What a shockingly dishonest title. Well first, the relief bill is smaller by a lot because there are now 2 relief packages "worth a total of $908 billion. The first bill, with a $748 billion price tag, will include all the spending both sides have signed off on, including replenished funding for small-business loans, extended unemployment, money for schools and vaccine distribution.
Senators will hive off the other $160 billion into a separate bill. That measure will focus on items that continue dividing the parties, including a business liability shield and aid to state and local governments, Politico and CNN reported Sunday night."

- cma 6y agoThe article never mentions the liability thing, which is key (at least searching liability I didn't find anything).
