Show Notes

The American Rescue Plan, as most people are aware, does include direct relief payments to American citizens...but it has a number of other provisions that people may not yet be aware of.  The 1.9 trillion dollar package represents a major shift in our economic policy, especially as it relates to how that relief money is being targeted.  Most of the money will result in direct cash payments to small businesses and those most in need.   What impact will the stimulus have, and will it kickstart the economy as intended?  Craig's guest is John Harrington, an attorney who specializes in tax policy.
