    That’s just drawing from a special Presidential fund. I forgot the name. It is only a couple of billions in total, and must last for a year and for everything the administration wants to support without Congressional approval.

    And if the $60 billion main aid package is intended for a year, then $300 million is the equivalent of less than 2 day’s worth.

    “A drop on a hot stone”, as we say in Germany.
