White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said Saturday that the size of the COVID-19 economic relief package has swelled to around 10 percent of the country’s gross domestic product, or $2 trillion, according to multiple reports.
“The package is coming in at about 10 percent of GDP,” Kudlow told reporters on March 21, according to a tweet by Bloomberg reporter Laura Litvan, who noted that when fellow Bloomberg reporter Jack Fitzpatrick asked Kudlow to confirm whether the package would come in at over $2 trillion, the director of the National Economic Council replied in the affirmative.
