anyone know the total cost of the stimulus program? (1 Viewer)

[RakeshCristoval]

heard a little while back that it was $210B, can anyone confirm?

 

[Zacharia Villegas]

It was around $210 billion including the $130 billion Jobkeeper stimulus but then an error meant that it only cost $70 billion, so in total the federal govt spent around $150 billion($17.6 billion for Welfare recipients, $66 bn for Welfare seekers + Jobseeker, $70 bn for Jobkeeper)
