Central to the package, The Hill said, will be another extension of unemployment benefits and COBRA insurance subsidies ($100 billion); emergency funds for struggling states ($75 billion); new infrastructure projects ($69 billion); business tax credits for hiring new workers ($27 billion); and an increase in small business loans ($20 billion).
