The House just introduced a new relief plan. Will Senate Republicans go for it?

A group of bipartisan House members released a deal framework that would expand unemployment aid, boost rental assistance, and provide state and local aid.

Congress is at a stalemate on a new round of coronavirus relief for Americans — with Democrats wanting more generous aid and Republicans pushing a more austere package. But a bipartisan group of House members came together to work on a deal they hope could pass both chambers, with they unveiled Tuesday.

The proposal from the Problem Solvers Caucus, first reported on by Politico, funds most things House Democrats want, but at a lower price tag than the $3 trillion bill they passed on May 15. The group's package amounts to $1.5 trillion in spending.

The deal includes $120 billion for added unemployment insurance, which would give laid-off workers $450 in added benefits for eight weeks, followed by 13 weeks of $600 payments that would be available through January 2021.

That's a middle ground between the bill House Democrats passed, which included a $600 per week unemployment aid extension through the end of the year, and the Senate Republican-passed bill, which included just a $300 weekly boost through 2020.

3. What about the $1200 stimulus check?

I'm not on unemployment, I'm on SS. Prices on many things, especially food, have up a lot.
My SS stays the same.

5. hells to the NO!!!

The original plan was for $3 trillion because that was what was needed. McTurtle proposed 1.

Under no circumstances do we go below $2 trillion and let the Repukes win again. They already robbed us blind with the first coronavirus bill.

They took out
1) Rules preventing money from going to House, Senate, Cabinet level, etc -- so grifters gonna grift
2) Protections against megacorporations and Rethuglican donrs getting extra cash -- 'cause Mnuchin was going make sure that no one who donated got extra cash
3) Money for states and local government
4) Election protection

NO WAY!!! Do not let McTurtle win.

I don't know which DINO is part of this BS -- this absolutely stinks of Rethuglicons all the way.

7. My point was that this is not THE HOUSE

The house had a bill. They had a compromise to meet the (R)s half way. This group of rogues is fully in the Republacna end of the pool. They are bipartisan -- yes I blame whatever (D) who got snowed into thinking that going from $3 trilllion to $1.5 was a good deal.
