Second stimulus checks: Democratic leadership rejects new bipartisan proposal with $1,200 direct payments

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Democratic leadership in the House rejected a bipartisan $1.5 trillion coronavirus aid proposal that includes a second round of $1,200 direct payments to Americans.

The plan, unveiled by a group calling itself Problem Solvers Caucus, also included $500 billion for cities and states, unemployment insurance of $600 a week, increased SNAP benefits and rental assistance.

A set of powerful Democratic committee chairs swung against the proposal saying it “leaves too many needs unmet” — a leadership effort that signals that the Problem Solvers bill is going nowhere.

No. 2 House Democrat Steny Hoyer of Maryland said the caucus had developed “useful ideas, important ideas” but said the proposal did not do enough to address the ongoing needs of helping the economy recover from the COVID-19 crisis.

Mission creep is why I can’t have a workshop. I’m told it has to be a garage and storage and have a restroom too ... not only have I shrunk to a corner out of all that I can’t afford all that.

If I was the federal government I would just take my neighbor’s garage over.

Good for Nancy and Chuck. We do not need any more spending. Let us hope they stand strong and do not approve any spending bills.

If the nasty Dems can’t strut around claiming the free money was their big idea, then they don’t want it to happen.

Yeah it sounds like the “Problem Solvers Caucus” are real fiscal conservatives. What a joke. I’m with you: Go, Crazy Nancy, go!

McConnell should just submit one item of the bill as its own bill. Then see what Pelosi does. Make sure the single bill is for the people and not for local or state governments.

SECOND stimulus check? I’m still waiting for my first one.

Was supposedly mailed on May 22. Then two months later they post that there was a foul up and some of those didn’t get sent.

Then it was going to be deposited in my bank account on August 24th. Didn’t happen.

Latest info says ‘scheduled to me mailed on September 3...” Nothing in my box as of today, the 16th.

I can’t wait until the government runs my health care!!!
