House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said they are close to an agreement on providing more aid during the CCP virus pandemic, including infusing a small business relief fund with more cash after it ran out of money last week.
Last week, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was included under the landmark $2.2 trillion deal passed by Congress to offset losses during the pandemic, exhausted its initial reserves. It prompted calls from Republicans to pass another measure to fund it, but neither the House nor the Senate made much progress last week before adjourning for the weekend.
“We want to add more money there,” Pelosi told Chris Wallace on “Fox News Sunday,” adding that “it is very urgent, though, that we support our—our police and fire, our health care workers, our nurses, our teachers.”
Pelosi said “that’s what the state and local government is about, is meeting the needs of the coronavirus. And everything that we’re doing is about the coronavirus, understand that.” Pelosi said the deal will “be soon,” adding that “these small businesses must thrive in a community where they’re, again, health is essential to them opening up.”
In a separate interview, Mnuchin laid out a possible time-table on when it could get passed.

TEACHERS?? They’re not working now and school’s out, with pay. They are essential as hookers.
mnuchin is not in congress
Does she want money to kill babies as well or money for MS-13?
…so…how much for ice cream Nanc?
One thing we’ve learned, is that perhaps we don’t really need 12 “administrators” for every teacher for e-learning
this means the repubs bent over again...
I’ll bet that Nasty was lying this morning when she said nothing will be in the bill that does not concern Corona Virus.
U Michigan has 29 DIVERSITY officers. Why do you need 29 SJW anti-white assholes in campus?
My guess is that, when states reopen, they might want to have classes in the summer to catch up, and teachers will want to be paid for showing up. Even though they are currently on paid vacation.
He isn’t? Is nazi? How are they “working” on this?
Pelosi is right up there with Hillary Clinton on the Evil scale.
The teachers have a union. If they weren’t getting paid you would hear from them all over the country. This is supposed to be for small business.
Of course they did, its what Repukes do,always, every single damned time.
In WA state they’ve moved to e-learning.
or that Pelosi has been feeling the heat.
I’ll email my congressman, Glenn Grothman, and I’ll ask him to vote against a bill that would give money to any state or city government. That spending isn’t authorized by the Constitution.
no, he isn’t a member of congress. wtf is his legal ability to be involved in passing any aid package?
“this means the repubs bent over again...”
And so will we.
Sounds like nanzi is getting the pork stuffing she so badly desires.
