Biden Says Containing Pandemic Is Vital to Economic Recovery
(Bloomberg) -- President-elect Joe Biden promised Monday that his administration would fight the coronavirus pandemic and spur an economic recovery in 2021 but also urged Congress to pass a stimulus bill this year to deliver immediate relief to struggling Americans.
Biden said lawmakers should approve a bill like the $2.2 trillion HEROES Act that the House of Representatives passed, as his team begins to work with business and labor to make plans for combating the pandemic-related downturn once he takes office.
Biden met with the chief executives of General Motors Co. and Microsoft Corp., as well as key labor leaders, on Monday before speaking in detail about the economy for the first time since winning the presidential election.
“We’re ready to come together. The unity was outstanding,” Biden said of the virtual meeting, which he attended from Wilmington, Delaware. “It was really encouraging, quite frankly, to get people, business and labor, agreeing on the way forward.”

Now there you go again Joe, trying to bring common sense back to the executive branch.
