Americans have been struggling for months after the CARES Act was established by Congress. Months later, Congress kept voting for more bills that would help or hurt the people and the economy. Now on Monday Dec 21,2020 congress unveiled their "saving grace" method to avoid a government shutdown, rebuild the economy, grow more vaccine production, and satisfy the American people with stimulus checks. On Tuesday, it was voted by the House and Senate to be place into law until Donald Trump refused to sign the stimulus/government funding bill. He gave an alternative to increase the stimulus from $600-$2000. Democrats agreed to Trump's demand, but Republicans grew furious toward Trump and refused to make that deal. Now, the demand is blocked by the GOP and our country is facing a very grim Christmas without any aid and will face growing evictions, famine, unemployment rates, and Covid-19 cases and fatalities. In other words "Sad Christmas".
