On Monday, during a news briefing, President Joe Biden said that the Donald Trump administration’s Coronavirus relief package became a ‘free-for-all’ for all firms that are well-connected, the matter that Joe Biden will not permit to occur with Gene Sperling (American economist) controlling the implementation of the 1.9 trillion dollars American Rescue Plan.
Gene Sperling, a senior Democratic economic policy analyst who had offered his services as director of the NEC (National Economic Council) under President Barack Obama and President Bill Clinton, will handle the spending from the relief package that President Joe Biden approved into law earlier week.
In a TV appearance from the White House, President Joe Biden described that when Congress previous year approved the CARES Act, Congress made a team of inspectors general to ensure even a little amount of that money was spent as it was ordered.
Mainstream businesses needed the help most
Biden added that one of the first things the Trump administration did was fire the head of the inspectors general team. He said when Congress approved what was intended to be a small business relief package, it instead available for all well-connected organizations. Moreover, ordinary businesses, from hardware shops to beauty-salons that badly needed the support, were left behind; 400,000 are now gone. President described that they won’t let that happen this time.

He continued that Gene Sperling is going to be on the call with governors and mayors, blue states, red states, a source of guidance, a source of constant communication, and above all, a source of accountability for us to get the job done.
