In a Wednesday statement with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she supports a $908 billion economic relief measure presented by a bipartisan group of lawmakers on Tuesday. The bipartisan bill is roughly half the amount offered by the White House during negotiations with Pelosi before the election.
In October, President Donald Trump's negotiators raised their compromise offer to $1.8 trillion after House Democrats had approved a $2.2 trillion package. But Pelosi opposed the White House compromise, arguing that it did not go far enough and that the language regarding the government health care response to the pandemic was not sufficient. Those negotiations resulted in a stalemate.
On Tuesday, nine senators - four Republicans, four Democrats and one independent - joined by the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus in the House of Representatives, unveiled a $908 billion compromise deal. Although the package does not include nearly as much aid as Democrats pushed for prior to the election, Pelosi and Schumer said they were backing the legislation in "the spirit of compromise."

Didn’t they offer 1.5T?
“Another round of $1,200 direct stimulus checks to most Americans is not included.” Buried about six paragraphs and lots of ads down.
Popular items like another round of $1,200 stimulus checks and the $600-per-week federal boost to unemployment insurance are not included but a source familiar with the negotiations said McConnell’s bill ought to receive bipartisan support as the pandemic continues to rage.
As long as there’s money for bailing out public pension plans, she won’t care that the private sector is screwed.
She could not claim any of the 26 House Republican retirement seats, (easier than unseating an incumbent) AND she lost 14 Dem seats. I’d call that a massive fail.
“..the language regarding the government health care response to the pandemic..”
Pelosi code talk for we don’t have enough imported h1-b visa workers to destroy the doctor and nurse professions in this country.
NO, we have the stimulus, it’s a vaccine.
No, I think the highest they got was $1T in July. They were pissed when Trump offered $1.8T.
Efing hypocrites...
Hate all the democrats!
The article specifically says “ No 1200 stimulus check is included in the package”.
So no stimulus checks for folks.
per the article
includes about $82 billion for education, $45 billion for transportation agencies, $26 billion for nutrition assistance programs and $16 billion to cover health care costs associated with coronavirus testing and distribution of pending vaccines. However, another round of $1,200 direct stimulus checks to most Americans is not included.

I am surprised no one caught on to this Newsweak Newspeak.
Anus King is NOT an Independent. He votes consistently with the democrap party he caucuses with. He and Burnie are the opposite of independent.
[She (Nancy Pelosi) made millions of unemployed people, most of whom lost their jobs through no fault of their own, suffer for months. She did it to make us (people) mad at (President) Trump.]
Yes - totally partisan politics by Democrat Nancy Pelosi
[Election’s over. we don’t need you peons anymore...]
Scary how true that is. The useful idiots kept supporting them, too.
