US Senate blocks $48 billion in aid for small businesses
The US Senate has blocked $48 billion in aid for small businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Hill noted that the vote on the allocation of funds took place on May 19. The bill itself failed to get the 60 votes it needed to move forward.
Opponents of the bill pointed out that allocating additional funds would lead to faster inflation and budget deficits.
Added The Hill . The results of the vote led to the termination of consideration of the bill. But the senators who decided to promote it, announced the continuation of the struggle for the interests of small businesses in the United States.
