisions.
On Wednesday the number of Americans filing for unemployment surged to a record high of 3.3 million people.
The US has more confirmed cases of coronavirus than any other country, with more than 97,000 positive tests.
No Democratic lawmakers were invited to the historic signing ceremony, which was held at the White House.

The economic masturbation in DC (don’t call it a bailout or pump priming) would scandalize the sex fiend in Dr Sax.
welp.. it was a great country while it lasted..
we will never get our debt and unfunded liabilities under control.
“No Democratic lawmakers were invited to the historic signing ceremony, which was held at the White House.”

I think not inviting Democrats to the signing was a bad thing. Now they can wash their hands of it, even though they should wear it around their necks for loading it down with barrels and barrels of unnecessary pork.
I think the Federal Reserve and Treasury just got merged.
“No Democratic lawmakers were invited to the historic signing ceremony, which was held at the White House.”
Don’t need to when we have more than an ample amount of Republicans and a president willing to do their bidding.
And I'm sure the media will be asking about that at the briefing this afternoon.
There is no delegated power for that either.
8,800 pages. That is out of control! No one reads that.
Now that they passed it they can find out what's in it.
Wrong - it is a stupid waste of money.
Keep drinking the Kool-Aid if it makes you feel better. Did we need a $2 Trillion “rebuilding” after polio which was a real threat and killing and maiming children and young adults? This is a killer of old, sick and vulnerable people, but it never was going to take as many as the last flu season. This is like when a heavy snow storm is forecast in the Pacific Northwest and we get a trace.
That’s a grim punchline that will echo down through the ages.
Thanks, Nanzi!

Close. It’s like when the National Weather Service declares that “snow is expected to fall in the Northwest in the coming week”, the media hypes it into Blizzard-geddon, the governors shut down Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, the President declares the region a disaster and allocates funds and deploys FEMA...and you get a trace.
Another day older and deeper in debt.....
