McConnell provided further detail in a speech on the Senate floor Thursday. He said the legislation under discussion includes billions of dollars in forgivable federal loans for small businesses. He added that Congress will have future opportunities to address the long-term impact of the coronavirus crisis when they write regular annual spending bills later in the year.
Democrats want to provide a major increase in the amount of money provided through the federal unemployment assistance program — perhaps as high as an equal match to the salary lost. Schumer is also calling for that program to be extended for many months, along with expansions to paid sick and family leave. The president
"In light of the guidance issued by the CDC, we will be adjusting the House schedule. It is my intention that the House will not return to session until we are in a position to vote on the third piece of emergency legislation to respond to the economic impact of this crisis," Hoyer said in a letter to House Democrats.

'Quickly' for Mitch means 'warp speed' (~7-10 days of delay), lots of lies, then ripping out all the good parts of the bill and adding profit for him and his posse.
$1T is a drop on a hot stone!
NO corporate welfare.
MitchMcConnell Ark of safety lies in quick response, not delaying coronavirus bill needlessly, which is already approved by Democrats. Make White House functional again should be priority of all Republicans Wishing healthy Spring
Take care of people first then vote on the airlines later, they are still doing domestic flights. Don’t try to pack everything into 1 bill! Just get something done to help people, it is urgent!!
There better not be a penny in there for corporate bailouts unless those corporations forgo paying executives bonuses for a few years. If they can afford to pay bonuses, they don’t need a bailout.
i already know it sucks if the GOP is in charge of it.
Let me guess. We all pay them a trillion dollars in taxes and they proceed to give it away to themselves and their donors? GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPTaxScam
Is body language the after affects of 'gag and vote' ?
No bailouts!
🐢
No tax dollars for companies. Only for people.
So nothing still no change nothing has been proposed. Thanks for trying to polish that up for the republicans.
Mitch is gonna make sure that Mitch gets paid with this one.
Wow, so soon?
SpeakerPelosi don't let them bailout big business without help small business. People need jobs not handouts.
