at the end of the day you had to look at basically what we were doing to help america, helping differenteople throughout this country, and trying to get the country back on its feet. the biggest thing is, bret, this economy, we've got to get people back and ready to go to work. they wanted to raise those rates, we thought at $300, is helpful. it continues a seamless transition. people don't have to wait and we're hoping they are ready to get up and go because we think by july, this things will go and if you don't have a work force that's ready to go you have a problem. we're hoping for that and also the direction, you said, well, we targeted it. i said we've got to target it and make sure the people that need the help are getting the help. this is a big lift as far as child tax credits but it's one thing that we've been able to see that can lift children out of poverty. we've just got to make sure that children get the use out of it. >> bret: the other thing we talked about back on february 2 was the filibuster and where you stood. here's what you said to me when i talked to you about th

we say to america, help is on the way. help is on the way. you will receive $1,400 checks by the end of march. help is on the way. >> in addition to those $1,400 checks for millions of lower and middle income americans, the american rescue plan, as it's called, includes a boost to temporary federal unemployment benefits, funding for small businesses, billions of dollars to help get students back into classrooms, as well as money to expand coronavirus testing and vaccine programs. and it is popular, at least as of now, according to the new cnn poll out today, 61% of the american people support the legislation. kaitlan collins is at the white house for us. when will the bill be signed by president biden? they've been pushing this urgency. no time to spare. >> yeah. it still has a few more procedural things to get through. it will be here at the white house. he is expected to sign it on friday at the white house. it's the people's law. he wants to sign it at the people's house. that's what he said in a statement earlier every. as far as that pop

america. part of it is going directly towards military policing drug wars and border control that is not going to help the people of central america the other part is going to promote the very same export oriented foreign investment based economic model that has destroyed central america's economies for the last 54 centuries. and has not helped the poor it has helped foreign investors it's helped profits and over consumption of cheap items in the united states ranging from our clothes. to the coffee and bananas to the fruits and vegetables. that are produced by me cheaply for us by maintaining poverty in central america by refusing to let central american countries do things like raise the minimum wage by refusing to let central american workers do things like form unions and our foreign policy our economic aid is has gone directly towards supporting those models that we just mentioned a few examples when nicaragua tried to carry out a revolution in the 1980 s. to change its social structure to start privileging the poor instead of the foreign investors the united states tries to overthrow it when the
