Senate GOP proposes $618 Billion Coronavirus Relief Bill ahead of Biden meeting

[task0778]

A group of 10 GOP senators unveiled an estimated $618 billion coronavirus proposal on Monday ahead of a meeting with President Biden to discuss relief legislation. The group will meet with Biden and Vice President Harris at 5 p.m., according to the White House's schedule.

The group includes GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Bill Cassidy (La.), Mitt Romney (Utah), Rob Portman (Ohio), Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.), Todd Young (Ind.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), Mike Rounds (S.D.) and Thom Tillis (N.C.).
.
.
The proposal includes $160 billion in pandemic response funding including protective equipment and more money for vaccine distribution. It also extends the $300 per week federal unemployment benefit through June 30.

The bill includes a $1,000 direct payment, compared to the $1,400 direct payment in Biden's plans, with $500 for adult dependents and children. The proposal also lowers the income cap for qualifying for the direct assistance.

Under previous coronavirus bills, individuals who make up to $75,000 would receive the check, with the amount of the payment phasing out after that. But under the GOP proposal individuals who make up to $40,000 would get a $1,000 check, with the amount of the check phasing out altogether at $50,000.

It also includes $20 billion in additional funding for schools, $20 billion in child care funding, an additional $50 billion in small business aid, $12 billion for nutrition assistance and $4 billion for behavioral health resources.

Notice there is nothing in there for the minimum wage increase, which has diddly squat to do with the COVID Relief, and in fact would do damage to the eventual effort to reopen small businesses and startups. Also no aid to the states and cities. I think this is a good proposal that definitely shows far more fiscal sanity than what the democrats want to do.

Federal Government is dumping the responsibility to execute but no funding

They seem out of touch. Of course that is the gop's primary problem. They're divided between qnon appeasing Maga folks, and Mitch McConnell and Grassley and Collins.

Although the dems have folding in the fed min wage to covid stimulus, and it's an effort to "go big" and pass more of the dem agenda than just relief.

It has nothing to do with covid relief.

We have a group of republicans who are too timid to confront insurrection by their own party and who apparently think 150K two wage earner families don't need relief and/or they won't spend the stimulus. And have never considered a plan to actually get shots in people's arms.

And we have a group of democrats who think the fed min wage, public transit, financial aid to college students, cyber security and state aid that indirectly goes to public pensions.

I will be surprised if the gop can actually agree to a stimulus directed towards people who actually work for paychecks though

imo the dems need to get at worst a 70-30 compromise or just keep all their non covid proposals and pass it. They can still do reconcillation at least once more on taxes.

I’d like to see if Republicans are willing to actually bargain
They are offering one third, not much of an offer when Dems can pass it without them

 

[easyt65]

They seem out of touch.

Democrats destroy 50% of all minority-owned small businesses, have put ALL remaining small businesses on life-support, have put millions of Americans out of work, and have violated both Constitutional and Civil American Rights through Un-Constitutional socialist personal edicts - many of which the USSC have had to step in and shut down - while flaunting their criminal hypocrisy...

They passed a $900 BILLION 'Relief Bill' that was enough money to give Americans OVER $2,000 per needy Americans but instead gave Americans only $600 to Americans because they spent money on pet projects and sent money to socialist nations like Venezuela.
- Pelosi called the previous $1400 pay-out to Americans 'crumbs' but proudly bragged about giving Americans $600!

Now Pelosi wants to pass another $2 TRILLION 'Relief' Bill, one in which - despite Democrat-generated American suffering - Democrats will be sending BILLIONS of dollars to foreign nations.

And the GOP is 'out of touch'?!

Democrats don’t destroy small businesses, what a stupid claim. The biggest destroyers of small business are poor management, lack of invest and competition (usually from big corps)

The second stimulus of $600 was a slap in the face to Americans needing relief.

The Republican proposal is another slap in the face
