CNN 2020 S.C. Town Hall: on Budget & Economy


Joe Biden: Under 2009 Recovery Act, we had one place to call

I hope what they do is what we did in another circumstance when we had a $900 billion Recovery Act. We had one place in the White House, in the vice president's office. I put together an entire team, any governor, mayor, anyone could contact immediately, know where it's going, know what the money would be, know how it would get there, etc. There has to be management here. That's really critical. It should begin right now [during the pandemic].
