We can continue to go back and forth about the Democrat Leaders' political posturing andneedless delays, but the message I want small businesses, their employees, and our nation'shealth care workers on the front lines to hear right now is this: We are with you. More help is on the way. And we will continue to fight alongside you as we work towards safely reopening our country,said Walden. The legislation,which passed the Senate earlier this week, will refill the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), whichran out of fundinglast week. The bill includes $310 billion for the PPP,$50 billion for Economic Injury Disaster Loanprogramand$10 billion fortheEIDL advance/grant program,$75 billion for hospitals/health careproviders, and $25 billion for testing.
