That’s because the Small Business Loan Programme that a ton of American small businesses counted on initially dried up quickly of its cash. Now, Republicans and Democrats alike have reportedly come to terms with a deal that would see another major cash injection into the programme.

The department confirmed that this time around at least $75B would go towards hospitals; at least $50B in disaster loans, and at least $25B for COVID-19 testing among other important feats that Democrats argued for.
