Senate Republicans say Congress may eventually need to craft yet another major coronavirus package. But not at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lightning-quick pace

.

“Before we jump into another massive bill, let’s take a deep breath,” added Sen. Pat Toomey , who said Congress would “probably” need to pass additional legislation and fix issues with the Phase Three bill at some point. On a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Pelosi and several committee leaders pitched a robust, climate-heavy infrastructure plan with a price tag close to $800 billion over five years. That package — which looks much like one rolled out by House Democrats in January — includes massive investments in rail and transit, as well as electric vehicle chargers. Democrats say it would amount to a massive jobs program at a time of record unemployment.

“Nobody was waiting around to see what more needed to be done. We just wanted to stipulate what was needed. Well, now, we know what is needed,” Pelosi said, adding that the next package would “take a few weeks anyways” because Congress is out of session.

Pass it anyway/let mitchie come up with more nonsense

Yes give Nancy Pelosi another chance to put all her crap in the bill again.

They're gonna hurt their own folks with that delay. Right-Wing fruitcakes are the major violators of COVID-19 protective guidances.

They have barely implemented anything from the last one? Tick, tick, tick.

Republicans should get out of the way.

There waiting for more deaths. Less people to give money to. Capitalist pigs.

More at a, many gifts for the lobbyists, pace

They can’t keep up? Then they need to just get out of the way.

Pass it anyway, then put public pressure on the Senate to do their job and legislate.

It’ll be a looooooong time then.

House Looks At 4th Coronavirus Aid Package; Pelosi Says She Won't Get TestHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it could be several weeks before any bipartisan legislation. She also said she would not be tested herself, despite an apparent new case among her members. THey could act sooner if Pelosi would allow remote voting. That’s funny because when I called my local B of A bank to ask for a relief loan for small business, they said they don’t have any information about that & couldn’t help me. Advised me to call again on a week. Their slow actions will cost Americans their lives!! That’s how this works, right?
