Washington — The Senate appeared to be inching closer to a deal on a massive stimulus bill to respond to the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic on Tuesday, following two days of negotiations between Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

A final vote on the bill could still happen Tuesday night, but it is looking more likely that it will take place Wednesday, multiple congressional sources tell CBS News, as new elements of the deal must still be converted into legislative text that negotiators can review.

Markets reacted positively to the news, with the Dow rising more than 11% on hopes that both sides were coming to an agreement.

The markets could also have reacted to our President suggesting light by Easter.  I hope he's right.

Now it's being reported that Pelosi and Schumer are negotiating the deal with Munchin and there will only be a voice vote on it with no time to read it.

Why am I getting the feeling that Trump just made the biggest mistake of his presidency.

I heard that today from a co worker.  Said it would come out of our 2020 income taxes.
