Pelosi to Bring $2,000 Direct Payments to Vote on Monday

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that she will call House members back on Monday to hold a recorded vote on the $2,000 direct payment measure requested by President Donald Trump.

“Monday, I will bring the House back to a session where we will hold a recorded vote on our standalone bill to increase economic impact payments to $2,000,” Pelosi said in a statement. “To vote against this bill is to deny the financial hardship that families face and to deny them the relief they need,” she added.

On Tuesday Trump criticized the omnibus spending package that had been finalized by Congress on Monday, saying that more money was going to foreign countries and lobbyists than to the American people.

He urged Congress to increase direct payments to American families from $600 to $2,000.

On Thursday House Democrats filed a unanimous consent request for $2,000 direct payments, which was blocked by Republicans. They have so far been silent about the reasons for blocking the increased payments, but they did address the portion of the spending package that sends millions overseas to help foreign countries.

It's so typical of the rats to ignore the rest of the objection to their boondoggle farce of a "relief" bill.   The only relief it gives is to illegals and foreigners...and to leftist politicians... who couldn't care LESS about the struggles of Americans right now. 

Pelosi should be in Gitmo.... rotting in a cell on a bread and water (no ice cream) diet....along with several dozen of her cohorts.   Just sayin.

So, it is a stand alone bill?  One item only ... yea or nay.  Really or did I miss something like a little pork for the K streeters?

My, how novel. What a concept.  So alien to these assholes I am surprised they even thought of it.

They think they're being clever by calling Trump's $2,000 bluff.   Not clever and not cute.   But typical.

I seriously doubt that it will truly be a stand-alone bill. Most likely it will be a bill to amend the garbage already passed in this one area only.

When you say amend.... you mean "add to" the garbage they already passed, eh?

When Pelosi wanted only $600 for legitimate citizens, but $1,800 for foreigners, many had notproblem with it.  Now $2,000 to Americans, the hated and despised Americans ?  OUTRAGEOUS!  Its enough to make a virtue signaling leftist go stark raving mad and riot  !  Poor babies!
