White House offers $1.3 trillion coronavirus aid bill, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that's not enough

Trump said later that Pelosi was only interested in bailing out states run by Democrats, casting doubt on chances of reviving stalled talks for another round of fiscal stimulus.

Three weeks after talks on Capitol Hill broke down without a deal on legislation to help Americans suffering from the coronavirus pandemic, Meadows said the Republican president was “right now willing to sign something at $1.3 trillion.” Pelosi said, among other things, the Republicans “are rejecting the funding needed for testing and tracing to crush the virus and safely reopen schools and the economy.”Asked about talks between Pelosi and Meadows about another stimulus package, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on a flight to Washington from New Hampshire: “My impression is she wants to give no stimulus, all she wants is bailout for badly run Democrat states.”The Democratic-led House in May passed a $3.

bailing a state is for ppl also but Trump is only okay with bailing big corporations

What happened to the Xorona virus? I thought we were embarking on a deadly second wave. nbcnews CBSNews cnnbrk What a joke.

Coronavirus Relief on the cheap ain't gonna work...

Bothss party's are hard to love. 3 parties wed all be dead .😁. But I would love to just obey one side.. Pick a side and pay tax to em. Much better theme in my opinion.

That was the opening bed by the tR Senate the Dems came down 1 trillion so the Republicans need to come up 1 trillion that’s called negotiation people the tRP waited until the benefits ran completely out Democrats passed a bill three months ago!!

They say this because it sounds like they are being generous. Looking at the details, you can see that they are leaving significant things out. The question is why.

Reminder to everyone that Mark Meadows was Freedom Caucus when he was a representative in the House. Some current & former Freedom Caucus reps you may recognize: Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz, Louie Gohmert, Steve King, Mick Mulvaney, Ron DeSantis, Dana Rohrabacher.

not enough money in the world to fix this. remember its just printed paper. dont make money worthless. Are we gonna have 10,000 dollar bils worth 1 dollar

$1.3 TRILLION dollars is not enough Does Nancy Pelosi know that we have a national debt? That is more than enough. Open all businesses and let people get back to working and making their own money.

PELOSI doesn't give a crap about the American people. Her bill is FULL of kick backs to her business buddies and the bill has very little to do with americans.get your facts straight before you print. PELOSI is just as deranged as Biden.

With that money you could pay off mortgages and fund rent for everyone

It’s plenty of it all went only to people

There's old stupid Mark Meadows.

Guess who I trust? The guys who gave virus relief loans to their donors ( to buy Trump billboards) or Nancy? Right. Nancy. TrumpFailure DumpTrump2020 TrumpIsANationalDisgrace

WHERE IS MITCH MCCONNELL?

12 million facing eviction. Around 1 million Americans filing for unemployment on average the last few weeks. Millions more approaching the end of their benefits. Speaker Pelosi is right.

Not enough for Pelosi's wasteful pet projects, more like! Nor enough to pay off the unions and rescue corrupt, incompetent, bankrupt, and lawless Democrat states and cities.

Pass what’s agreed upon now negotiate rest with government shutdown talks...simple!!

SpeakerPelosi how long are you willing to wait while millions suffer over UI. I am a Dem and I'm disgraced you can sit there and not negotiate anything get the UI done Get the State funding done. Do your fkn job and get relief to the 30m on Unemployment. outoftouch

No, Nancy wants it spent differently... Trump is just playing political games with it.

realDonaldTrump your only chance of winning is another stimulus. People are hurting badly and yet you and senatemajldr do nothing. Golfing, vacations and tweeting LAW & ORDER wont fix this. GET TO WORK!!! GOPdepression

People like her are the reason we have a huge deficit and shit government programs. Idiot doesn’t even read bills before she promotes them. If we put out more money we need to earmark the rest we need for our wall!

Pelosi wants to give money to illegal immigration

The HEROS Act had money in it for food, evictions, hazard pay, and the $600 for unemployment. This is a pic from the press conference held on August 13. This does not reflect changes that meeting halfway would have necessitated. This is off the original $3 trillion proposal.

Heroes Act passed by the house in May, sitting on McConnel’s desk ever since. GOPLies GOPCowards GOPBetrayedAmerica

So there ya go. Thanks, Nancy.

Democrats have already made a good faith offer by coming down from $3 trillion to $2 trillion. The White House has only offered 0.3 trillion more? Trump’s friends and families get billions, but the rest of us are left out to starve

It sounds like the WH proposal doesn't include (adequate) funding for testing and tracing, based on what Pelosi said. I reckon it may also include the payroll tax cuts that Trump keeps trying to force and skew toward 'stimulus' over aid.

Fuck Trump its our money!

No one is safe as long as Donald Trump has his hand on the button! He has unleashed his Weaponized Fascist TRUMPIST THUGS from their training camps to terrorize the American people before the November election. TRUMP WILL NOT BE PRESIDENT COME NOVEMBER TrumpGate

AndorraHustle besides reading this type of people see it for yourself !! With real recorded conversations and info !! What is a facist state like spain

Stick to your guns Nancy. And this Meadows has no idea what Trump is willing to sign because Trump changes his mind every five minutes. He has no principles like his sister said.

What’s the big part they’re leaving out? She’d take it if it were a quality bill. Something is up.

True.

So the idiot does nothing?

Pelosi's position on this -- I do not speak for her -- usually concerns process, she demanding specific school and testing etc. targets, Trump responding that she just is being wooden... Her fear being it all will go to his corporate & other buddies, again... Not the headline...

Still has 377 million for Trump to redo the West wing stuffed inside the aid bill. That's what the republicans think is needed right now? They only want to help the top 1%.

So... 2.3 trillion (1 trillion is still in the coffers) isn't enough? Enough of her evasiveness. Time to vote her and her life long divisive cohorts OUT!

How much is the bill without the pet projects? You know there are things in the bill that are not directly for the American people. Take anything out that doesn’t pertain to us then you’ll have the true price. Anything more is unacceptable.

Pelosi wants 2 Bankrupt the US Treasury which would take $ fr other impt programs like Social Security 2 fund her stupid ideas. This is a time 2 really conserve spending, considering the fact that the Corona will B around 4 two more yrs. Pelosi-sell Ur 10,000 dresses 4 charity.

The Speaker submitted a $3.4 trillion bill to the Senate for debate and negotiations.. Where are Senate Republicans at on the negotiations? Ducking, hiding? $3.4 trillion is on the table

bulldoghill Nope. 🖕

All democrats will be gone come November

Pelosi needs to be given a helicopter tour over the pacific, might help to motivate her to do her job.

It’s called negotiating.....

Hag speaker Pelosi is a disgrace!

Where did the money of Antifa & BLM came from ? SpeakerPelosi BarackObama

.SpeakerPelosi Madam Speaker are these low ball numbers from Trump & Co because they only care about getting through the election? If so, you should say that more often and loudly and start publicly asking if you’ll be able to get any more when that runs out if he loses.....

Headline should read 'WH pads coronavirus with pork for the 1%, while Pelosi says 'Nope'' 'More for the working people, or no deal!'

Most of it will go to Trump's buddies like last time so yeah, it's not enough if the American people want any of it.

It is not fucking enough! Ask how much money they gave themselves, their friends, large corporations etc. They , especially this prick, are criminals. People are hurting and they do not give a damn.

Pelosi U R DEAD RIP

The Do Nothing Democrats are delaying much needed financial relief because they want people to suffer.

The white house doesn't write bills, they don't control the purse, they haven't passed anything in the Senate i.e. the legislative body controlled by GOP. The POTUS cannot offer 1.4 trillion. Correct this

Where is the first check? My family didn’t get any checks. I got it though

Pelosi says coronavirus relief talks at 'tragic impasse' after first call with White House in weeksTalks broke down between the speaker and the White House earlier this month and they remain about $1 trillion apart on how much to spend. She just may be league of crumbling America just as $trump is. TRUMP executive order must be good enough for McConnell & GOP? Despite that they claim they CARE about people who are lining up to get food for their family, and many of them lost their HEALTH CARE by loosing their jobs. Evictions and some cars impounds about to start. Of course not, because she is blackmailing the President with all sort of crap unrelated to the relief effort, so they will block progress and blame on the President, which is what these useless democrats always do.
