Christopher Low, chief economist at FHN Financial, breaks down where the involved parties stand. “In the Senate, they have decided that no aid is preferable to a big expensive package,” Low said. “In the House, they have decided, a lot of people need help, and the only way to help everybody is to insist that no package at all is preferable to anything less than a fairly comprehensive one. In the White House, it’s increasingly clear, they don’t care how big it is. They just want something to be done.”
