Initially, estimates said the package Biden is proposing would be around $2.25 trillion, but Biden seems willing to compromise.<\/p>\n<p>However, with the letter sent to Biden from Democratic leaders and if he approved of adding direct payments, the stimulus could be much larger. The letter stresses that senators are \u201cworried about the cliff facing unemployed workers when the unemployment insurance extensions expire on September 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter signed by Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Edward Markey, Sherrod Brown, Debbie Stabenow, Richard Blumenthal, and others notes the senators think there are plenty of reasons to keep payments going. The group of senators believes that President Biden must be bold and help the American people in need right away.<\/p>\n<p>The letter states:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>Now is the time for boldness.
