March 17th, President Trump asked Congress to expedite emergency relief checks to Americans as part of an economic stimulus package. Over the past seven months, Republicans and Democrats have worked to deliver a second stimulus package, but negotiations have failed at every pass.

But as the seasons change and the air gets cooler, now has to be the time to stop the politics, find a compromise and attain bipartisan support for a second stimulus package. An economic stimulus package is needed now, and would allow us to enter this period stronger and better prepared.
