Week Ahead

Key topics include:

This would catalyse a 60% drop in income for those on these benefits. Replacing the benefits is part of overall extended stimulus package initiatives being proposed by the rival political parties. The  House Democrats are seeking a $3.4tn spending package, Republicans are looking to limit the new spending to $1tnn.
