House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Tuesday that for many Americans the new direct payments are"necessary for their survival," and also serve as"stimulus to the economy."
The $3 trillion legislation would also include funding for: extending the $600 per week unemployment benefits in CARES 2 through January; nearly $1 trillion in aid to state and local governments; hazard pay for some essential workers; expanding coronavirus testing, contract tracing and treatment; enhancing tax credits for employers to keep workers on their payroll; providing full COBRA subsidies for those who lost their employer-provided health care coverage; additional money for the U.S.
Michael Zona, a spokesman for Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, called the overall legislation"DOA in the Senate," though he didn't comment specifically on the stimulus money.
Be fair and think for the hardworking Americans whose are singles like myself! I didn't even get the 1st $1200 check. 😭 SpeakerPelosi realDonaldTrump SenateGOP SenateDems TheDemocrats FOX40
2k sounds really nice for the single working Americans!! But 2k for per child is insane!? $500 is enough for them. It's not fair for the hard working American that are singles and has no kids! Save that $1500 for another working families!! I can paid mostly all my bills. CNN
No where near enough to cover the bills that are adding up while we are ordered locked in the house.

Lol. I won’t hold my breath. I haven’t seen the first one yet.
Three trillion dollars total and you could only come up with $1200 per person. And the rest goes to...
Thank you ❤️🙂
Thank goodness SpeakerPelosi HouseDemocrats SenSchumer SenateDems for their forthepeople agenda Because people like myself and our neighbors are suffering💙
boandsunny As if another $1200 will help people survive. What planet are they living on? People who make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, who never know want in their lives really think $1200 is a lot. That's rich, LITERALLY. UGH. 😔
No more money, open the country up, thats all that needs to be done.
Let’s get the job market going, much better idea earning paychecks.
If I put LLC at the end of my name, will republicans finally care about me?
New stimulus paymentsIt's -- the only way to keep the economy rolling and many, many people with food in their refrigerators.
It should be double that but is better than nothing
Does ANYONE in Washington understand what's happening out here?!! We need a MONTHLY lifeline. There are no/will be no jobs. We are shut down. There are no 'bootstraps' for us to pull ourselves up. You have cast us adrift in the middle of a pandemic. Save us, for the love of God!!
Yes, more free money! Drinks on me! 🎊🎉
This one should be based on your current income, not your income from last year.
Up to $6000 for people simply because they chose to have kids while limiting single, childless people to $1200 while they struggle just the same.
Maybe everyone could actually get this one
PLEASE hurry! We will not survive this much longer!
theShoeOSU Another? I never received the 1st one!
Really 1200 , that's it Sounds like I'm gonna starve
Why did we give $1200 to people who make $75,000 and are still employed instead of giving $2400 to people who make $40,000 and actually lost their jobs to CV19? Guessing the new spending package doesn’t address that either. Friggin democrats could screw up a one car funeral.
Chuck Turd should be fired for purposely misleading viewers
Great! Just keep printing money! No wonder my grocery bill and pretty much everything I purchase is getting INFLATED !
Such irresponsible reporting. This is a 3trillion dollar spending bill, not a plan for America or individual Americans it’s an attempt to utilize a pandemic to effect change that is not wanted by people we most certainly don’t want orchestrating an overhaul of our country.
That TheDemocrats want to jam this through quickly tells us that all the unrelated pork spending they tried to tack into previous legislation that SpeakerPelosi DID NOT support is in this bill.
Nope. Enough with the freebies. Open the economy and we American workers will take it from here.
That's still not enough for those that lost their jobs. Why not $2000 per person per month for those that lost their jobs?
$2k.
This is More BullSh:t !!! Throw that crap back in her drunk mouth!!!!
Yep they are
People are still waiting on the first one.
This is More BullSh:t !!! Throw that crap back in her drunk mouth!!!! 😡😡😡
No money for big business, just give the money to the people that need the money and let the money flow up, Giving to big business and let the money flow down is bullshit.If you must give some money to small business of two or ten that, but they must keep their employees employed
We haven’t received our first check yet
They’ll vote it down and people acting like this is a good thing, nothing in life is FREE the government WILL get their money.
So my brother, a couple of my friends & I have yet to to get a cent from unemployment.. we filed over a month ago.. this $1,200 is the literal equivalent of the cake Marie Antoinette let them eat 🤦♂️
I see you Democratic party 🕶
Any news on how to let them know they missed the $500 per kid portion of the first check? Any update on how/when that will be rectified? Any reason to expect them to NOT make the same mistake again?
I worry about the longterm effects of this. While I appreciate the first check, I didn't need it and I'd rather it go to people who do in larger amounts.
Canadians have now received 3 $2000 cheques, on time, so far.
Thank God. Just went to the grocery store and paid about $100 more than I usually would, because of higher prices. How are these young families going to make it through this!! I'm young, but I'm single and have no children. I'm truly worried for these families!! 😢
And yet here I am still waiting for my first check...
I’m still waiting on my first check
denied
Excited! Now if only I could get my first one, and we'd be golden.
Still waiting for the FIRST one... 😡
Go Democrats,,.
Rip it up now Send the House back with instructions: No sanctuary city bail outs No money for planned parenthood No money to illegals No vote by mail Yes to voter ID WHAT ELSE IS GOOD FOR AMERICA
Another inadequate response.
Vote no
We want KamalaHarris plan! $2000 per month until this is over! Stimulate the economy, protect people’s homes so 100m families don’t declare bankruptcy! mtpdaily
Not enough.
Hell fucking yeah
Another? We both still haven’t received the first one! And we always do direct deposit.
Bleed the Taxpayers Dry is their motto...
