Pelosi: $2.3 Trillion Coronavirus Relief and Government Spending Bill a ‘Down Payment’
Hannah Bleau 28 Dec 2020
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Sunday referred to the $2.3 trillion coronavirus relief and government spending bill, which is among the biggest spending bills passed by Congress, a “down payment on what is needed to crush the virus.â€
Congress passed the massive $2.3 trillion government spending bill, which includes $900 billion for coronavirus relief, last week. President Trump announced Sunday evening that he would sign the bill despite objections to billions in “pork,†as the bill includes billions in foreign aid and benefits for special interests.
The legislation, as it stands, only provides $600 in relief checks for the American people, but Trump has been pressing lawmakers to increase the amount to $2,000, and Democrat leaders appear to continue to rally around the call.
