WASHINGTON - The Republican-led U.S. Senate scrambled on Saturday to forge a bipartisan agreement on a $1 trillion-plus bill aimed at stemming the economic fallout from the growing coronavirus outbreak, as talks neared a deadline for drafting and passing the legislation.

White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told reporters he expects the final legislative package to be worth $1.3 trillion to $1.4 trillion. A consensus appeared to be emerging on the general contours of the package and both sides were finding common ground on benefits for individuals, small businesses and people left unemployed by coronavirus, according to Republicans.

Republicans and Democrats wrangled in private over how to get money into the hands of individuals impacted by the health crisis including proposals that would issue $1,000 checks to some Americans and utilize state unemployment insurance programs to provide income to those unable to work due to the effects of coronavirus on schools and employers.

Yuck. I can smell the rotten pork from here.

i think you need to look up the definition of 'races'

Because of Trump's 7-wk delay, they know the sh*t hit the fan (sorry for the profanity, I did put an asterisk 😛)

Massive for who? The poor get nothing.

Let Americans have government buy their debt from banks. No payments until back at work at tremendously lower interest rate so people can dig out of expenses while out of work. Banks are fluid, Americans can breathe with hope for relief and Gov makes money when payments come in.

And the Blue wave 🌊 idiots want this guy in charge...😆

Complete the sentence.. 'due to corona virus'.

No Republican Plan!! Nothing for the poor- left to die
