WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden's US$1.9 trillion (S$2.6 trillion) Covid-19 "American Rescue Plan" stimulus is the largest government intervention in the US economy since World War II.
The Bill, passed by the Senate over the weekend, is up for a House vote this week, and is expected to pass. President Biden will sign it soon after.
