Pelosi, Schumer say White House declined $2T coronavirus deal
By Jordain Carney - 08/07/20 01:00 PM EDT

Democratic leaders said Friday that the White House rejected an offer for a roughly $2 trillion coronavirus relief package.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said that as part of a closed-door Thursday meeting, Democrats offered to reduce their $3.4 trillion price tag by $1 trillion if Republicans would agree to raise their roughly $1 trillion package by the same amount.

That strategy, effectively trying to split the difference between the two sides, would result in legislation costing between $2 trillion and $2.4 trillion.


"'We'll take down a trillion, if you add a trillion in.' They said absolutely not," Pelosi said during a joint press conference with Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Friday.

Gosh I hope Nancy won't mind if we wait to hear confirmation of content of the negotiations from someone who isn't a lying sack of dog squeeze.

I'm interested in finding out what the rats are trying to fund with the money this time.

Good question. In fact I could use a few hours a day free from outrage.
