Pelosi: Democrats eyeing more cash payments in next emergency bill
The Hill ^ | 03/25/20 | By Mike Lillis

Posted on 03/25/2020 5:57:53 PM PDT by justme4now

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Wednesday that Democrats will press for another wave of direct payments to Americans as Congress begins weighing the next round of emergency relief in response to the coronavirus crisis.

House Democrats had proposed a $1,500 cash infusion for all Americans in their stimulus bill, up to a certain income level — a $300 increase over the Senate package, which is expected to reach the president's desk in the coming days.

Pelosi suggested Wednesday that neither figure is high enough, calling for another round of checks in the next wave of stimulus — the fourth since the crisis began — to be considered in the weeks and months ahead.

"We had bigger direct payments in our bill, and we think we'll get more direct payments in another bill," she said in an interview with CNN.

She did not say how much.

Already working on the next stimulus bill. She's going to get her wish list in dribs and drabs.

But, for some reason, I'm not convinced I'm going to see my $1,200 check this time around let alone a $1,500 check next time.

What level income $15,000? Their last gambit was to give the money to the IRS to loan to you. You would have 3 years to repay it

I hope Donald Trump gives them 24 hours and if they haven’t gotten the bill passed he should just open things up.

The filthy lobbyist groups for Indians and Communist Chinese H1Bs are pushing for giving 500,000 H1Bs and H4EADs automatic visa renewal and priority hiring over Americans.

Like you I will be surprised if this thing actually goes through. Actually I will be shocked. The rats cannot give Trump perceived victory and they cannot abide giving non-dependent Americans.

I am curious Which lie does Fake News expect us to buy here?

Pelosi played an outsize role in the crafting of the Senate’s massive, $2 trillion coronavirus relief package

House Democrats, who have been on recess for more than a week, have complained of being shut out of the negotiations, which were conducted primarily between Senate leaders and the White House

It will pass. They've already got the narrative ready.

They get their billions of dollars in unrelated items and then they accuse President Trump of handing out billions of dollars to his corporate friend and then demand another bill.

Then, when that bill comes out, it will be reported that it contains billions of dollars of pork, which Nanzi Pelosi will remove SOME of and then President Trump will sign it.

Nanzi will immediately accuse President Trump of handing out billions of dollars to his corporate buddies and then demand another bill containing billions of dollars in unrelated spending which she will remove SOME of after it is exposed and then President Trump will sign it.

Nanzi Pelosi will immediately accuse President Trump.....well, you get the idea. You know the thing.

WFT, just run the money printing presses 24/7 and send everyone on the country $ 100,000 and then next year another $ 100,000.

It’s insane.

I have no doubt it’s going to go through. This will be just the first of many. I just don’t think I’ll see my check. Or if I do, it will come with strings attached.

Again, how about long term debt deferment for 60 days (e.g., mortgage, rent, car, student and long-term loans) and let the unemployment insurance that's already in place give them enough for food, utilities, etc. Otherwise, Pelosi and gang are going to give away everything and then point to the debt and blame Trump.

I don't usually like the idea of government handouts and bailouts but, dammit, everybody else is getting a cut of my hard work, why shouldn't I?

Sorry. Maybe I'm exhibiting the mentality the pushers of the Cloward and Piven strategy are hoping for but, hell, SOMEbody is going to get a cut of my money.

Sheeeeyit. As if she gives a flying fig about "Americans". She only has eyes for the billions of dollars that will go to her cronies who will in turn funnel hundreds of millions back to her.
